Potentially the longest thread in history...

OH. MY. GAWD. We just swapped over our main office printer with a new one (contract ran out) and were told we're relocating the new machine from the middle of the office to the very corner near our finance dept because "they print the most".

Turns out they use it maybe once or twice a week as they recently went paperless. Now everyone else in the building is stuck walking across the whole office just to get to the printer (20m-70m away).

NOW I find out it's all the work of the head of finance (whose office is now literally right next to the printer) because she didn't want to get her fat *** out of her chair to go to the printer when she occasionally needed to print something.

How to subtly bring up the fact that the whole office shouldn't be inconvenienced to suit her

Tell her she can walk her fat *** to the printer like everybody else because she needs the exercise.

Wish I could lol, she's unfortunately on a salary 3x the size of mine and is the CEO's personal attack dog when he needs something bad done to someone in a legal way

Today I failed my ****ing driving test again damnit -_- this time I failed like 4 mins in because I exceeded the speed limit, but not like you think! I was coming down a road that led to a T intersection, turned left on the T and see a sign that says "60" 15 meters down the road. So naturally I speed up to 60. Instant fail because you can't go 60 until you *pass* the damn sign. Another $70 down the drain -_-

I failed mine twice, at age 23: First time I did everything PERFECTLY - scored 100% on the written AND in the yard, but the coppa who took me for my drive around decided that I "coasted" to a stop at a stop street. Once. And so he failed me.
Second time, I was weak and anemic (nearing the end of a vegetarian decade, but moved out of the house a few months earlier... just shows how much my mum was helping me with the right food!) and couldn't lift the hand brake and the coppa who took me THAT time didn't know the area, so he took me up the steepest hill in the town and made me stop at the top. I got the hand brake (Yanks call it an emergency brake) up... but I could NOT lift it high enough to get it down again... So he failed me, even though, once again, I had aced every other part.
Third time... I was healthy, happy, and totally focused and I aced it again. The coppa was a lovely dude who was very grateful when I saved our lives with my quick thinking and reactions (An idiot in a taxi went straight through the red light in front of us) so he was happy to pass me. Third time lucky!

Living in Germany, I had an international license which translated into a military license.. so I didn't have to get my license there thank goodness (it's a TOUGH process there) but when we moved back to the States, I had to get my license again and had to write the US test and do the US driving test... all very new to me and at the ripe old age of 40! But I passed it just fine, strangely enough. Once again, I saved the lady who was my tester and I, from certain doom, as a semi came barreling up the road, cutting the corner - luckily, we were in the Smart car and I slammed it into reverse fast enough to get back from the semi's trailer!
Passed!

Good luck on your next one - and just remember, it's only a few minutes of obeying the rules and focusing on being "perfect" After that, it's smooth sailing!

This is probably the biggest doownside to brexit. Weak pound means £100 added to the 7+ price. 256GB is £919..

Signed up to POF (Plenty of Fish) buzzing at the thought I'd maybe get a date and finally meet someone. So I'm at home about two weeks ago and with in 20 Minutes get an Inbox off someone local in my City. Sitting their buzzing having the conversation then she turns around and says I'm an escort. Sat their gutted for about an hour later. No way am "paying for service.) Total skank.

Thought to me self are hear yi na what it is just my ****ing luck. Gutted I was.

I just realised that even if I won the lottery, I would barely upgrade my system. I'd get a new GPU, SSD, and probably a 4K monitor. And that's about it. That's how dead the market is.

Edit: Oh, and a new keyboard.
