Things that piss you off...

Whoops, forgot the :)

I can't be offended because I'm too dumb to get the reference. Nice picture but a bit vague for me. Sorry, good effort though.

Edit: Guess 1 & 2 - is it a Don Quixote or High Horse reference?

Fudge yeah, I'm in the clear!

The swear checker. There are better words to use as a substitute.

You are one of the chosen

referencing yr avatar. humorously.

I see the resemblance. My avatar is a screenshot from the new Star Wars movie. Directed by JJ Abrams, screenplay by George RR Martin. Be ready for some Stormtrooper penis.

Having to collect a sample of my diarrhea to take to the path lab. 

Well that just killed my hunger pangs.

Glad I could be of assistance. No need to thank me, just pay it forward

Being made redundant.

Just before xmas.

Finishing end of January.

When there's bugger all/no jobs around.

That's a f*cker. All the best mate, something will come up it always does.

That sucks. Like the owners want to say Merry Fudgeen Christmas, hope they have a crap one in response.

Hang in there dude

Being made redundant one week from Xmas.

Edit: Fudge me just seen your post Surge. It's horrid isn't it?

If my boss did that to me at this time of year and then had the cheek to say Merry Christmas,  i think I'd hit him. They could hold off till February and let people try and recover financially from Christmas.

where I work they "exited" 3 senior managers a couple of weeks ago, on the morning of the Christmas party. Escorted from the building (in front of everyone), never to be seen again. It is pretty ruthless everywhere these days.

Is there ever a good time to be made redundant?

I knew a guy who was let go the morning he came back from his xmas holiday.

For me if you have to go at this time of year i would choose the beginning of december.

Hope you guys sort something out.Good luck.

I hear that is fairly common practice in the USA and appears to be spreading around the rest of the western world. Shocking way to treat people.

Thanks everyone... it's been a godsend in a way. I've become a little stale and have decided to look for a bit of a career change after ten years of doing training and development stuff and get back to what I'm passionate about - so if anyone is looking for an ops/service/business development manager, give me a shout :-)

I'm determined to make it work for me (boom-tish), and it will... onwards and up-ways!

 I agree, It's a shocking way to treat people, problem is corporate organisations don't employ people, you are headcount, bio-resources, or any other jargon created to justify treating people badly. Sometimes I feel sorry for the people who have to make these lay-offs, then I remember HR is where the soulless C*%ts end up working.

Sigh, I think I have spent too much time reading Dilbert and listening to public servants complain about their jobs.

Good on you mate, all the best. 

That totally sux for both of you guys. All the best finding something a lot better!

Surge try for a job at the Nix, they seem to be lacking in your expertese.

Seriously, this absolutely sucks for both of you. If you are going to do layoffs why not time it for the financial year? July.

In America they pull this shark then wonder why someone goes back a few weeks later armed to the gunnels and shoots up the place.

My fingers are crossed for both of you. A crap position to be in right now.

Flixter. i reported a problem, they signed off the fault without even. Onsulting with me, the fault still exists, they asked me to fill in their customer survey about their service. Which you can imagine, was full of negative feedback and as I promised them, i will give them some more negative publicity on the message boards i partake in.

Now they have asked me to create a new fault report for them. Great public relations.

Car got nicked from our driveway this morn......main hassle is we were going on holiday Monday morning.....although might have the use of a lend.....(second part of this post in things that rule!)

The price of donuts at the stadium going up!

$6 now?  Outrageous.

This will put people off coming to games (along with EPL club rivalries).

Boo! But also mmmmmm *drool*

I swear they could put the price up to $20 and I'd still part with my money they just smell so good!

$6 for a donut? 

Wow, for $6 id expect to get the donut and the hole as well

Chant of the day for me was whilst everyone else was busy shouting "Yellow Army" a brilliant man behind me was instead of calling "Ernie Merricks", was calling "Donuts for sale"...he then followed it up with "Ricki Herberts". I want to buy him a beer next Sunday because the man in Aisle 22 Row BB Seat 104 (?) is a legend and extremely funny. Nice to have met you.

Sorry this isn't a pissed off thread but....it was funny as at the time.

Everytime I hear Ernie Merrick's Yellow Army it morphs into Ricki Herbert's YA.

Ahem, some of us sort of did that for a laugh last night

That was Don

Nice!

I always think of it as RH, so as a result I only do the YA part.

Fresh Prince GIFs

Then he did it in all sorts of diffeent tones which made it funnier.
