Fed up now...

[LondonManc]

Started new gig, working away from home so already bit fed up with that.

Netflix is your friend.

First week, I find out that contractors can't use the company car park so have to endure a trip in on the shuttle bus or a 25 min walk from some dodgy town centre car park.

Splendid - good for IR35

Second week, I find out that the 'flexible hours' referred to in the interview mean core hours of 10-12 and 2-4, so no early departure is permitted on a Friday. This makes me even more fed up.

No WFH either? Ho hum, suck it up. I treat early darts and WFH as a bonus when I'm working away.

Third week, a gaggle of Bobs move in the office and I'm railed by a chorus of coughs, snorts and sniffles as they adjust to our climate and/or the air conditioning. As someone who struggles with misophonia, this has set my teeth well and truly on edge.

Every instinct is telling me to walk but I'm trying to keep my professional head on and just endure until the end date.

Lovely. It's the snotty snorts that I really hate. I hand them a pack of tissues (which they seem to think should be used for blocking the toilets).

[WTFH]

The murrain of beasts has arrived.

Deep joy.

And if you think a wet hen gets a bit irritated, just imagine what a wet parrot is like.

Wet hens don't get irritated, they just look like drowned rats until they dry up.

Ah. Must have confused them with cats. Easily done.

Ours positively enjoys getting wet in the rain and will go and sit in the middle of the lawn during a downpour.

He then comes in and ambushes us by chirping for attention, which results in an absent minded hand being lowered to cat height to provide fuss, followed by cries of anguish as it meets sodden fur.

He also enjoys being toweled off vigorously before going back out in it again...

Morning.

Dark oneside, sunny the other.

Dry.

Cool.

Train on time. Class 150. On a Monday too.

Hill steep.

Monday.

Om.

Bullet for Sir?

Bumping this seeing as I'm fed up with the weather.

Gorn but not forgotten .

Or something. .

Probably washed away in the rain. Or emigrated back to Tau Lacertae IX to keep their reptilian blood warm.

What are you moaning about? It's the warmest May, June and July on record. The BBC were warning that temperatures could reach 21c and they ran out of red crayons to colour the weather forecast maps.

Lovely weather for Ducks, just sat in the garden drinking tea and watching the grass grow.

Not sure if I have the kind of mind affliction that would make me shoe in for US president or AI is helping me write posts.

Today I'm in Client Co's offices. There's a lady who's got a fan heater on despite the aircon being set to heat.

As for all the "Warmest ever months", not around my way they haven't been. Oh, and the rain! I've never had such a crop of slugs and snails.
