General things that Annoy you

Accidentally hitting the Brexit thread.

Is that shit still going?

I didn't let the page refresh quick enough to find out!

1. Picking up my favourite watch from beside my bedside table this morning, and realising that I'd somehow broken it. It's nothing fancy - a £30 Timex Weekender - but I have a bit of a geeky soft spot for watches, and this one has actually been my favourite; I feel naked without it now.

2. Not being able to sleep... again. I've taken a week off to relax, recharge my batteries, and try to clear my head - it's quite possibly been my worst decision in a long time. I always seem to enter a weird state of anxiety whenever I'm not working and have time to relax.

When you go to the uni library and there is a limited number of student PC's and someone has decided instead of sitting on one of the thousands of empty desks designed for laptops, she will stick her laptop in front of the one free computer in the entire building. And will refuse to move the 6 yards onto an empty laptop desk so someone who wants to use the computer can.

Cow.

Ah, the old time-off anxiety spiral, I know it well.

Stage 1: Gradual stress build-up until you need time off (generally over a few months).
Stage 2: Let it get bad enough that you feel you need a week off... or at least a few days
Stage 3: Because your other 20-or-so annual leave days include a couple of weddings, a holiday with your girlfriend/Mrs. that you have to go on so that you're allowed to go away with your mates, a 'lads' long weekend in Prague, and much more - you realise that you've only got one shot at this.
Stage 4: You're on your time off... Relaxing begins, how does 'one' do this? Takes a while to settle in, feel kind of bored but also like you should be doing something.
Stage 5: Worry that you're not relaxing well enough, of efficiently enough. Need to make the most of this.
Stage 6: Start forcing in more "relaxing" activities to relieve the stress, as the stress is going nowhere. No success, obviously.
Stage 7: Hmm, I should start doing all those things that I never get round to doing because I'm too busy normally (dry cleaners, wash car, go to the tip etc. - and before you realise it, this day has become 'chore day')
Stage 8: Oh God, I have to go back to work in a couple of days... really need to 'relax' now, whatever that is.
Stage 9: By now it's futile - 'The Fear' grips your heart and all you can think about is the email build-up and all the work you'll have to do when you go back to work. Because - of course, a week off is no excuse for any kind of 'handover' - it just means twice as much work the week you're back.
Stage 10: AND IT'S GONE. "Relaxation" - see you sometime in 2017.

Fly tipping, rubbish dropping, Pond life.

Stage 11 (+ 12,13, 14) - Crack one off

I hear PornHubs been down for maintenance all day, mate.

I reckon working from home productivity has probably skyrocketed today.

People that walk along the road face timing.

People who let their toddlers stand in shopping trollies while wearing their street shoes.

Crocs I think they are called.

Fortunately the lad was bought a pair by the relatives and he left them in the garden. The foxes chewed them up.

Now he has to push the trolley rather than stand in it.

Just had to print about a 50-page Document at work...

Go to see how its doing and can see that a lot of pages have been printed, decide to stay at the printer rather than come back to collect in a few seconds and the printer decides to stop printing and starts cleaning itself.

Have to wait about 10-minutes for it to stop cleaning and finishing printing... It then processes ONE page and finishes the print.

Why not clean yourself once the whole document has been printed, instead of printing 49-pages and then delaying my day!!

Gotta be a non-work related print job that... Standing by the printer making sure no one sees the 50 Roland Out pamphlets that you'd printed

@KatrienMeireCEOandClubwrecker I've found one of them!
