I came back to work a day early :(((((
I had forgotten I'd booked today off. They're so busy and were so relieved to see me early that I don't have the heart to go home again. Gutted.

I expect you'll tell me that I made a contract with them to use my holiday today and I should make them stick to it, or some such.

no
but i wouldn't be surprised if they tell you that you can't have the day back when you try to book more holiday.

you missed some classic stomping and deleting yesterday. it all happens when you turn your back.

it almost sounds as if you think psycho is a little whingebaby who goes crying to the mods because he can give it but he can't take it

( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 5 Sep 2012, 10:07, Reply)

I think Q went a bit far about chompy's girlfriend,
but a week was extreme for a what was banter.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 5 Sep 2012, 10:11, Reply)

she seems like good fun; i had a great night of banter with her on /talk a few years ago.
but did Q go too far? hmmm. i think on balance he only went on what was clearly visible in her profile, so no. it would be disgraceful to stalk her online and post pics or a link to her job, but he didn't. he just poked psycho, who rose to it exactly as Q wanted. after all, if she had given a fuck, she could easily have weighed in and told Q to fuck off. she's hardly a shrinking violet.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 5 Sep 2012, 10:17, Reply)

i dunno,
i like Q, but i think he was definitely a little close to the wind.

it all went weird with 2.0 man, but people ignoring each other were logging off to see what their internet enemy was saying, responding , logging back in to ignore them and logging back out to see what was being said
ignore 2.0 is shit

How will we bully qotw if they are all ignoring us?

Given the exasperated replies to posts I made saying it was going to be shit
I'm finding it hard to not be at least a little smug.
( Kroney, Wed 5 Sep 2012, 10:10, Reply)

you said people would log out and in to see what was said about them
and that people would use it to upset people and cause anarchy.

NONE of this has EVER happened.
( rachelswipe with a fork, Wed 5 Sep 2012, 10:24, Reply)

I also said people would use it to censor other people
from seeing parts of the board.

This hasn't happened either.

At the end of the holiday year, let me know if they remember your early return.
We'll discuss it then.

I'm sorry you seem to think all bosses are dicks.
Anybody that knows me will tell you that I don't think highly of my fellow man however, my boss has not once acted against the best interests of his employees. This is because we will generally do what we can to help him out and so he reciprocates.

Once again, a massive leap to 'you seem to think all bosses are dicks'
I don't. I've had some awesome bosses, in fact I've had more great bosses than dicks.

i think you should get a calendar or diary,
possibly powerpuff girl themed, so this sort of thing doesn't happen in future.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 5 Sep 2012, 10:04, Reply)

I have a calendar.
I have multiple methods of accessing this calendar from outside the company. I could have done so whilst in Romania if I'd thought of it.

This, Piggo, is pure, basic fuckwittery.

oh kroney,
well, enjoy the fact that if you slack today, no one will blame you, and see if you can get a nice lunch out of one the colleagues that is happy to see you.
( Windy Pig I'm naturally quite suspicious about the moon., Wed 5 Sep 2012, 10:12, Reply)

If I'd thought to put the dates on my personal calendar
I could have accessed that from my phone over 3G.

There is no angle of this from which I don't look like a bit of a dick :(
