Grumpy Friday: the boy is going out to a local pub with some mates. A couple of said mates have come in to "chill" before they head out.
They're both fucking know-it-all little fluffybunnies. I refuse to engage with them.
The ironing coming to the fern...

This is one of your best posts.
……having met you I can actually picture you sitting on the couch with your arms crossed looking away from them.
I bet you didn’t even offer them a beer you old curmudgeon

When you get home from work and go to get a beer and some inconsiderate bastard has left the drinks fridge door open and the temperature reads “not fucking cold anymore”
Have a water. It tastes the same as asahi anyway

End of year conversation with the boss yesterday. Some Senior managers - who I barely interact with - saw me having a grumpy day or two, so they wanted to give me an adverse performance review.
My boss said "no" to his credit, as the work I produce is top notch - which nobody disputes. But it came with a warning.
I've figured out I'm just a grumpy old man who has been at the same place for 17 years, and need a change. After all, the top notch work I'm producing to help them drive change is not being used by them to drive change, which is extremely frustrating.
Haven't touched my CV since 2015. Yeesh.

I was thinking about that the other day.. I've never written one
I don't think I actually used it for the last job in 2017
that was an internal shift tho after I hit Long Service.It was updated in 2015 because I was sick of the performance appraisal bullshit nailing me on minor incidents. I call it "band camping" as in "This one time at band camp..."
Haven't actually had to look for work since before my teenage daughter was born.
I half-hooked with our digital partner company that the grass looked greener over there. They got serious and said "we'd love to have you".

I remember. You posted in some precursor of the GOM thread.
Definitely sounds like a change is overdue.

Noice! Yeah last time I wrote one was in 2007 and it was for a job I'd already been invited to interview for. I can't even figure out LinkedIn.

If it really reads that, that is an awesome piece of human computer interaction!

If you are that grumpy maybe you could move to being a software tester?
