I believe the s(h)itter thread can provide the requisite descriptions in glorious recti-colour.

Also, you could mention that you need to apply a topical ointment solution to your gentials due to excessive chafing, and fear that you may be suffering some kind of overuse syndrome.

I would knock her out, but she's 3 times the size of me and I'm afraid her arse will knock me the fuck out

Good news though, I rung one of my old bosses who now works for one of our main competitors, asked him if he had any jobs going and he said "can you come in for an interview in 2 hours?"
Yes I sure can!

Easy way to deal with micro-managers is to busy them up with crapola. Leave your initiative at the door. Ask him the dumbest fuck questions you can think of while you do your work.

"Hey boss, can you confirm this quote please?"
"Hey boss, can I go to the toilet?"
"Hey boss, can I get some printouts?"
"Hey boss, I think we're out of paper. Can I get some from office supplies?"
"Hey boss, I need some new pens. Can I get some from office supplies?"
"Hey boss, can I go to the toilet?"
"Hey boss, can I fill up my drink bottle?"
"Hey boss, Can I grab my morning tea from the fridge?"
"Hey boss, Can I grab my afternoon tea from the fridge?"
"Hey boss, Can I grab my lunch from the fridge?"
"Hey boss, can I rinse my lunch dishes?"
"Hey boss, Can I go to the toilet?"

I need to go to the loo at least 3 times during the day, and also grabbing food from the fridge and other things. If you and your colleagues manage to ask him 2 questions every hour then his new micro-management technique will fail.

Yeah I did the same with a manager I had wanting me to log time in 10 minute brackets ... I pointed out I'm going to spend more time logging/noting shit down than doing work. So I had to have "breaks" to do logging and updating.

Lasted 3 days before he said fuck this.

ooo yea I'm gonna try my best to do this

I'm also going to try to drink as much coffee and water as possible to not only increase the amount of times I go to the kitchen but also increase the amount of times I need to piss

btw, it feels so good to have a rant

chiquelet · 19th March 2010, 15:25

Hate to break it to you Rangoon, but even 3 year olds at kindy don't have to ask permission to do...anything. Damn, 3 year olds have more freedom than you!

Thomas Meatball · 19th March 2010, 15:38

What the shit? I don't really remember my kindy years, but I know at primary school we had to ask permission to go to the toilet. Are you telling me that primary school kids no longer need to ask for permission to relieve themselves? What the FUCK sort of liberal society are we becoming?

you have to ask for permission to leave your desk though, right?

reason for request: Leaving to work for someone else.

Well the interview went really fucken awesome
I've never felt so good about how an interview went before
So good that I'm already starting to type up my resignation and a list of topics to discuss at my exit interview

That makes me feel happy to read your story Rangoon. Asking for permission to leave a desk is just fucking unbelievable - I literally cannot imagine such a workplace. I hope you get that other job and use your freedom to tell the boss exactly what you thought of her shitty management.

Permission to leave your desk... I just can't get over it, I'm really interested in wondering what kind of work it is!

Vrtigo · 19th March 2010, 19:57

theres a lot of scum places for rent in auckland, and asking a lot of money too. wish there was more choice.

Nightcrawler · 20th March 2010, 03:24

Get an email from Woosh saying we've used 75% of our cap
Check the website meter, and we've used around 37%

Calling it now: Woosh speed limits us with the exact same bug as last month. I distinctly remember having this mystery and invisible 3GB adding on to our usage, which pushed us over our cap. Woosh gave us another 5GB, yet when 3GB was left on that limit, we were speed limited again.. and so on.

Our monthly cap is 5GB, so this percentages above match up with my 3GB theory.
Fuck yeah, Woosh

If he's got a commodore, and lives in Wellington - he'll be fine.

Cripes - a mate of a friend of mine says they don't even look for an indicator stalk during WoF checks !

They check for working indicator lights by using the remote lock/alarm button !

Hey Nightcrawler, did you see that post about the TV that's bust, and how we all started talking about warrantys and the CGA? Check it out, cyc (I think) quoted the act itself - the CGA applies to provision of Internet Access. I think you should look into it, maybe they'll let you break your iron clad contract if you start making threatening legal noises?

p01s0n · 22nd March 2010, 08:20

Nightcrawlers a bitch nigga, so he's probably just gonna whinge like a bitch nigga instead of doing something about it like a non-bitch nigga would do.

I'd check first to see if there is any available DSL slots on your exchange. If I try to change my ISP i'm fucked. To change ISP you have to drop to the back of the list, and theres a 6 month waiting list on my exchange o.O.

What GMG is another employee in a different sector not doing his job and making it hard for everybody in my office complaining to the higher ups because my email outlining his shortcomings was "inappropriate". I was very professional and even said kind regards at the end, hmph! Bring it on Mr Big Suit.

What? You are saying they check it by setting and unsetting the alarm????
Not that I have ever seen or heard

The Google Maps geocoding API Web service.

If I use the v2 API, it ignores the "output=xml" parameter and randomly returns a json response rather than xml.

If I update to the v3 API, changing the request url to the new form that specifies xml output, I get nothing other than "REQUEST DENIED" responses.

fuckers.
