If you can do your job in those hours logically you could do the same in the office and look busy the rest of the time, so what's the difference apart from appearances? Seems there's not enough work or you're very good at your job He spends the rest of the time in the office working on his socialisation skills. The intern/junior seems to have disappeared. Oh he's still here the little rat. He's just come back from paternity leave, somehow he is capable of procreation despite looking like the sperm that spawned him gave up halfway through and decided that the genetic code for muscle structure was better used on the code for unwarranted arrogance.
His attitude is better than it was because he's been "talked to" by both my boss and her boss and has been assigned a mentor to keep an eye on him.
For some reason I was not chosen as his mentor.

My commute is 25 minutes on some traffic-light back roads through rural England, and I'd sack even that off right fast if I could, its just wasted time. Two and half hours is a fucking joke. I'm generally an easy going guy*, but that would drive a saint to murder. I have a job that I could work from home 4 out of every 5 days, but where I work is backward as fuck and also very, very paranoid**, so there is zero chance of that ever happening. * I absolutely am not. ** and rightly so, theres no way I'd do full hours at home. I'd be up at 10 am at the earliest , 2 hour lunch, stop at 3 pm and most of that "clocked on" time would be spent on the PS4 anyway. If you can do your job in those hours logically you could do the same in the office and look busy the rest of the time, so what's the difference apart from appearances?

Hell of a wall of text there from Melvazord. I feel like I was there, peering through his living room window. Haha good one *locks doors* |

Morning! Thanks Melvazord for the Bee lesson. Though I do still think it's better to save it with junk food rather than let it die. There's not many left after all! . Drones don't last very long anyway, this time of year maybe a month or so. At best, its his last meal in which he will drown in (the dream)
GRANS TIRAMISU: Grp 4 race at Suzuka. I qualified 3rd, but some lad dropped out just before the race started upgrading me to 2nd. Well dear reader I thought I was on for the win here. On the 1st lap going through the S curves I was faster than the chap in front, and accelerating into the Dunlop curve I was right on him. Sadly, going through Degner curve and into turn 9, some bellend with a shite connection glitched out of nowhere and punted me wide. This put me down to 5th, and with only a 4 lap race I thought I was out of it. Over the remainder of the first lap I passed 4th and 3rd, and going into the Dunlop curve for the second time, the guy in front of me overcooked it and went off, promoting me back into 2nd place. 1st place was 3 second ahead but I made this up easily through the rest of the lap and was right on him as we went into the S cruves on the 3rd lap. Again I was much faster than he was and I passed him accelerating up the hill at Dunlop. With a lap and 3/4 to go I was in a good place. Through Degner and turns 9 and 10 the guy was right with me, and as we went through the hairpin I went a little wide and onto the grass. Luckily I kept it together and kept going, but sadly I went back to second and gave him another 3 or 4 seconds. With 1 lap to go I managed to catch right back up to him but only as we went through Casio for the last time and theres no way past there unless you've caught them on the main straight and dive down the right, but it was not to be.
I had to settle for second and was fairly annoyed that, as usual, had I not been punted wide, or made that mistake at the chicane I would almost certainly have won.
Back to you in the studio David.
TL;DR: I'm fast, but I also suck.

I once saw Aphex Twin play in Dublin and he performed his entire set out of a wendy house in the middle of the stage. Cobblers and Aphex Twin both work in tents? Can't be a coincidence. And cobblers has a face like one of the kids from Come to Daddy! It all makes sense now! |

I was not complicit in the death of the bee, let me clearly state that. The bee was found being very slow on the boy's emptied water table. The next day, he was a gonna. I thought a drop of honey normally perks them right up when they're like that? Or, sugar water if you don't have any honey in. In other words, through inaction, you were complicit. Monster. You should never give a bee sugar water. Its the insect equivalent of a standard chatterboxer diet (ie crisp sandwich, chip butty and a scotch pie for breakfast, washed down with a can of warm stella).
It tricks the poor bee into thinking there is food available and he will go back to the hive and tell the others where to get said food. And theres no food. Theres the bee version of a late night kebab. Sure they want the kebab, but its doing them no good, theres zero nutritional content.
You're giving them dieabeetes.

I'll certainly spare a thought for him. Is the thought that he should be shot as an incompetent and a traitor a sufficient one? |

Cobblers should have had his review by now. £5 says he’s clearing his desk right now. and moving into his boss's old office. Is "the tent farthest from the main road that doesn't have a hole in the roof" technically an office? |

Dr Strange...fucking hell, I knew you were a feeble minded child but Dr Strange?! Fucking hell..
Hi!
Games: no! Outlaws: Yes! Weekend: Wasted!
As in you didn’t do anything or that’s how you spent it? Wasted as in the outlaws are utter timesinks and all they want to do is sit around in the living room not doing anything. We could literally facetime them and have the same effect as them travelling 5 hours down the road and sucking up my free time.
Once they were gone, THEN I got wasted, so its a little from column A and a little from Column B.
Just like the gear I got wasted on.

Hang on, square sausage? By the beard of Zeus! What tomfoolery is this? And aye, before you say, we know it's not Square but saying a trapezoidal sausage makes you sounds like a wank.  |

Not had square Sausage in about 20 yrs probably. It gets called slice in Greenock. Onion slice is the best slice. Especially when you use it for stovies. Sadly, the only place to get a Lorne slice in this uncivilised country down south is by going to the M&S in town. A land of barbarians. Edit: I'm aware I can make my own, but where's the fun in that? We live close to Corby (too close) and what with it being full of plastic Scots you can get Lorne and a proper haggis nae bother. The Asda there, instead of a foreign foods aisle, has, no word of a lie, a Scottish food aisle. It's weird and unsettling for some reason. |

I've logged back in just in time. Square sausage and stovies chat, lovely stuff.
The outlaws are down to ruin my weekend. They've paid the tax to enter the house, two massive bags of Glaswegian pakora. The pakora you get in England is, quite frankly, fucking pish.
Games:none, unless being embarrassed by the frequent bickering in public of your wife and her parents like she was 14* again is a game.
*She isn't 14. Nor is she a Thai bride or imaginary you bastards, she is a real woman.**
** She is also not a cardboard Boba Fett standup with a blonde wig attached...as far as you are aware.

quite nice on the internet Felice there, not realising Chatterbox is part of the internet. Oh, is this what they mean by the phrase "dark web"? Or is that just spider racism? |

Thunder and lightning strike the country, No Man's Sky has been fixed against all the odds, a bloody moon rises tonight and the dead, i.e. Melvazord, have returned. It's the end times. ...but not a drop of rain here, and, according to the BBC not until tonight when the rain is going to start spoiling my weekend. Bastard rain. As I said, I atent dead. The best description I think would be "differently alive" |

Contrary to popular opinion and hopes I am still not dead.
Unlike your face.
Hi!
I have played all the games. Still getting my face melted by 9 year olds on Fortnite. Still getting fucked off with people who can't drive on Gran Turismo (whats that, I'm one of them? How cruel and accurate. Weep.). Downloaded the new DLC for No man's Sky, its apparently all new and better and please stop sending us death threats., but haven't played much of it.
Sleep: NO! |

At the UK boardgames expo in Brum. Not going to lie, I am still shitfaced after last night's pub crawl.
We're also in a hotel that's under a busy flight path, so that's been "fun"
Games: played Village Attacks, in which you play the monsters fighting off villagers. Great game, would have been more fun if the Two randoms we ended up playing with hadn't been bellends. Fucking gamers, bunch of twats.
Today I will mostly be resisting the urge to buy more games and trying to keep the guys I'm with from shattering into a thousand shards. Lightweights.
