The Government suggesting that Radio NZ Concert should get commercial sponsorship really fuckin' grinds my gears.

Was in the bus that "side-swiped" the car this morning; was actually a very minor incident involving a bit of paint scraping onto the side of the car when the bus got a little too close during merging (obviously not like a zip)..

Stroppy biatch, rather than just report it to the bus company and move on had to get a patrol car to come, lights blazing through near still traffic in order to stop the bus, holding up traffic even more, just to have a little chat with the bus driver.

Though I was surprised by how hot the policewoman that came was! so one silver lining I guess

In the second incident, a police staffer driving to work was "sideswiped" by a bus, the spokesman said. No one was injured but the bus driver did not stop and police would be wanting him to "answer a few questions".

Hang the fucker.

I got some splash back recently and after 20 years of tee pee in the bowl before unleashing hell, it still happens on that rare occasion. RIGHT UP THE STINKER, TOO! BULLS EYE!

Weatherwatch analyst Philip Duncan said Auckland was the hottest centre yesterday with a temperature of 28C and a humidex, or "feels like", temperature of 35C.

In Whangarei, the humidex was 32C and in eastern Coromandel and Waikato it was around 33C.

Bugger is when the first bomb just tears a blast hole through your neatly layed TP, then the follow ups just go straight into the drink with a nice bidet splash to wet your loins.

Worse when you sat down with a full bladder - so it is not just water splashing you scrotum & arse.

Seriously. Buses are pushy bastards that hit cars way too often, and getting the company to actually admit that it was one of their buses that caused the damage is fairly difficult from what I've heard (even though its pretty obvious who the big yellow thing with Go Wellington all over it belongs to).

Uh, no, they did the correct thing: If you're in an accident, no matter how minor, you're obliged to check and ensure no-one is endangered and exchange details for addressing any damages. The traffic delay is the fault of the bus driver for not stopping.

Also the cops may establish blame and charge the negligent driver - this will help the non-negligent driver on their insurance claim.

Boss: but if it said .jpg then how would client know
Me: err, wont work - its still a png.
Boss: I just tried renaming a .png to .jpg and it seemed to work ok.
Me: yea, but its still a png internally.
Boss: perhaps. how about we send them one to test (ie. take an existing png, rename and ask then to verify)

please save me from this fucking nightmare

Jodi · 18th February 2010, 13:16

Ask the boss what he actually wants to do?

Oh, you want to send them a picture of a recipe you photographed off your computer off the net? Here, let me just forward them the link to the website instead?

Vrtigo · 18th February 2010, 13:40

nah, its more complicated than that unfortunately, we were just brainstorming when that gem came up

Lightspeed · 18th February 2010, 13:41

My response would have been "You... you want to see if we can trick our customer into thinking we've done work that we haven't?"

Does the file actually have to be a JPG file? If so then why not just convert the PNG file to a JPG? Surely this isn't a difficult task?

Boss = fuckin' idiot?

This for truth.

This also. Doesn't help when vrtigo is also an idiot and you get two idiots knocking their heads together.

Lightspeed · 18th February 2010, 14:33

Indeed. I guess a better response than my original would be "It'll take 5 minutes to convert the file to .jpg, why don't we just do that instead of trying to trick the customer because we're too lazy to do what we're paid for?"

Yes you're right, I guess I was just peeved at spending longer than usual on a hot bus next to someone taking up too much room!

Yeah, but then you'd be up close & personal with a hot police chick as she's "arresting" you. Either you get away with it, or you get a much better look at her: Win-Win!
