Topic: The Chit Chat Thread

@Tasuki @RogerRoger @KratosMD Most items I've bought from Amazon I can arrange to delivered at various pick up points nearby, luckily I have a post office at my nearest convenience store which is a minute over the road from where I live. And I go past it every day to and from the bus stop. Stuff from eBay I can collect it from a local Argos (which I hear is closing down which sucks. Or I can get it delivered to work. Anything expensive I tend to time when i have time off work and have it delivered to home.

@DerMeister wow i bet that was brutal, i live in virginia and the heat has been unbearable during the day. My cousin lives in Houston and has told me about the heat in texas. Glad that ur ok! Keep as cool as u can, because the heat is not something to mess around with.

I bet a big part of the global warming is due to 100 millions PS4 overheating worldwide! 😂
@DerMeister How about your diet? I change my habits during the summer and it surely helps! Glad you are fine now.

@andreoni79 according to a survey the British government did years ago it's down to Cow Flatulence

@KratosMD Is there someone you can call, email etc about this. Like your local Post Office or something. It sounds to me like you had two different postal workers delivering the packages and one was just lazier.

@KratosMD pick your battles mate 😂

@KratosMD sounds like you just had a lazy postie

Had to rush my cat back to the vet today. She hasn't been drinking on her own for two days now.

I once had my postman leave a card saying a package had been left with a neighbour but without saying who. Not great when I lived in a block of flats in London. Royal Mail just shrugged their shoulders and wouldn’t pay for what was ultimately lost.

Our current postman had a habit of leaving parcels under our decking at the back of the house. We had to complain that they probably shouldn’t be unlocking our back gate to get in and also once left a perishable package there when it was raining...

@KratosMD The trick is to stay at a place so long that you hate everyone, then leave in a moment of desk flipping glory on some random Tuesday morning.

@KratosMD when i left my last job i never even told anyone i worked with i was leaving, i just left on my last shift said "bye" and that was it i walked out the door and never went back

end on an air of mystery

@KratosMD i worked there 6 years

i don't like nor did i want a fuss, i hate being the center of attention so i just left as quietly as possible

@KratosMD and that is why i never told anyone, i knew if i did they would just want to make a fuss about it and i didn't want that

plus when people throw you a party it's never actually about you, it's about them and them using it an excuse to have a party

@KratosMD Eh, I have some friendships which came from working relationships, and they continue even after you or they have left. As for the rest of them, when you think about it you realise the only thing you have in common is work, even if you really gel well together in the work place you have no connection to them outside of office hours so saying goodbye isn't a problem for me.

@KratosMD Yeah they do that in my work for birthdays, but it is not enforced or anything. They also give you a card on your birthday with messages from everyone. But everyone stands around your desk watches while your boss gives a little speech. It's a bit cringe, as some people are obviously not comfortable with it. Luckily you don't have to that either.

I've learnt over the years not to get that attached to people and work places if I know I'm not gonna be there for long. Works the other way too with people on temp contracts coming and going every few months. It gets easier the more you do it, I got quite emotional when I left my first job but not really been like that since. Of course I've met some cool people over the years struck up good friendships, but I generally find it difficult to keep in touch with people unless i see them regularly.

@KratosMD ive worked at my job for 21 years. Im currently laid off on short term disability, i hurt my back doinf some work for my mother-in-law. Ill probably never be able to go back to work there because its a fastpaced production job. I was a crew leader when i had to leave. As much as i hated it, i will miss it. I think what ill miss the most is how comfortable i felt with my job. It kinda became who i was and now i dont really know what to do. What im saying is, i get what ur feeling.

And so my cat passed over the rainbow bridge this morning just after 10 PST. We suspect that she may have had cancer but we're not 100% sure. Regardless she will be missed and was loved very much.

@Tasuki sorry man, i have a pet that i love, shes a part of our family, so i can imagine how u feel. Condolences bro... 😢

@Tasuki I’m so sorry to hear that. I’m sure you must be very saddened as I know you really loved your cat. Hang in there, my friend.

@Tasuki so sorry man, my Cat is 15 years old and we know her time is near but we still aint ready for her to pass, it's never easy

and about that other thread yesterday i completely understand what your saying but i thought it was important to let them know the rules so they wouldn't try doing it again
