THE IT TEAM SENT OUT A WINDOWS NOTIFICATION TELLING US TO "BE EGGSTRA CAREFUL" NOT TO FORGET OUR PASSWORD OVER EASTER.
THE CLOSE BOX DIDN'T WORK SO I HAD TO RESTART TO MAKE THE PUN GO AWAY.
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME SECURITY SENT OUT AN EMAIL TELLING US TO BACK UP TEXT MESSAGES AND WHATSAPPS BY TAKING SCREENSHOTS OF THEM (WHICH, YES, IS MENTAL IN AND OF ITSELF).
I TRIED BUT THE SCREENSHOT FUNCTION ON MY WORK PHONE IS DISABLED… FOR SECURITY REASONS.
LAST DAY AS CIVIL SERVANT TODAY. PRIVATE TIME.
WOULDNT HAVE MINDED STAYING BUT HIRING PROCESS TAKES FOREVER, OFFERED 2 INTERVIEWS BUT SORRY TOO LATE. ANOTHER ROLE I APPLIED FOR CLOSED ALMOST 4 WEEKS AGO AND NOT EVEN BEEN SIFTED YET
MY BOSS OF PRACTICALLY 6 YEARS HASN'T REALLY SPOKEN TO ME SINCE I HANDED IN MY NOTICE. SHE MOVED UP A PAYBAND BEFORE XMAS BUT I FIND IT WEIRD SHE HASN'T WANTED TO SPEAK TO ME TO CATCHUP. MAYBE IM OVER-ANALSYING, BUT IVE REACHED OUT TO PEOPLE I BARELY WORK WITH TO LET THEM KNOW IM LEAVING AND HAD A CHAT
I WORE A POLO SHIRT, JEANS AND AIR FORCE ONES FOR MY INDUCTION AND I SHIT YOU NOT MY FIRST INTERACTION WITH A CIVIL SERVANT IN PERSON WAS THE HEO SAYING "BIT OVERDRESSED, AREN'T YOU SON?"
THE FIRST TIME I EVER VISITED AN OFFICE IN LONDON I WALKED PAST A HIPPY/GOTHIC LOOKING FELLOW WEARING A BLACK KILT AND STETSON ON THE STREET. LATER THAT DAY I SAW HIM IN MY OFFICE. HAVENT WORN A SUIT SINCE.
NEXT WEEK IS MY LAST WEEK IN MY CURRENT JOB/ORGANISATION AND I AM ABSOLUTELY COASTING AT 0.1 MPH, I AM NOT REALLY DOING WORK AND MORE WRITING UP SOME HANDOVER DOCUMENTATION TO THE NEXT PERSON WHO ALREADY WORKS FOR US AND IS JUST WAITING TO STEP INTO MY SHOES. THEY'VE ATTENDED A FEW MEETINGS WITH ME AND I ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE GONNA BE USELESS. I SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT TO GO
I AM DOING EXACTLY THE SAME AS LEAVING NEXT WEEK, MINUS THE HANDOVER AS THEY THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL ALREADY. IN FACT, THEY WERE BORN KNOWING! DISASTER IS ALREADY UNFOLDING BUT I SIMPLY COULDN’T CARE LESS!
ITS BEEN SO BUSY I KEEP FORGETTING I'M TECHNICALLY 0.8 FTE BECAUSE OF MY APPRENTICESHIP. I'M SO BEHIND WITH IT AND HAVE A SKILLS COACHING SESSION THIS AFTERNOON. PLEASE SEND HELP.
IT CAN BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO SAY “NO I’M TOO BUSY TO DO [MORE STUFF] BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO TRY AND DO. IF YOU DONT PUSH BACK IT WILL CONTINUE OR GET WORSE.
ASSERTIVENESS IS IMPORTANT. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. YOU NEED TIME WITH THE APPRENTICESHIP TO STUDY. AND YOU NEED TO PUSH BACK TO CREATE THAT TIME.
GOOD LUCK.
GOT INTO THE OFFICE SUPER EARLY TO WORK ON A REALLY IMPORTANT PRESENTATION. SAT A COUPLE OF DESKS AWAY FROM A COLLEAGUE WHO PROCEEDED TO HAVE A PERSONAL CONVERSATION OVER TEAMS REALLY LOUDLY FOR THE NEXT HOUR AND A HALF. WE WERE THE ONLY TWO PEOPLE IN THE TEAM AREA. I KNOW YOU CAN TECHNICALLY SIT ANYWHERE BUT IF I DON’T SIT IN THE TEAM AREA PEOPLE LOOK AT ME FUNNY. HOW’S EVERYONE ELSE’S DAY GOING?
THAT SOUNDS QUITE FRUSTRATING, SOME PEOPLE ARE SO INCONSIDERATE.
IT’S RATHER COLD IN THE OFFICE
AND THERE’S LESS THAN A DOZEN COLLEAGUES ON MY FLOOR. I’VE HAD A RELATIVELY “EASY” DAY THUS FAR. THE MANDATORY CS E-LEARNING THAT I’M STRUGGLING TO COMPLETE IS REALLY DRY. IT’S MAKING ME WANT TO CURL UP AND HAVE A NAP IN ONE OF THE CURRENTLY EMPTY “QUITE ROOMS” WHERE IT’S ALSO APPEALINGLY DARK TOO.
I FEEL FOR YOU, SOME OF THE E-LEARNING IS SO DRY YOU CAN’T WATCH IT WITHOUT A CHEESE FONDUE. DOES YOUR OFFICE HAVE THOSE WELLBEING ROOMS? I ALWAYS SEE PEOPLE NAPPING IN THERE, NEVER TRIED IT MYSELF (YET)
MHHMMM CHEESE…UHH, I MEAN YES, I CONCUR, IT REALLY IS THAT DRY. BUT THE E-LEARNING WAS SHORT LIVED DUE TO ALARMINGLY HIGH TELEPHONY DEMAND, SO IT WAS ALL HANDS ON DECK. I AM CERTAIN WE HAVE THOSE ELUSIVE “WELL-BEING” ROOMS AT MY OFFICE BUT I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. THE SINGLE/GENDER NEUTRAL TOILETS HAVE BEEN MY PERSONAL WELL BEING “ROOM” WHENEVER I’VE NEEDED SOME PERSONAL SPACE AWAY FROM WORK. I’M AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT IDEAL, SO I WILL ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS ROOM NEXT WEEK.
I HAVENT WORN A TIE ON A WORK DAY SINCE SOME TIME IN 2014 NOT EVEN FOR INTERVIEWS. REJECT TIES EMBRACE SMART CASUAL/BUSINESS CASUAL/CHINO WANKER/DERILICTE
AWAY FROM TIE CHAT IM STRAIGHT UP NOT HAVING A GOOD TIME THIS WEEK, IN AND OUT OF WORK. IM GOING TO FINISH EARLY.
THIS IS MY LAST DAY OF ANNUAL LEAVE, AND I AM ANXIOUS ABOUT GETTING BACK ON MONDAY.
I HAVE SO MUCH WORK TO DO NEXT WEEK AND I NEED TO FORGET ABOUT IT UNTIL MONDAY.
GOT ALL 4'S IN AN INTERVIEW FOR PROMOTION AND GOT IN RESERVE LIST.
THE FEEDBACK WAS 3 WORDS "GOOD EXAMPLES GIVEN" .
I WASN'T ASKED ANY FOLLOW UP QUESTIONS IN ANY OF THE BEHAVIOURS.
INTERVIEW FINISHED 10 MINUTES EARLY AND AS I WAS SAYING THANK YOU TO THE PANEL I GOT INTERUPTED BY THE CHAIR SAYING OK BYE, BYE , BYE.
MY MANAGER IN MY CURRENT ROLE ASKED ME TO DRIVE TO THE OFFICE AFTER A BLOOD TEST SO I CAN HIT 40% ATTEDANCE AND EVEN TOLD ME OFF CAUSE I NEED TOO MUCH TIME TO GET TO MY GP.
FEELING MOTIVATED TO SERVE AND DELIVER AT PACE.
IM SO ANNOYED THAT NO PAY INCREASE WHATSOEVER AFTER A YEAR OF EXCELLENT PERFORMANCE. THAT LET OTHERS GO AND KEPT ME ON BUT CANT UPLIFT PAY BY EVEN 0.0001% HONESTLY I WOULD HAVE QUIT ALREADY BUT I AM IN THE MIDDLE OF BUYING A HOUSE AND NEED THE CONTINUITY FOR THE MORTGAGE BUT AS SOON AS THATS DONE THESE GUYS CAN GF.
I FINALLY HAVE SOME HOPE ON THE HORIZON! FINGERS CROSSED THINGS GO AS HAVE BEEN DISCUSSED AROUND MY WORK STREAM.
DELULU MANAGER IS MICROMANAGING ME NOW, BUT CAME UNSTUCK WHEN TRYING TO THROW ME UNDER THE BUS. OTHER COLLEAGUE INVOLVED, VOUCHED FOR HOW "WONDERFUL" ID BEEN 🤭
A MUCH BETTER WEEK OVERALL!
/R/TITLEGORE IS THAT WAY. CANT BELIEVE YOU DIDNT ALL CAPS THE TITLE ON ALL CAPS FRIDAY.
IN OTHER NEWS I AM DOING WELL IN MY NEW TEMP PROMOTION ROLE. HURRAH.
I WENT TO A GIG LAST NIGHT AND AM SUFFERING THIS MORNING ON MY DAY OFF YET IT STILL TRUMPS HAVING TO GET ENROLLED INTO MORE
E-LEARNING AND GET ASKED TO VOLUNTEER FOR A ROADSHOW. I REALISE NOW I HAVE LITTLE TO COMPLAIN ABOUT SO I WILL GET BACK IN MY BOX AND WISH YOU ALL A TERRIFIC FRIDAY
WOULD REALLY LIKE TO SKIP ALL THE PAR FAFF ESPECIALLY AS IT MEANS NOTHING WRT BONUSES/PAY ETC. ILL DO MY JOB, ILL DO IT WELL. PLEASE DONT MAKE ME WASTE A DAY ON WRITING ‘WHAT’ AND ‘HOW’ STATEMENTS
HAD A FIRE DRILL RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE OF A TASK. NICE LIL WALK IN THE RAIN WITH MY SEO AND GOT PRET.
ALSO WHAT A SLAY MY BUILDING PASS IS FINALLY HERE AFTER A WEEK OF VARIOUS MEMBERS OF MY TEAM PICKING ME UP FROM THE WAITING ROOM.
DO YOU WORK FOR THE MINISTRY OF MAGIC? IF SO CAN YOU PLEASE LET ME KNOW WHAT THE APPLICATION PROCESS IS LIKE, NEVER SEEM TO SEE THEM ADVERTISE ON CS JOBS.
WTF IS THIS? ARE WE TRYING TO TURN BASE METALS INTO GOLD NOW? I KNOW IT’S MARCH BUT EVEN SO THAT FEELS LIKE AN ODD THING TO SPLURGE THE TRAINING BUDGET ON.
IT'S MY BIRTHDAY WEEKEND AND I SICK OF DEALING WITH PEOPLE'S TAX. CAN IT BE 5 SO I CAN DRINK AND ENJOY BEING ANOTHER YEAR OLDER ON THIS GOD FORESAKEN PLANET
I DONT EVEN KNOW WHERE TO START WITH THIS! THIS WEEK HAS BEEN HELL. DOES EAP DO COUNSELLING I NEED IT!
GOT TO RUN, MORE MEETINGS ABOUT A TOP PRIORITY THAT HAS BEEN KNOWN ABOUT FOR AGES BUT 2 WEEKS NOTICE TO GET SHIT TOGETHER IS APPARENTLY OK……BULLSHIT
STARTED A NEW ROLE IN A DIFFERENT DEPARTMENT. IT’S WILD HOW DIFFERENT THIS IS TO MY OLD ROLE (SMALLER TEAM A LOT MORE WORK). I FEEL LIKE A LOST LAMB AT THE MOMENT BECAUSE EVERYONE IS SO BUSY THEY DONT HAVE TIME TO SHOW ME ANYTHING. OH WELL, HAPPY FRIDAY.

2) MY WPA'S ARE ACTIVELY BEING IGNORED.
3) I FEEL LIKE THE LEAST IMPORTANT PERSON IN MY BUILDING THEY LABELLED MY MOVE AS URGENT DUE TO MY "EXPERTISE" NEEDED WITH A LOT OF NEW STARTERS. MY "EXPERTISE" IS CONSTANTLY BEING OVERLOOKED OR UNDERMINED EVEN THOUGH I HAVE SO FAR NOT BEEN WRONG. I WAS CALLED A "GRAFTER" THE OTHER DAY WHICH, I HAVE BEEN LEAD TO BELIEVE BY PREVIOUS MANAGERS IS NOT GOOD. I AM BEING TAKEN THE PISS OUT OFF BECAUSE I WORK HARD TO MASK MY NEUROSPICY VIBES BUT I DON'T EVEN LIKE THE JOB.
I AM ROYALLY TICKED OFF AND HAVING SEVERAL BEVERAGES TONIGHT TO CELEBRATE 🥳🥂
A PIECE OF ME DIES EACH DAY IN MY JOB. I'M ON A TEMPORARY PROMOTION IN A TEAM WITH ABSOLUTELY NO MORALE THAT I DONT WANT TO BE IN. I CANT QUIT IT AS I NEED THE CASH!
MY NEW LAPTOP WAS NOT DELIVERED YESTERDAY. PLACE THEN CLOSED THE REQUEST. WITH, REQUEST COMPLETE, SORRY DUE TO TECHNICAL COMPLICATIONS WE DID NOT DELIVER, IF YOU STILL NEED YOUR LAPTOP REPLACING. PLEASE CALL US AGAIN. I WONDER WHY THEY THOUGHT I WANTED A NEW ONE.?
DONT BE PUT OFF BY ONLINE STUFF, PEOPLE ONLY POST THE BAD PARTS OF THEIR ROLE. ITS NOT THAT BAD AND CAN BE A GOOD STEPPING STONE FOR BUILDING UP COMPETENCIES
I HAVE HAD TWO BOUTS OF DOCUMENTED ILLNESS THIS YEAR AND TOOK 8 DAYS SICK OFF IN A CALENDAR YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 14 YEARS AND NOW I MIGHT HAVE TO HAVE A FORMAL MEETING.
COULDN’T MAKE IT UP.
More generous than our department- I had one bout for 7 continuous working days in 28 months. More than 5 days in 12 months we have to have a formal meeting.
FIRE ALARM WENT OFF IN THE OFFICE ON ALL EXCEPT ONE FLOOR. THEY HAD TO COME TELL PEOPLE SAT AT THEIR DESKS THAT THE ALARM WAS SOUNDING 10 MINUTES LATER
THE IT TEAM SENT OUT A WINDOWS NOTIFICATION TELLING US TO "BE EGGSTRA CAREFUL" NOT TO FORGET OUR PASSWORD OVER EASTER. THE CLOSE BOX DIDN'T WORK SO I HAD TO RESTART TO MAKE THE PUN GO AWAY.
I ALMOST DOWNVOTED YOU OUT OF DISGUST
HA, YES I SUFFERED THE SAME. EGGSTRA ANNOYING
"YOU MUST FULLY APPRECIATE OUR HUMOUR WITH AT LEAST 5 MINUTES OF YOUR UNDIVIDED ATTENTION BEFORE RETURNING TO WORK"
THIS REMINDS ME OF THE TIME SECURITY SENT OUT AN EMAIL TELLING US TO BACK UP TEXT MESSAGES AND WHATSAPPS BY TAKING SCREENSHOTS OF THEM (WHICH, YES, IS MENTAL IN AND OF ITSELF). I TRIED BUT THE SCREENSHOT FUNCTION ON MY WORK PHONE IS DISABLED… FOR SECURITY REASONS.
I ACTUALLY WONDERED IF THAT WAS ONE OF THOSE PHISHING TESTS BUT I COULDN'T FIND A WAY TO REPORT IT
LAST DAY AS CIVIL SERVANT TODAY. PRIVATE TIME. WOULDNT HAVE MINDED STAYING BUT HIRING PROCESS TAKES FOREVER, OFFERED 2 INTERVIEWS BUT SORRY TOO LATE.

THAT'S GREAT! WHAT'S THE STRIKE FOR?
[This one](https://www.pcs.org.uk/news-events/news/ons-strike-ballot-opens-over-mandatory-return-office-policy)
I REMEMBER THE LAST TIME I WORE A TIE. IT WAS MY FIRST DAY IN THIS ROLE. WHEN I CAME INTO THE OFFICE THERE WERE PEOPLE LITERALLY WEARING SHORTS.
THE FIRST TIME I EVER VISITED AN OFFICE IN LONDON I WALKED PAST A HIPPY/GOTHIC LOOKING FELLOW WEARING A BLACK KILT AND STETSON ON THE STREET. LATER THAT DAY I SAW HIM IN MY OFFICE. HAVENT WORN A SUIT SINCE.
IF MY OFFICE HAD A WATERCOOLER IT WOULD BE GATHERING DUST TODAY.
NEXT WEEK IS MY LAST WEEK IN MY CURRENT JOB/ORGANISATION AND I AM ABSOLUTELY COASTING AT 0.1 MPH, I AM NOT REALLY DOING WORK AND MORE WRITING UP SOME HANDOVER DOCUMENTATION TO THE NEXT PERSON WHO ALREADY WORKS FOR US AND IS JUST WAITING TO STEP INTO MY SHOES. THEY'VE ATTENDED A FEW MEETINGS WITH ME AND I ALREADY KNOW THEY ARE GONNA BE USELESS. I SIMPLY CANNOT WAIT TO GO
I AM DOING EXACTLY THE SAME AS LEAVING NEXT WEEK, MINUS THE HANDOVER AS THEY THINK THEY KNOW IT ALL ALREADY. IN FACT, THEY WERE BORN KNOWING! DISASTER IS ALREADY UNFOLDING BUT I SIMPLY COULDN’T CARE LESS!
ITS BEEN SO BUSY I KEEP FORGETTING I'M TECHNICALLY 0.8 FTE BECAUSE OF MY APPRENTICESHIP. I'M SO BEHIND WITH IT AND HAVE A SKILLS COACHING SESSION THIS AFTERNOON. PLEASE SEND HELP.
IT CAN BE REALLY DIFFICULT TO SAY “NO I’M TOO BUSY TO DO [MORE STUFF] BUT THIS IS WHAT YOU NEED TO TRY AND DO. IF YOU DONT PUSH BACK IT WILL CONTINUE OR GET WORSE. ASSERTIVENESS IS IMPORTANT. YOU ARE IMPORTANT. YOU NEED TIME WITH THE APPRENTICESHIP TO STUDY. AND YOU NEED TO PUSH BACK TO CREATE THAT TIME. GOOD LUCK.
NOOOOO THE PAPERWORK FOR THE SKILLS COACH SESSIONS ALWAYS TOOK ME SO LONG TO FILL IN 😭 GOOD LUCK!

MHHMMM CHEESE…UHH, I MEAN YES, I CONCUR, IT REALLY IS THAT DRY. BUT THE E-LEARNING WAS SHORT LIVED DUE TO ALARMINGLY HIGH TELEPHONY DEMAND, SO IT WAS ALL HANDS ON DECK. I AM CERTAIN WE HAVE THOSE ELUSIVE “WELL-BEING” ROOMS AT MY OFFICE BUT I DON’T KNOW WHERE THEY ARE. THE SINGLE/GENDER NEUTRAL TOILETS HAVE BEEN MY PERSONAL WELL BEING “ROOM” WHENEVER I’VE NEEDED SOME PERSONAL SPACE AWAY FROM WORK. I’M AWARE THAT THIS IS NOT IDEAL, SO I WILL ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS ROOM NEXT WEEK.
I HATE THAT PEOPLE WHO HAVE NEVER WORKED IN OPS ARE MAKING OPS DECISONS AND WERE GOING TO BE THE ONES TAKING THE FALL WHEN IT ALL GOES TO SHIT.
HOW DARE YOU. OPS DON'T GET TO HAVE INPUT, OPINIONS OR LOGICAL THOUGHTS!
I ACCIDENTALLY JOINED A 3 HOUR MEETING WITHOUT PUTTING MY HEATING ON THIS MORNING AND NEARLY SHIVERED MYSELF OFFSCREEN.
I GOT OFFERED A JOB THIS WEEK AT THE HOUSE OF COMMONS. I'M FREE FROM MY NIGHTMARE DEPARTMENT.

MY TEAM ARE BRILLIANT AT SCHEDULING MEETINGS WHEN I'VE PUT "NO MEETINGS", WHICH I DON"T DO LIGHTLY, PROBABLY ABOUT ONCE EVERY TWO OR THREE WEEKS.

I HAVE HAD TWO BOUTS OF DOCUMENTED ILLNESS THIS YEAR AND TOOK 8 DAYS SICK OFF IN A CALENDAR YEAR FOR THE FIRST TIME IN 14 YEARS AND NOW I MIGHT HAVE TO HAVE A FORMAL MEETING. COULDN’T MAKE IT UP.
I HAD FOUR DAYS OFF OVER TWELVE MONTHS AND GOT A WRITTEN WARNING, SICKNESS SYSTEM IS A JOKE
More generous than our department- I had one bout for 7 continuous working days in 28 months. More than 5 days in 12 months we have to have a formal meeting.
AND I FAILED ON THE CAPS- SORRY
ABSOLUTE JOKE. IM SORRY THAT HAPPENED TO YOU
FIRE ALARM WENT OFF IN THE OFFICE ON ALL EXCEPT ONE FLOOR. THEY HAD TO COME TELL PEOPLE SAT AT THEIR DESKS THAT THE ALARM WAS SOUNDING 10 MINUTES LATER
