OPEN BAR: Tough on bars, tough on the causes of bars

[Cain]

Episode 10 with microphone malfunction hype.

[Trivial]

Has anyone ever stumbled upon a co-worker living at the office?  I mean an office-office, not a home based thing.

Never a coworker, but I have known it to happen. Usually temporarily.

The man is 67 years old, apparently this has been going on for a few months now according to other people.  I'm a bit torn, it's not my business, but there's something probably going wrong here. 

He added me to facebook a couple days ago and it's filled with drama, so I'm not certain I want any of that.

Unless you are prepared to really get terribly involved I think you should let it be.  Involving higher ups or authorities will just result in the poor guy being homeless and blaming you.

Yeah that's mostly what I'm thinking.  I'd say he's a smart guy and can figure it out, but he's also up there in age and might be losing some reasoning skills.  Facebook drama kinda points to that.

I'm surprised the company hasn't pushed him out yet, they did a mass "hey you need to retire - now" thing thing last year.

[The Wizard Joseph]

So I'm not caught up on the thread just yet and haven't really checked much else here for a bit, but I'm going to be back at it @PD more regularly pretty soon.

Posting because FB showed me a comment Cain made on an article about Trump supporters and while I read the article a joke occurred to me and I want only the elite folk here to hear it. It's a bit too obscure for most of FB anyway.

What sound does an Authoritarian Chicken make??

It goes, "cuck-cuck-cuck-ba-Koch."(alternatively ba-cock)

Oh yeah, runnnnnnnn.

[Cain]

Well, it looks like I got promoted.

An extra few thousand pounds and all the bullshit I can swallow await.

[LMNO]

Do you now have REAL ULTIMATE POWER?

[Cain]

As the man said listening to libertarians recounting how America was a revolution away from statism and feudalism:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

No.

I act as a fig leaf for their incompetence, another layer of bureaucracy to shield them from direct involvement in the building.  Apparently they want to make this role "more managerial" than it was previously, whatever the fuck that means, but I suspect I'll just be doing what I do now, only with more cash.

[Vent/Nostalgia] Moving back to Ireland on Saturday. I regret not having done more in the UK in the last year and a half... I've been into London exactly four times (got to see a couple of musicals), and got up to Edinburgh, Oxford and the lake district which was nice, but overall the last year and a half of my life has been consumed by work, which is something I've got to fix.
I'm going to miss Chelmsford, as it was a really pretty place and the weather is so much better then back home.

10-hour journey on Saturday, between driving and ferry's.

[Cain]

To be honest, you probably got lucky there.

London does have many fine museums, art galleries and hotels with excellent dining facilities...but aside from that, I wouldn't recommend it.

That... seemed to be the case. We got to the British Meseum and it was beautiful, you could almost spend a day on each section. The natural history Museum was cool too but was too overrun with kids. I want to come over again though to comic con, because the way things worked out I ended up missing it twice.

In the US a "promotion" often means you get paid effectively the same but they change your job title and heap on more responsibilities.

My tech job is doing the same thing to me. Except there's nothing to do here except get into bar fights with sports bros, street race shit cars, and build raspberry pi drones loaded with Kali Linux.

Good luck with the move!

They tried that here with me, too, last month when the redundancies started rolling in.  I said no dice.
