SPAM random annoying things

@Zarjazz I like you, no homo.

That's actually really stupid.

If one person makes one long journey or two people make two journeys of half the length it's exactly equal

What the fuck are you on about? Who moves house every time they move jobs?

Edit, I am quite clearly being facetious too...

While I must be evil for buying cheap crap and throwing it away when I have no use for it (clothes are there to stop me frightening old ladies as far as I am concerned, nothing else) It is nowhere near as damaging to the environment as some other peoples life style choices, long commutes, buying over-packaged junk food etc. Someone getting on the OMGERD THE ENVIRONMENTS! high horse isn't going to stop me doing it.

"£1 on a disposable shirt" - you c*nts are destroying the environment.
"£10 on a belt" - cheap bastards
"£100 on a belt" - posh twats

but I bet if someone said they spent £500 on a graphics card ... "nice one", "good choice", "seems underspeced to me"

I think people should spend their excess disposable income on what makes them happy and what's important to them. My old man doesn't understand some people's spending habits, but will happily pay endless sums for (in my opinion) pointless HiFi stuff.

Long commutes are sometimes a necessity - the point that you refuse to concede for some unknown reason (would it hurt you to?).

I agree with your other two points. Including the over-packaged junk-food.

I just don't get why you take a position and won't budge a inch when it's clearly a bit silly and/or poorly thought through spur-of-the-moment.

Within the Nordics I can get away with smart jeans, top and jacket.... But there is no way in hell that what I wear in the Nordics is remotely ok in Paris / UK. Whether I like it or not there is a dress code for a chartered accountant and if I want to be listened too I have to adhere. I'm not complaining that is just the way it is. Additionally if I am presenting and I do it a lot a very good quality suit and fantabulous shoes give a confidence that is hard to describe (along with a good manicure, leg wax, eye brow shaping, lash dye and hair cut). The amount I spend on 'maintenance' is crazy but I guess quite normal for a girl or chap in my position.

As for moving for a new job.... Generally I do as mine usually involves a change of country although the latest is an addition of a country so no move but a shitload more travel ;/

I put on a suit and tie for a Board meeting last week; my CEO took one look at me and said "why the fuck are you wearing a tie?". I had no answer

 

[dysfunction]

I wish I didn't have to wear a tie.

Our CEO is from the dark ages and thinks it's a good thing to have something useless tied around your neck.

What makes it worse is that the Head Office in the US are relaxed.
No Suits or ties! They just wear smart casual.

 

[TdC]

smart-casual is the way forward. when I'm in ye olde LDN, first thing I see everyone do when there's a meeting or someone's giving a presentation (usually me ffs), is take a pre-tied tie out of their bag and put it on so they can all "look presentable". fuck that tbh.

 

[Edmond]

I've never worn a suit to work, we are very casual at my company

 

[Fweddy]

I'll wear shorts and T-shirt to work in the summer, jeans and T-shirt in the winter. I don't like having to dress so smartly but them's the rules.

 

[Tom]

I haven't worn a tie for about 20 years. Fuck that.

 

[Lakih]

I like wearing a tie. Makes me feel stylish. At work it's 100% casual though, lots of hoodies, t-shirts, and jeans or shorts.

 

[Moriath]

Why is it when you think you have your mind made up other job offers come along at the same time and muddy it again.

Got offered a job yesterday that i am pretty sure i want to take, but then got a job offer today from a different company.

 

[TdC]

it's a luxury problem, but a problem nonetheless. good luck chumlar

Better than no offers! I had the same issue last year, problem was I got the offer I wanted less first, and had to drag that out until the other offer came in, which was over a week in the end, which got a bit messy.

 

[soze]

It took me two years to talk my way out of a tie. Our operations people can wear what they want, sales have to wear suits. Me in IT had to wear a tie because I am customer facing. After two years of pointing out that people on the phone can't see what I am wearing I am now allowed to wear what I want unless I have a customer meeting. I also have to keep a change of clothes in my car. But it does mean today I just wacked a hoody on over my underneath t shirt because I had no ironed polo shirts

Do you even own a suit? (that still fits...)

 

[Hawkwind]

I used to wear a suit every day in my previous uk job for over 12 years. Now at Dir level I only wear one when in a customer meeting. Whilst I like the freedom of wearing whatever to work I do feel more professional when in a suit. Old school I guess, or old fart!

A "fuller figured" lady and gentleman eating the face off each other right in front of me on a packed tube train. It was very warm and they were both a bit ripe, and I couldn't move away. I remember now why I don't miss London

Fucking hell, are we being spammed again by a bot, who the fuck is this guy, don't recognise them

Surprised you remembered the URL!!

Yeah I've never understood how people can munch away on a subway/train full of peeps. The distinct smell of food combined with body odor and cheap perfume isn't that nice. People do rarely eat on subs here in Stockholm aside from the occasional slob.

He means that they were swapping saliva, although I did think this at first.

Noted.

Though rather have people 'kissing' than eating a burger and getting it all over.

They smelled like zombies

You got that close?
