Moans and Pet Hates - Part 8

[MalteseFalcon]

It's easier to manage your pills dilli, in a weekly organiser. I did it for my grandmother a few years ago, she used to keep her meds in strips in a bowl, in the cupboard and go through them all in the morning and evening. Now they are all organised, and it's easy for her to just take them all from one section. And she moaned at me when I bought it, I'm not using that she goes. Now wouldn't be without it.

Programmes with options that don't immediately make sense.

I'm using the PCB layout part of a package (Altium P-Cad) and running the design rule checker: Makes sure you're not violating distances between parts of the design like pads vs pads etc.

I got an error report but it wasn't showing me where the errors are. Seems only if I click the check box "annotate errors" will it actually show me where the errors actually are.

Wasted morning.

Split up with my girlfriend, the relationship was very one sided and I was doing all the arranging, plus we weren't seeing much of each other, so we decided to end it. I'll use it as a positive and walk away with my head held high, ready for the next chapter

[weenie]

Hubby been told that there is going to be cuts at his work and not to worry that they hope he will be one of the ones who will be TUPE OUT. Yea good advice we just won't worry at all at this news yea right no time of year is good to hear this but near Christmas is an utter nightmare. I will have to look into exactly what TUPE is.

Has anyone heard of this or been TUPE themselves and if so how did that go for you?

Something I've mentioned in the past but I've got an example this time.

When you look on YouTube for a fix, answer or solution to something, you find what you're looking for however the person narrating or featuring in the clip wastes time with pretty much useless waffle and background about what the problem is, often including a quick demonstration.

if you're on Youtube looking for a solution and you manage to find it then I'd say the chances are you know what the problem is.

I was looking for a way to change the default search in Edge and I came across this:

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GuDBOL42W7g

Obviously good on the guy for offering help but he wastes the first minute telling us what we already know. So you're there needing to skip through the waffle to just get to the answer. In that clip it's just a minute but a lot of the time it's a longer clip and the waffle takes equally longer to get to.

I understand that some of the time people like to demonstrate how knowledgeable they are and therefore need to explain that they understand the problem and didn't just stumble on it etc but I'd say most of us are just looking for (and would appreciate) a simple and straight-to-the-point answer.

Tupe is transfer of your contract to a new company, I think! Good luck with it anyway, acas is always a useful place when you need work related advice

Most of the time it is far easier and quicker to just type what you want to know in Google for something like that which gives you the answer in seconds.

We contacted them on Friday and they emailed us a load of info, we are now in the frame of mind now at least he has a job if and when Tupe does happen anyway hubby is seeing his Union guy on Tuesday and we are going to see our local Councillor on Monday evening. Don't get me wrong we would rather this was not happening but it is what is for us won't go by us.

Hope it works out for you guys.

Thanks Osem.

@ Nash thanks and your right it is very worrying.

My wife found out that not all of our loft is floored by almost falling straight through it.

Luckily no major injuries, just the major headache of repairing it when I'm one of the least DIY'y people about.

[nashville]

Could have been very serious. More Repairs.

[denphone]

The most important thing is no one was hurt as you can repair things buts its harder to repair humans.

As others have said, the main thing is she's OK.

Repairing ceilings neatly isn't easy so, depending on where the damage is, it might be wise to get a professional in and avoid an annoying eyesore, even if you patch the hole (which isn't hard) and they just finish the job.
