    Do they have one about what to do when an active shooter shows up? Capital One had me do that one twice in the time I was there, along with the actions to take on hearing a tornado warning, despite the fact that both eventualities are comparatively rare in Nottingham

      I always leave those to the end of the day when I need something easy.

        Morning all

        Was dry, now intermittently horizontally wet.

        Windy.

        The windtunnel effect of the side passage has taken the door mat on its travels once again, this time around the corner of the leanto.

        Sunless, but a lighter grey than one might expect.

        The marsh is really really full of water at the moment.

        As in covered with it.

        I hope it's just the tide coming in, but it looks like a big one.

        Apparently Friday.

        Gosh. 10m.

          I left the final tranche until after I'd retired.

          It worked quite well.

            yeah a decade or so off yet, I don't think I can stall HR that long.. Might be worth a try.

                    The Melbourne skyscraper happened because somebody accidentally tagged the building in OpenStreetMap as having 212 storeys; it was later corrected to the true figure of two storeys, but by then the Flight Sim developers had grabbed a dump of the data

                      ClientCo in Cambridgeshire kept sending me reminder emails about some mandatory compliance tests but the chap in charge of my project told me to ignore them because nothing in the tests was relevant to me, so I did. They were still arriving when the contract finally ended
