    Nah.

    I think the thread was prompted years ago when I was watching the rain being blown uphill by the wind on a particularly grim day.

    There are many grim days in Swansea.

    It is, however, rather interesting that someone has liked every post up to page 23.

    Now that's what I call dedication.
    Or stalking

    Do you post this thread to your recruitment agent as an invoice zeitghost?

    It's miserable, chucking it down and there is almost no visibility on the m4 due to clouds of mist, so many punters have responded by deciding not to put their lights on, especially the camo jeep doing 80

    The expected "drizzle" is torrential.
    I thought that was standard for Welsh drizzle?

    Phew! Wot a Scorcher!

    38°C to come, apparently.

    We might get to find out at what temperature various bits of kit switch themselves off.

    Based on a tale I heard in 2004 where a classroom of Macs were switching themselves off during a heatwave.

    Another Monday morning

    Over six years at the same client sight, with permies continuously whinging about the latest round of redundancies the whole time

    I've seen contractors come and go, and I was supposed to only be here for three months whilst they recruited some permies to replace me, but they keep renewing and renewing

    I've spent longer here than any permie job I had, now I'm seeing permies leaving enmasse, and all the contractors bar me going

    Everyone else is demob happy, or grumpy over leaving or staying, me I'm just bored

    Bored, bored, bored, but still carry on carry on, carry on invoicing

    At skool in SA, our Afrikaans teacher used to get violent if we called her Miss. I guess mis has the same meaning.
