Off Topic What grinds your gears

I think you just can't help yourself DBT

Has Renee returned yet?

 

Same old song…

 

I work for a large organisation and I hear this a lot. Cringe.

 

You should probably Zoom on this one, Den. In the New Normal you may need to Circle Back in order to take a Deep Dive as you Align to this Digital Transformation of Reaching Out.

I picture you as a Thought Leader though, so I'm sure you'll Take Ownership of whatever you choose to do.

 

The word 'holistic'

 

I said Deep Dive in a meeting today. I’ve never been more angry with myself.

 

I'm not normally one to gripe about female commentators, but this Izzy Christiansen is doing my fruit in tonight.
I think she's working to a script on one of them there teleprompters.

 

Granular

 

**** eating **** at work for the last three mornings has had granola for his breakfast

every time he comes in saying granola to the tune of ginola then looks round the room waiting for approving looks or laughter

I’m going to kill him if he does it in morning

 

When you're in a cafe/restaurant and the server instructs you to "Enjoy".

I might enjoy it, i might not, i may be indifferent.

 

The **** who sits on the row behind me who constantly moans for the full 90 minutes that we're not good enough to play out from the back.

 

It occurs to me that every style of football is playing out from the back. Hoofing the ball upfield in the Wimbledon way is still playing out from the back. Only much more quickly than the tippy tappy way we apparently prefer.

 

People on teams calls who say "forward looking lens"

**** off

 

I use most of those on a daily basis. #corporatebitch

 

But Zoom calls are ok?

 

Ant and Dec. Not sure what they're for.

 

**** your teams meeting, and **** teams. Your bullshit teams meeting could have been an email.

 

I did a speed awareness course with Lincolnshire Police a couple of saturdays ago via teams or zoom. Had my laptop on my knee watching a live stream of football and just having to now and again pitch in with an answer to a question.

The first productive online meeting I have ever 'attended'.

 

Renewing car insurance really really pisses me off

got my renewal through
Gone up 150quid
I look on the meerkat and the same company is offering it 150 quid less than my renewal!
I didn’t get to speak to anyone but an hilarious what’s app exchange ensued
Cos the meerkat is fully comp essentials you see sir
Not fully comp comp like your renewal
Ok can you give me the essentials one now then?
No but are you happy I’ve taken off 40 quid?
No
So I have to do it through the meerkat even tho it’s with you?
Yes
I’m not renewing
Go **** yourself
