I’m likely to do that shortly. I’m in an environment with a few toxic colleagues who know fuck all about what needs to be done, or how to do it, but manage to impact decision making and cast doubt on my abilities and deliverables to date. I have had to step outside of my role to deliver multiple big ticket tasks (e.g. I’ve been brought on to uplift code for multiple applications, but have also had to build a MEM deployment from scratch as there was no endpoint management), but no-one has the knowledge or the interest in taking over the finished products, expecting I’ll add it to my responsibilities.

A job is about to open up elsewhere that I’ve been encouraged to apply for, so I’ll keep trudging along and will let them know at my notice period. I’ve tried so hard to get involved with no luck, so now they’ll be forced to take interest.

Our kettle died and I guess we didn’t replace it quick enough for my mother in law, because she showed up with a new one a few days later. Only cost a couple of dollars, but it’s been going strong for the last 6 years.

Well, shit. I just bought it the other day and started with it. Had nfi.

Tonnes of CP.

Told my colleague immediately as he was at the other end of the work bench, then told my manager. They called the cops who told us to leave it alone, then immediately made their way over to confiscate the PC and take a copy of the job booking slip.

Never heard another thing about it after that. We thought we might be called as witnesses or to give statements, but nothing. The cops took a few mins with the PC when they got there, asked us to log into it and then leave the room. We figured they had enough on it and the guy probably admitted it. Never saw the customer again either, and he was a fair bit of a regular.
