Things That Shit Me the Eighteenth

[Pistol Night]

Also wombats are passive and pose no threat to us, whereas a crocodile would eat you. Some animals look cute, eg some monkeys, cats, yet are dangerous.

We are not supposed to criticise Aboriginals who would stone an animal to death but a white person would be condemned and fined. Does it make a difference to the animal?

Wombats are nut cases if you get one in the wild pissed off. Shes lucky it was docile

 

[Madas]

Pollies are on safe ground condemning this sort of thing; they don't risk upsetting half the population.

Americans are weird; she's a self-described biologist and environmentalist, yet she hunts for recreation and doesn't mind grabbing a wild animal baby to gratify her own desire for a selfie. They (not sure about her but wouldn't be surprised) also keep wild animals as pets in apartments.

Everyone raved about Steve Irwin but I don’t like how he pestered the shit out of animals who were minding their own business.

Software update on my TV.

Instead of all my preferred apps/services being prominent and easy to select, it has decided to saturate my screen with shit, including a large "recommend for you" section at the top.

No, I'm not interested in Sky News or a heap of other sponsored trash.

Can't get away from ads. **** off.

 

[peternorth]

Used to annoy me too. Now I think "Meh. I know what they meant. Get over it. We all have our thing."

No, everyone has their own think.

That yankee "influencer" picking up a baby wombat. The cries of distress are gut-wrenching. Dumb bitch.

I seem to have missed the wombat thing. What happened?

I seem to have missed the wombat thing. What happened?

An American tourist, a so-called "influencer", saw a wombat and her baby near the side of the road. She got out of the car and took the baby off her mother, running off with it in her arms. The poor thing was squealing and the mother was looking very distressed. All the while the guy she was with, an Aussie, was filming her and laughing. Utterly disgusting.

God. She's delusional.

She's an American tho. That's almost a prerequisite

Almost certain she voted for Trump.

Honestly. I wouldn't know. I completely ignore all that shite and I will be for the next four years

Not advice at all. Just a statement.

Had to have a go at a workmate yesterday, in short she's lazy as ****. A week ago I asked her a yes/no question that she knew the answer to via Teams. This went back and forth but she suggested I look at the daily report in my emails to find out. I ended up calling her (at midday) and no answer and no returned call all day.

Anyway yesterday she rang me and it was basically the same scenario, something I knew the answer to but she could have found from her emails. I pointed out that I could help her but didn't really feel like it given her lack of help in a similar scenario for me.

She (very) begrudgingly apologised for that, so I said no worries I'll send you an email in 5 mins with the info, which i did.

I'm not the only one shit like this has happened too with her, she works from home basically exclusively, is in a non client facing role so you'd think be available all day within reason, she goes missing a lot, **** knows what she does.

Have you raised it? What has management said?

Good that you called her out.

It's so refreshing to see someone addressing something directly. So much of my job is people whinging to me about little tiny grievances that they could easily just handle themselves by speaking to the person about it.

This is part of the problem, our director got the arse late last year, now we're reporting into the CEO in the US. So we have no local leader, most of us are working together to make the best of the situation, some are taking the complete piss. I don't want to complain to the CEO about this so trying to sort our shit together.

It's not something I enjoyed doing at all, I just got triggered when she asked for my help. A lot of my other colleagues have experienced similar with her, turns out prob half an hour earlier another colleague had a go at her as well for going missing.

I'm hoping she puts in a bit more now, i'm not sure this will happen though, nothing is ever her fault etc etc

Pls complain to the CEO about it. Mostly for our amusement

That's a massive red flag of narcissistic entitlement. I don't understand the bigger picture here but that doesn't sound promising

First Musk, now a f***ing inbred white Zimbabwean in charge of the Olympics. At least Seb Coe can go back to his "judo" bouts with William Hague now.

I always wondered what would happen if no contestant made it to the 1% question on the 1% club. Happened this week. They just take the contestant/s who gets the furthest. Which is a bit lame. If they can't answer the 10% question they shouldn't get a go at the 1% question.

The CEO said don't hesitate to come to him for anything that is impeding business. She is impeding business with her behaviour but it would look like whinging IMO. I'm going to have to keep calling her out unfortunately, don't worry I'll update you all with the latest ha ha

That's a massive red flag of narcissistic entitlement. I don't understand the bigger picture here but that doesn't sound promising

She's very entitled to this job. She doesn't appreciate how good she has it, she probably has to work for one hour a day seriously. If she was always contactable but did **** all I really wouldn't care.

Bigger picture is she's nearly 40, unhappy in her relationship, she's realised she'll never have kids and not rapt how her life has turned out. She keeps saying she needs to get paid more, well doing the bare minimum (and even less) won't help.

She could so easily be made redundant, basically all she does is load sales orders, could be done a lot cheaper and more efficiently by someone in our Singapore team, really hope this happens.

I sent out an email about my plans for the end of term rewards activity and asked for feedback. No replies. Can guarantee there will still be at least a couple of people say after the activity, "Why didn't we do this?" or "We should have done that."
