Its not that I'm attached to my car, I rarely clean the thing, I just don't like people thinking they can go around damaging other peoples property. I'm fairly sure in that situation I'd key the persons forehead and see how they liked it... depending on the size of them obviously* Razz

Delivering a pizza. Local order, minimum fee. 10 mins work tops, as no waiting time at pizzeria this time of day.

Address incomplete. Customer has given name of road only. There is a hotel of the same name in that road, I assume they are there, and I phone them, they confirm that they are indeed there and will be standing outside.

I get there. Nope. Rolling Eyes Phone them again, no they are at the other hotel at the other end of the road, outside a hotel with an entirely different name.

I get them their food. They then proceed to walk into a different building entirely, offices in fact, the address of which is actually a different street from the one they gave me to start with. Rolling Eyes

That's been such a pain in the arse today, I'm out with my mates back home at the weekend and we are arranging
it via whatsapp, well were anyway. Rolling Eyes 3 of us on 02. It's working ok with wifi though but still a pita. I'm waiting for
some to get home from work so we can continue our arrangings via wifi.

O2 have always been shit for outages in my experience, although some of that was with giffgaff who are first to go down. It was funny at work when we had O2 PDAs/Satnavs, phones, so you were Tom Hanks for the day when everything went down.

Now that I have been home for long enough to boot up the home PC I have been able to look up who has been trying to phone me eight times today.

It appears that the number 0330-010-8312 is a call centre in the UK trying to phone me about PPI.

This number has now been added to my phone reject list.

I was lucky, I heard about the outage so I wanged in my EE PAYG sim in my latest phone which has dual sim. Paid £3 for some data and problem solved. Used it again today just to be on the safe side.

People who butcher their bike's wring loom in the name of 'cool'. Twin Bates headlamps are not cool. Stuffing the entire contents of your headlamp into the space behind the headstock after using all manner of different diameter wires to extend it is not cool. Wrapping the loom in gaffer tape and refuse sacks ain't cool either nor is it cool when you've run out of 30A fuses trying to find out where the hell it's shorting.

I so much wanted to stab someone over this today...

Have you checked the bulbs? If there are twin headlights when one blows it can cause such a surge on the other that it melts the thick wires that the filament connect to together.

Was fine. The fuse protected it. It took me most of the day to find what was causing the fuse to blow though.

That is Engineering at it's best. Any Engineer will tell you that botching the job is necessary to keep production going. Worry about engineering it properly later after the event, cunting Capitalist buggers.

Yes I'm bitter spent much...bla ....bla

Reverse engineering.

Na, what happens is operations sit on a known requirement for months, at times after getting quotes for it (which is how you know its been months) then come and ask if your quote is still valid and can they have it in half the time.

You protest somewhat and then do what you can with the remaining time to keep it all working because steel is cheaper than downtime.

If it is urgent (rarely) then the pressure is on to avoid downtime and find a fix which can be addressed properly later, but again it comes from Ops.

It's not really in engineers nature to bodge things, wrong mindset entirely

I was out from work on Friday so expected everything to be a mess today, I started to boot up my laptop and connect it up to various displays.... Only to find that someone has taken my VGA to HDMI adapter. I need this to do my job and nobody owned up to taking it, IT lads didn't have any spare ones either.

Also I have a cough that is giving me a headache.
