The Office 2016

18/11/2016

0 Comments

 
So, I am unfortunate enough to have to work in a shared office with a bunch of kids, yeah I do mean kids, 4 of them are 21 or under, but have the mental capacity of 4 years olds.
​When I first came to the college, there was 4 of us, now there are 10.
​So I intend over the next few months to make a documentary about it, I will be shooting covertly, i.e. the buggers will not know until the end what I am doing, otherwise they make act like normal human beings, so watch this space.

Parcel Services, I shit em.

My old laptop has had it's day, and that was 5 years ago, so with a heavy heart I decided to buy a new one, a very expensive one, I spent the last couple of weeks researching the best laptop for me, it needed a big hard drive, 2Tb, a large memory, 12Gb and the latest i7 Intel processor, a behemoth of a machine, so having decided on the best deal for the money I ordered it online, a couple of hours later I get a phone call from the company saying that my new laptop would be delivered Saturday morning before mid-day, and they wanted to make sure I would be in as I had to sign for it, cool I said and I started planning my weekend around installing all the software I have.

​Saturday morning comes and goes, no laptop, so I decide to wait in with the hope that it will arrive later knowing that the company delivering it works up until 8pm on a Saturday, at 4pm I decide to give the company a call just to check that they are actually delivering on Saturday, the company tell me that they will call the courier and get back to me, about 30 minutes later I get a call from the company saying that I had signed for it at 11:55, 'No', I say, I have been in all day and no one has called, they then ask for me to send them an email with my signature which I do, a little while later that ring me back, the signatures do not match at all, so where is the laptop I ask, they tell me that they will get back to me on Sunday, yes, on Sunday, so I have now wasted a whole day and I am now waiting for a call from the laptop company with an update?

Sunday morning comes and goes, nothing then a phone call from the laptop company, they have decided to send me a new laptop on Monday, as they now have the other one as lost in transit, I ask are they using a different courier, yes they tell me, and they also inform me that the delivery person is now under investigation by them and the police, i ask which company they were using and they tell me it's My*******, I say OK, I will have to get someone to stay at my home as I work so I won't be there, OK, they say whats your work address and they will deliver it there, Cool.

I did not tell them that the women who delivers my My****, lives about 10 doors down from me and I see the main hub lorry delivering to her address almost daily, and yes, I did see it at 8am on Saturday, I have over time had a few parcels go missing and I have asked her before when she has delivered others does she get a lot of missing parcels? She said at the time that, they often get lost before she gets them, now what she does not know is that I was an IT director of a very large online parcel company for 3 years, and I know that every time she gets a delivery from the hub she has to check the locked cage that they come in and sign for them, so I await an outcome, I may even pop up to her house and ask if she has anything for me just to make a point.
 So I am now at work awaiting my new laptop which I know is on its way by special courier and I will get a text when he gets to the college, I'm now excitedly waiting for my new power machine.

Is the USA now TRUMPTON

10/11/2016

Well it's happened, the USA have voted for Donald Trump to be their next president, so what went wrong in the Clinton camp, I suggest that they chose the wrong person to run in the campaign, she had a history of being economical with the truth, lying during the campaign and entering into the slanging match with Trump, I would suggest that had she just concentrated on the policies that she had, and ignored the playground slagging off of her opponent, I think she would have made it into the WH (White House) for a second term, what I mean by that is, do you really believe the Billy Boy was running the county? NO, it was his wife Hillary.

So what now, well Trump got where he is by saying he would shake up politics in the USA and he has done that just by getting in the WH, he also got the votes from the ordinary people, those who felt left behind by Obama, I think that the democrats were the better of the 2 evils this time, Donny has promised to end the rising tension between the USA and Russia, Putin loves Donny because he is a bit of an idiot, or so he thinks, I think Putin is in for a bit of a shock once Donny settles into his new role, on the other hand Clinton would have pushed the button and sent us into WW3, so maybe Donny is the better option for a short period, I really hope that the Republicans get him to step down and let someone else take the reigns before he does something that cannot be undone.

So I have now declared a new name for the WH and it is TRUMPTON, yes after the little fictitious town from the TV of my youth where Windy Miller and the rest of the gang had adventures every week, why Trumpton, because I believe that the WH will become a place of where puppets take control of the country, and we all know that its not real.

God Save America, as they say, but they will need more than God to get them out of the shit they now find themselves.

Brexit & High Courts

4/11/2016

0 Comments

 
Normally I would keep my political views to myself and I don't go around advocating any political party, how ever the High Court ruling on brexit and leaving it to a bunch of MPs mainly labour, deciding on what and when we decide on article 50 and the actual terms in which we leave really pisses me off.

Labour and those with loads of money will do anything to stop us leaving, but I say we voted to leave and thats what we should do, Cameron let us decide, which was the right thing to do, we voted to go, so lets fucking go, admittedly May is now in charge but at least she has the decency to do what the people wanted, and for those of you that still don't understand we voted as a country to leave the EU, I am not interested in what the scots, Irish, welsh or any other of the union think now, as a nation we must now leave.  I do understand that Scotland gets a very large payout from the EU, and that payment will stop when we leave, but maybe it time they stood on their own two feet and became independent, they keep moaning that they want to be independent, but I don't think that they are cable of being so.

SO when it comes to the next election, I hope all you voters think about who parliament are and that they are OUR servants,  to do what we have voted for, voting for any other party other than the Conservatives will be a vote for a party that don't give a fuck what we want as a country.

So fuck Corbin and the rest of then, next time I will definitely be voting for the only honest party left, Conservative.
