Have a shit on his deskcabbles said:I've been having a hard run at work at the moment. Basically I'm in sales and I've been struggling to sell. Processes and approaches that have worked for me in the past haven't worked so well in the last few months. I'm trying to change it up but old habits die hard etc.
So if you've ever done a sales role, one of the hardest things is that your performance is there, staring back at you on a daily basis.
My company is small, about 7 of us. I've given absolutely all I have to it to the extent that when my form dipped off last year, I didn't have a holiday and only used 4 days annual leave. It's a similar story this year and besides I can't afford it.
So with all this anxiety and fear etc and wanting to do well, today I get sent an email whilst I was away from my desk on my mobile to a prospect from my MD, asking why that was my third long break this afternoon and it was a similar situation this morning, and is there a problem? Now I'll admit I do have a few bog breaks, but they are often for perfectly good reasons (i.e. I need the loo). I'll also admit that I take the phone with me and browse this site among other things.
Yet this is a watershed moment in my career. Shit breaks and perceived long absences from my desk are being monitored.
I couldn't believe it. Also given the fact I was on my mobile busting my gut to try and speak to a prospect etc

doesn't surprise me in the least. poor excuse for a satirical paper. they subtract wit and class for shock and so called humour.ValleyGary said:

I swear old guys (like 70s) just go to the gym to get naked. I never see them anywhere else in there except for starkers in the changing room.8

When you go for a dump at work and play a couple of games on the mobile phone, get back to your desk and need a shit because you forgot to go as too engrossed in the game you were playing.11

Bit misleading seeing that on the link is the headline: Behailu Kebede raised the alarm as the Grenfell Tower inferno began to spread, his neighbours have saidValleyGary said:
The Mail sinking to new depths of cuntiness
So its not like they're blaming the incident on him
Plus another part of the article: "Saved lives: Mr Kebede, pictured on holiday, would have saved lives by alerting his pregnant neighbour Maryann Adam, 41, that a fire had started in his flat at number 16"1 -

Well you shouldn't be accusing if you haven't read it in all fairness. Even though you may have a point.ValleyGary said:I don't wanna click on the link mate

Still not sure about that hotel. Yes, I asked for a balcony, but with views of the Ocean not the bins.cafcdave123 said:

Some very weird things go on, on this forum. Sometimes I just don't know what to say! But I wouldn't change it at all!1

Walking up the garden to the garage to put the washing in the dryer in just my pants, thinking it will be fine because it's dark and forgetting about the security light at the end of the garden.8

earlier today getting on the bus, there's always someone faffing around for their oyster or contactless and hence causing a big delay getting on the bus
I watched this woman at the same stop as me, we were both there for a good 5 minutes. Time that could've been spent preparing, getting purse out of handbag, getting card out of purse. No. Instead we get 'ooh, I can't find my card, ooh hang on a minute'

Work with someone like that. Everyday she has to do a 10 minute walk from her car to the office, then every morning without fail she spends 2 minutes rummaging around her bag of shit looking for her keyfob.cabbles said:earlier today getting on the bus, there's always someone faffing around for their oyster or contactless and hence causing a big delay getting on the bus

She also can't handle having more than one window open on her computer at any time. I don't mean having two windows open at the same time; if she wants to compare two Excel files, she will write down the figures she wants to compare on a piece of paper, save the file, close it, open a new Windows Explorer, navigate to the next file, then open that one up and then compare what she has written down with what is on the screen.
Then she inevitably fucks it all up and I spend an hour unfucking her work. Stupid cow.14 -

Talking of which. People who go onto Portugal holiday forums and ask about betting on the horses. Then when they are told they can't, proceed to tell you how every other pub in Spain takes a bet.
If you are physically unable not to chuck your money at bookies for fortnight (in which case you need help anyway), try researching before you book your holiday, or place your bet before you leave the UK...2 -

What good have they ever done? Even the word is irritating.2 -
I asked a bloke at work recently to update some commentary on a spreadsheet I'd started. I had added the 'comments' column.Fiiish said:

He printed the spreadsheet on A3 - added the comments in pen and handed me the printout.
I just kept staring at the printout and then back up at him for what seemed like hours before he asked if I would prefer it if he added the comments in the spreadsheet itself.
Utter, utter helmet!14 -
As I said earlier in this thread, I don't know why fuckwits with zero computer literacy insist on applying for jobs that use computers (and presumably put 'good computer skills' on their CV). It's like applying for a librarian job and you have never seen the alphabet before in your entire life.SuedeAdidas said:

I once worked for a CFO whose excel skills were so advanced that he would type a list of numbers onto a spreadsheet, then add them up on a calculator and type the total into the excel sheet. And this was 2009, not 1991.10

That wasn't really the issue. He is passable with Excel.....but woefully below par on common sense.0
