There’s not many people around this week so I’m stealing tea from the kitty system that I don’t contribute to.

I’m disappointing oblivious to all this sort of thing at my work, usually find out about things happening about six months after they happened and everyone else knew about it. used to have a friend who was ace at finding everything out and then let me know, but she moved departments so that dried up a bit sadly.

My department has just been moved to the big office (which is actually smaller than our old office but naming conventions are a strange thing), which has famously bad parking and a two year wait list for a space. A load of my department’s higher-ups have skipped that wait and been given parking spaces, much to the chagrin of both the people who were already on the list and the people who have been moved and now don’t have a parking space. So far there’s been a lot of rage parking in the spaces allocated for the queue-jumpers.

Since you asked I’m very happy with my new allocated space, thank you very much.

I’ve got a Penguin. A fucking Penguin. Of course.

Oh parking spaces are a hot potato here too!

Best story about them is a guy we’ll call Pricky Von Prick who emailed our head of HR to complain that the paint was still wet on the repainted space markers and had got white paint on his tyres. He wanted her to arrange for it to be cleaned.

Obvs, she was like ‘lol no’.

He pressed it, so she asked if there were any wet paint signs or cones to show the paint was still wet. He was all like “of course not, I’m not an idiot!”.

So, our head of HR checked the CCTV footage to see Pricky Von Prick drive up, move the cones and the wet paint sign, then park up in the space they were in.

I’m scandalised by your description of tunnocks and penguins as “chocolate bars” when they are clearly chocolate biscuits

I’m just repeating the menu description. Just be thankful it’s not called a Leicestershire chocolate bar.

Our overflow car park is about two minutes walk away. You’d think it involves crossing the River Styx the way people talk about having to park there.

Our old office and its vast swathes of mostly empty parking spaces is only a 10 minute walk away, but most people park on the road outside the new building where it’s a near certainty that an articulated lorry will clip your car. Reasonably sure these people are hoping their cars will get hit so they can whinge about it.

Brilliant.

UPDATE: I went out for lunch and when I came back someone had parked in my space. Wasn’t too fussed but someone in my team took it properly personally and has boxed them in. Let the beeves commence!

Recycling:

I do it. I’m involved. I’m sure I read a thing not too long ago that said it’s basically bollocks, and they’re not really doing anything with much of the stuff we recycle. Is that right? I don’t want it to be, but I feel like it was a reliable source, and backed up by several other reliable sources.

Thanks for your time.

I used to audit a couple of landfills* and from my experience as much stuff as possible doesn’t go in because landfill tax is so high. Don’t actually know what happens to it instead though.

*Was actually reminded about this this morning by the worst thing you’ve ever smelled thread.

Auditing a landfill?

Yep, that’s a landfill. marks as adequate
