Those who work in glass offices shouldn't throw complaints.

well i am just slow on the whole doing things. was hearing a grinding noise saturday, went o use the car ons unday and "clank" pad falls off. melted through

Wow. Ok, so not your mechanics fault.

50-50 got it serviced two months ago they said the brakes would need replacing at my next service or after 10000 miles. 2000 miles later it fell off.

only reason i heard the noise was because it was good weather and i opened the car window.

I need a top hat....and I don't have one.

How strange, my program had about an equal ratio (among students though, not faculty)

I would very much like to know how to copy phone numbers from a regular cell to iPhone. Someone has decided it was not necessary to include a complete and comprehensive MANUAL with the damn thing. So I've spent 2 hours tying to figure it out and still nothing. I'm almost pissed of enough to smash it against a wall.
Ahhhh, fuck this new technology, the phone ain't worth the trouble. I mean what the fuck am I supposed to do with this "stocks" or "weather" icons anyhow?

[stone monkey]

I start a new job on Monday, it's still in the same department of the Civil Service and actually still in the same building as I work in now; but it is a huge departure from what I do now (but at the same grade, dammit; no extra cash), so I'm feeling a fair bit of trepidation about the whole thing. I mean, I hate what I do now and it was my choice to apply for this new position, but what if I hate it even more; or worse, turn out to be completely crap at it (I'm terrifyingly good at my present job) And I'm also leaving a team which is uniformly ace, not a bad soul amongst them.

Change. I fear it.

Why are you tasting your pen?

What's messing with my groove is all the TV shows going on their season hiatus. Oh, and Sarah Connor Chronicles was cancelled...bit late with the last bit but still.

ah the civil service is the same whereever you are, no worry there

[stone monkey]

Not really. Where I'm going I'll be surrounded by the worst kind of Civil Servant; ambitious ones. One of the most damning things one can say, in my department at least, about a colleague is that he/she "wants to get ahead" These people are never any good at their actual jobs and have a tendency to screw things up and then leave it to us competent people to fix, whilst they gad about doing pointless things to get themselves noticed by the bosses. And given what we do, that's a recipe for really messiing up people's lives.

Argh I'm on new medications and they're really messing up my sleep cycle. I'm not tired at all yet, and it's 6 a.m.

I WANT TO GO TO SLEEP!

Is the civil service the same as other such organisations, where they keep promoting people until they can find a job they can't do?

The whole world works on the Peter Principle, doesn't it?

Good luck SM!

It's alive and well and operating at maximum stretch in the UK Civil Service...

What's messing with my groove is that I have a friend going through a crazy rough time, but I really don't know how to help her out. It's one of those, 'she has to learn to help herself' scenarios, and it sucks.
