Evening Evelyn, Ducky 'n' Ditty

There was tights action

Evening Zaphster

feckin Virgin.....

I don't mind that their internet went down....  shit happens...   I DO mind that they didn't have a bloody great banner going over the top of their homepage saying "broadband is down in E.Anglia & the South East"....

cos...  though my bro initially checked their site...   we then spent 2 hours faffing around before, when looking for a phone no. to phone them...  he found.. in teeny teeny writing...  in the bowels of their website a little notice about it.

in the meantime...  I reset my router to factory settings

so... pain in the arse having to reconnect everyone (they are all sooo STOOOOPID)...

plus side.... is I can now get into my router management screen... for the first time in 4 years (cos I had forgotten my previous password!)

so, now when the neighbours all pile on channel 11... I can move!!!

I know... I missed it...

its hard screen dumping the right bits

Woo hoo I can use my kitchen sink again 

Evening all 

Evening Mental


Z.

BT do the same thing

I spent half an hour once trying to find the info I needed. The next time I tried I couldn't find it. It's that complicated.

Evening Menty

What was up with your sink?

Evening Zaph and Ducky.

I had some blocked plumbing and a rather nice young man sorted it out for me

mr ditty is discussing his office politics...    he is part of a team of 3 blokes, then the team leader (woman)... then the manager (woman)... then the big boss (bloke).

Big boss has been giving hubby special projects...    Manager loves hubby for this..   hubby THINKS this is all A OK with the team leader...

(ok... there is alot of other little things that have been said & done)...

I can't seem to make him understand female bitchy politics...  female "threatened in the workplace & therefore do not trust her as far as you can throw her" politics...

Its in his favour that he is oblivious to it all..   he tells me something.. and I get the subtext straight away...   he only see's the surface... and is happily going about his day... in ignorant bliss.

Tis probably the best way.....      but I need him to understand...  

TRUST NO-ONE...   especially a team leader who is only two levels above you, who he is outshining in a big way...    do not trust her with anything!

He'd best start right now and find a secluded spot in the woods now and start digging a big 'team leader' sized hole in preparation  

I concur Ditty.... trust no one!!! - she will be looking for ways to drop him in it to redress the balance and restore the natural order of things... does he not know this?

Evening in here xxxxx


Have just spent a funny hour re-reading the Easterbunny Murder Mystery we did on MM!! Have been getting on with my Vi book, went back for a re cap and got sidetracked in a massive way!!! Can't believe it was over a year a go....I still have my cocktail hunting list....how sad am I??!!


Apologies to those that the above meant nowt to xx

Evening MrsB


Z.

Poor Mr Ditty.....mebbe you should go and 'warn' her Ditty.....slap her with your udders


Sometimes mens ignorance of the female ways is a good thing....sometimes it isn't....

no...  he is completely oblivious! 

I have managed to get him to take on board a "watch your back" attitude.

Best thing he can do to avoid permanently looking over his shoulders it to feed her some fab idea that she can tell the manager is her idea.. she gets browny points and has a quiet debt to hubby...sorted


Z.

No udder slapping then Z??

she's fecking scary MrsB...   

she is a caricature of the female public sector low..low..low management/supervisor level.

butch, in a non intentional way...    and really crap at her job.

she gossips!!   she tells the others about stuff said in appraisals!   and her and the manager ... both gossip & bitch about each other...     twice hubby has been the recipient of this bitching...  but he just sits there and says nothing (usually quite shocked at the indiscretion of it)...  

he's lucky he's a bloke...  he can get away with it!

Awww the good old days.

ha ha ha

too late for that...  

big boss loves hubby...    he now goes to hubby for info if he goes into their office... and twice has strolled in... up to hubby... asked him to look into something for him...   write a report on it and attend a meeting with him to present the findings!

the good news is...   manager is high enough above hubby to be able to get glory from his achievements...    its the team leader that I KNOW he has to be careful about...    he just doesn't see it!

I lack the requisite er.. facilities MrsB


Z.

So big boss doesn't respect the conventional 'chain of command' then...bypassing the team leader won't bring a smile to her face


Z.

hello

I used to do that too  

Evening shack dwellers

Evening Lockes & Saz

Hellooooooooooo Saz xxxx

Hellooooooooooo Lockes xxxxx

I'm probably like that I'm not used to working with wimmin

tbh...    there isn't really much need for a team leader....    her job desc is flimsy... and she knows it.

the big boss has always managed to justify going to hubby... cos the issues are in hubbies "area"...  

its making my head hurt talking about it all with him though...  too many bad memories for me.

(and... lines of accountability are good and should nearly always be upheld...   as long as the line goes from the right bit to the right bit .    My mare job in the NHS...   I had to answer to two thick lines of accountability & three dotted lines...    and none of them liked each other!)

I hate it!

I will never ever work for another woman boss.... ever!

I don't like working with women either...well not the ones I used to work with anyway....some of then were bliddy awful......us women make better friends than workmates.....IMO!!!!!!

 Who said that

I don't understand how anyone can support/condone wimmin bosses behaviour.

The only thing is Ducky.....I am in full on Vi mode today....and need to calm her down cos I'm not sure the mods here would appreciate outlook on life and stuff!!!! It was brilliant just wandering around MM though....some funny stuff over there!!!
