In Topic: What's messing with your groove?

amphibian, on 13 February 2025 - 10:10 PM, said:My person is the way they are because they do not do enough of the fundamentals of coordination or admin stuff to support the tasks they want to take and the projects they want to do. They want the training wheels off and the freedom to do what they want to do, yet they are not able to manage themselves out of a wet paper bag.
We've got one of these in our team. The lack of underpinning fundamentals is paired with a hugely overinflated sense of their own abilities, and then when they don't get given new work or picked for projects they have a heightened sense of victimhood. They are young and quite naive, and my suspicion for a while has been that someone (either at home or another colleague) is winding them up, because for every sensible conversation I or our manager has had with her, the next time we speak she's talking about "government rules" and average salaries for her age bracket with an attitude of how hard done to she is when she's this brilliant. I could be wrong on the someone winding her up part, but that's my hunch.
Also, if I hear "I have a law degree with honours" one more time from her, I may have to scream. We work in IP - it might be law adjacent in a sense, but that law degree is not doing anything like the heavy lifting you're expecting it to. -

Fucking hell...
I gather Greene refused to cover the Neil Gaiman situation in a bid to "keep the channel positive". There's hindsight at play here, but even without that it strikes very oddly considering how much noise he likes to make about just about every other issue. Looks rather more than odd in light of what Naomi King has released.
I didn't make it all the way through the video, but that poor woman. -

Wasn't bought, but my team leader just gave me Bettany Hughes' Seven Wonders of the Ancient World as a thank you gift (she did consult Mr NAB). Been on my wish list for ages. So happy

Is there a number? Sure there is, but at what stage am I just selling our plans for lifestyle down the road bother 2 years in favour of being debt free sooner?
Hope you can come to a decision you're happy with Macros, it sounds like a lot to think about. -

A Tale of Two Cities
Turns out I do like Dickens after all. The prose is beautiful, and occasionally genuinely funny (though I can't tell if it's supposed to be or not.)
