perfect timing ceef. i was writing a long, bespoke, detailed and complicated letter at work earlier, which had to go out today. after spending a couple of hours on it, i'd broken the back of it, but tried to open a large .pdf for more information...and word just closed. not only did the letter disappear (not auto-recovered or anything) but so did some notes i'd made while on the phone about that particular case. looked at some of the online help, which didn't help in the slightest, and, gritting my teeth, started it again, except now with notes only from memory. thus left work at half seven, and the second letter wasn't a patch on the first. if i could punch windows 10 and word in their respective faces, i would. however, i'm just left a bit scrambled and with very tight shoulders. they've been doing this sh*t for quite some years now. cheers for pissing about with the UI and animating paperclips rather than sorting this out.

Feel for you there ARS, a total waste of your time caused by a multi national who dont give a **ck.
The other one is overtyping what you have already typed as the cursor doesnt move along with your typing.
And my missus logs out and when I log on she is still appearing in the users list but as disconnected. When you log off it tells you someone else is logged on. First time round I went and changed all my passwords thinking I'd been hacked... FFS! So may updates since and still not fixed.

The jobless bums round here that are emptying all the f***ing supermarkets and shops in the daytime while mugs like me are out working hard to get by, so that when I CAN get to the shops after work, there's f*** all left. f***ing bone idle magpie tw##s.

My ex works in an electrical shop, talking to my son last night she tells him that they can't get freezers quickly enough to satisfy demand. Their biggest clientele group are retirees mate, in light of recent voting patterns there seems to be a theme developing here. I'm on holiday this week and have had an email from work requesting I work from home next week. To make being virtually housebound palatable I'm just back from the Co-op up the road to stock up on beer. Happily they've got plenty of Robbies bottled ale on the shelves.... no bread, no anadins, definitely no toilet paper (wtaf!), not much milk, etc but b*ll*cks to it, re-writing process and procedural documents with Robbies is better than re-writing process and procedural documents. They may wander from the point occasionally depending on the alcohol consumed but I've reached a point with manufacturing where it's b*ll*cks to that as well!

My phone and it's absolutely diabolical autocorrect system.
I've now corrected my 'magpie' post, along with your own post quoting it Yorks, I hope you don't mind - I just couldn't let those typos slide!

Why the actual f*** is Corbyn still the leader of the opposition? That useless old f*** has done enough damage.

it's like some existential play where jezza still hanging around is the albatross of failure smothering your life.

my brother works in a morrison's. he said yesterday there were about 40 people waiting outside at 7am for it to open when there's normally 5 or so. said a bloke was loudly ranting about all the pasta having gone and saying he hoped that the people who panic-bought it all went home, caught the virus, and died from it. said somebody got the last 4 pack of toilet roll, put it in her trolley, from which somebody liberated it when she next looked round. this is in buxton too, not bogota (pun unintended).
i went to a large morrison's and a large sainsbury's on saturday night (going to two is normal behaviour for me) and there were things wiped out of both and some completely empty aisles. heard a member of staff saying that along with no toilet roll or handwash, there were no beans no rice no pasta. as depeche mode asked: people are people so why should it be, some of them are stupid panickers and some of them are selfish bastards.
been to waitrose today and apart from there only being one type of toilet roll and no paracetamol it looked relatively normal. this element at least will settle down, but only after people have been dicks about it. brexit, bozza, and building yourself a new house out of your excess toilet roll stock.

building yourself a new house out of your excess toilet roll stock. Ah, like some real-life, pre-apocalyptic version of Minecraft, with a firm emphasis on 'mine'?! Pixar rumoured to be working on a sequel - 'Finding Bog Roll'!

The list of tw##s continues to grow: I'd rather not post a link to the Mail website, so I took a screenshot from The Guardian's live news feed instead. Stein is bad enough, but Ramsay's lay-offs just show what an utter tw## he really is.

My employer expecting me to go into work when I'm genuinely fearing for my life.
This is not something I've read or heard anywhere, it's something that's just occurred to me while I've been awake since the early hours with worry.
It wasn't that long ago when people were being forced to choose between the food on their table or the roof over their heads, but now we're being forced to choose between the beat in our hearts or the lids on our coffins.
Extreme? No, it's f***ing not. Because I for one am genuinely f***ing scared sh*tless at the prospect of going into work this Sunday, for an employer that hasn't once clarified its position on self-isolation and whether or not we get paid for it.
This could see someone who has bills and debts to pay off go in work regardless, because they can't afford to stay off, risking passing on the virus to the rest of us - what the f*** is the world coming to?
When I was given my new role after the latest wave of redundancies, I, along with the rest of the 'lucky ones' were told that we have four weeks to decide if the new role is for us, during which time we can walk away and still qualify for redundancy.
I'm two weeks in now and at 51 years old I'm seriously considering it, simply because I like being alive.
Taken from the ACAS website:
"If an employee still does not want to go in, they may be able to arrange with their employer to take the time off as holiday or unpaid leave. The employer does not have to agree to this.
If an employee refuses to attend work without a valid reason, it could result in disciplinary action."
This particular page was updated on Wednesday 25th March - what the f***?
Die or starve? Hmmm, let me think....
