What made you happy today?

[pete]

An old man was eating in a truck stop when three rough-looking bikers walked in.

As they passed the old man, the first biker pushed his cigarette into the old man's pie, then laughed and took a seat at the counter.

The second biker picked up the old man's milk and spit into it. The third biker turned over the old man's plate before joining the others at the counter.

Without saying a word to the laughing bikers, the old man put his money down, got up, and left the diner. One of the bikers said to the waitress, "Not much of a man, was he?"

The waitress replied," Not much of a truck driver either. He just backed his big rig over three motorcycles!"

Just reminds me of an old friend who has sadly passed now, he used to order a takeaway to be delivered to his home from the Indian restaurant which was across the road from the pub. on leaving the pub at closing time he would walk across to the Indian  to get a lift home with his takeaway 😅

How are you with these? Apparently some people are having problems getting the size correct.

Mine would be worn out before the race

I pick it up on Thursday! Go the collection date moved forwards.

Yippee! Can't wait. I was left to go alone on my test drive and it was quite enjoyable.

ULEZ exemption granted on Elise S1. 

A shame TFL won't correct their database for all Elise S1 but commuting again in the S1 will be a pleasure

Just as a follow-up to my unhappy YouTube ads

Firefox and uBlock Origin still works

Finally (after 18 months) made it up to the top pay grade at work! Yippee, more money for the Esprit 🥳

[Rambo]

More money = more taxes = more hassle from senior bosses = more demands from SWMBO.

Never worth it imo.

[Gjk]

Yes tax goes up. I hassle the senior bosses more than the other way round - the whole industry I now work in needs a serious wake up call! SWMBO is cool at the moment as long as I meet the social events I have been booked in for!

[C8RKH]

I couldn't agree more @Rambo.

I'm living my best life earning the least amount of money I have in 30 years.

I no longer manage (read wet nurse, marriage/relationship counsellor, snowflake ego massager, woke babysitter, etc.) people and I choose what work I do, when I do it, who for it, and my day rate. I've never felt so liberated and that is after being PAYE for 41 years of my 56 years on the planet!

[Gjk]

Wow! Didn’t think I’d get the rug pulled from beneath my feet!

[Rambo]

I've always turned down more money and my life has been the richer for it.

PS sorry to be a party pooper.

[Gjk]

I think we must work in very different industries.

[Bibs]

Well done!

Lol, we're not pulling your rug, we're pleased for you, honest. But we're sharing our experience too! Mine is recent experience, but I think @Rambo was a faster learner than me!

I work in IT, have done since 1985. The sector that has promised so much and delivered so little lol...

Not faster, just more of a sceptic 🤣

I think I’ve just found an old photo of you, from your early days.

That is very much my thinking about IT, although when I mention it to IT people I get told that it is only the case because others just received what they asked for, it’s just because they couldn’t specify what they wanted correctly. 
Me response usually begins with bull…. 🙄

[Gjk]

Within the aeronautical industry there is very little time for bullshite, it has to be done right first time around or the sh@t hits the fan.

Your response is spot on Paul.  IT are quick to blame "users" who did not know what they wanted, but, the Industry, and associated professions, have now been around for over 60 years and it is high time IT (or Tech as it seems to be called these days) people started to hold themselves accountable for what they have delivered. Many times, better IT people would have worked more closely with the users to ensure these "problems" were not encountered.

IT suppliers (let me take one, Fujitsu - or I can say is look up the debacles that were the IT Post Office system (people killed themselves over that, literally!) and the NHS SPINE system. Both monumental cockups costing hundreds of millions. A combination of arrogance and incompetence on the side of IT created those messes, both from the supplier and the users.

Procurement, who continue to buy "cheap" when they know it will almost always cost them three times the price as a consequence (Norwich council and Oracle HR anyone?) should be tarred and feathered for incompetence.

Don't get me wrong. IT has given me a fantastic career and life. It's taken we all over the world and been very good to me financially. But these days, the number of just sheer and utter muppets that exist in and around Tech just kills me. I used to proud to work in Tech, but these days, I prefer not to say what I do....

Best not talk about ATC systems then. Or the bugs in the Boeing (or was it the Airbus?) fly by wire systems and sensors.....
