  • He’s “served his time” with dishes. He started work as a kitchen porter a few months ago, so we agreed that ge should get a pass on doing the dishes at home. The next oldest two kids have that fun task now!

    Due to the time he gets off etc we agreed the bins were the best candidate. Get home; empty bins; stick em out if needed. But apparently it’s too big of an ask.

  • Aye that’s my thinking at least. It’s been going on for ages as well, and no matter what I do or say it’s just not getting through.

    I’m trying to set him up to be able to cope on his own and if he can’t (or worse, won’t) engage and start pitching in with such a small ask then he’s gonna be fucked when he’s trying to stay afloat on his own.

  • I’m the opposite. I manage a BAU team and our team are active on slack, and seem to be thriving. We have two webex meetings a week, keep in constant touch and we all love it.

    Online communities are more than good enough at the best of times so I don’t see how they can’t work in the professional space.

  • Ok - but I don’t go to work for a sense of community? I go to work to earn money to survive. My tasks get done, profits are up overall so why do I need to feel engaged and how does being isolated have any negative effect on that?

  • It’s so demoralising as well. There was someone handing out (Scottish) labour flyers on the high street and looked at me like I was an idiot when I laughed and said they’re just red tories.

    It’s a race to see who can fuck us over the most for the benefit of the “elite”.

  • Sounds like a great Sunday!

    I’ve gotten side tracked from bg3 due to the first two Children of Time books. About 35 hours in though and enjoying it more than any game in ages!

  • Happy Sunday folks.

    Weans are back to school tomorrow up this end and despite saying I’d get them up early, I’m currently making my coffee and then gonna just enjoy another hour of peace and quiet.

  • It’s a waste of time. These types of people are as thick as mince, you’re not gonna change their mind because they have zero interest or incentive to do so. It’s a fucking cult of morons.

  • Nice one. Love Blackpool - my aunt stays there so I was shipped off down there every summer. Not been in ages though!

  • I recognise that! KFC in Tower Hill, London. One of the filthiest restaurants I’ve been in but holy fuck it’s still the best KFC I’ve had like 5 years later. Also - you Have to pay for the fucking toilet as well.

  • Happy anniversary! Hope you both had a good ones

  • Love the zoo! Which one you off to?

  • Morning folks.

    Happy Friday. Not for me though! Work are doing this stupid fucking push towards ai (years late IBM, as usual) and have arranged this stupid Watsonx challenge we have to participate in. I’m leading a team that aren’t bothering their arse. Work has given us hardly any notice and it’s all set up as a “sneaky” way to get us to train it I suspect.

    Kicked off last Friday and the deadline is Sunday yet I’m still fannying around with Jupyter notebooks trying to get it set up and accepting the data. Clueless. Doesn’t help that there is zero context for setting it up, just a huuuuge list of instructions.

  • At first when they changed the layout I thought it was to try and mimic a mobile phone kind of layout, portrait instead of landscape sort of, to make it identical on pc and phone. Not that it made sense then, But they’re pushing everyone to their shite app so it makes even less sense now.

  • Aw bless her! At least shes all cozy :)

  • I have rain in the next hour :(

  • Where is this gorgeous weather? Overcast as fuck up this end. Although I’d prefer that over being roasting all day to be fair.

    I’m a just a crabit bastard today. Uninspired and mopey all week. I’ve even made the weans eat Iceland style dinners the last two nights - even made the little gits make their own. Delegation is honestly the best.

  • Tory cretins acting like the scum they are. Fuck yeah, I guess.
