The Thread Of Randomness

[Redirect Left]

London saw an odd spate of crime yesterday.

Prime material for the other thread I guess.

I thought that'd come up

if it makes anyone feel better, the attacks aren't in tourist areas, and are currentlly being blamed on a rise in gang crimes and arguing within drug dealers.

edit: Two more have been stabbed in Croydon today; http://metro.co.uk/2018/04/06/two-teena ... e-7447447/

As long as your not selling coke on someone elses turf, or another gang members girlfriend, you'll probably be right.

When I got the call, I knew the interview was only a formality...

I got kicked out of a Bookstore because I moved all the Bibles and religions related stuff to the Fictional section.

How Rude of them.

They don't want their job as a bookkeeper stolen by a bystander.

Why would I possibly sell coke on someone else's girlfriend?

Nyotaimori, just for drug deals ... that's innovative.

The rankings are based off your post count. To become a "Traffic Manager", you would need 128 posts. This is directly related to the TTD Company rating system, so you would need 960 posts before you reach the top rank of "Tycoon".

I'll eventually Get there soon.


BTW , Crusader Kings II have been free for the last days , have anyone grap it before the deal end? I did and it's pretty much like someone's giving you free golds because the game's guuuud!.

Crusader Kings II is delicious, however I prefer Europa Universalis IV. Check it out!

I've had this interesting PS/2 mouse laying around for months, finally plugged it in, restarted my PC, and started using it. It's not exactly ideal for 1080p, or comfort, but it's fun to play around with. Three buttons, left mouse on the left (of course), middle mouse button is at the bottom, and right on the right. It even has old LEDs under the ball that shine green, and turn red when clicking.

Thought I'd splash out and get the 4K UHD Blu-Ray version of Star Wars: The Last Jedi. Arrived yesterday, so I stick it in my Xbox One S and... nothing. It's the only UHD disc I've got (and the only UHD player I've got) so it's not like I can try another one. Apparently it's quite a common problem, and if I try it lots and lots of times it might just work.

As some of you may know. I volunteer at a rail station.
Today, I was told one of the staff had filed a grievance against me.

A few week ago, whilst there was a strike on, that affected the drivers, conductors and cleaners (for some reason, i don't know why they got involved). The station got pretty messy, so I helped myself to a set of rubbish bags, totally cleaned up the station, litter picking, emptied full bins and generally improved the stations appearance. It gets pretty messy after even a few hours of cleaners doing jack all. I did it all in the correct manner, and put on a hi-vis with the logo for the volunteer group. I in no way appeared or attempted to come across as an actual cleaner, just wearing my normal volunteer uniform.

Apparently one of them was super offended that I demonstrated their job could be taken over and done almost as well by someone who isn't paid and doing it out of concern for the passengers opinion of the company who runs the station, which isn't even the one that took part in the main strike action.

That'll be a fun meeting next time i'm in. Got called up about it this evening, shall be given a meeting with someone from the company soon. Hopefully its for sake of appearances due to it being an official complaint, rather than anything serious.

Fingers crossed you don't get fired

In the Netherlands, a company can get in trouble if there is a strike and hires other people to do the work (strike breaking). Not sure how it is where you live, but you might get something of a warning (although I don't expect any consequences).

I wasn't 'hired' to do anything. I just happened to be there on normal volunteer stuff, saw the state and decided to use some spare time to clean up the place.

... whilst there was a strike on, ... their job could be taken over and done almost as well by someone who isn't paid ...

Seems pretty clear why a complaint would be made to me - this is pretty much the whole point of a strike.

Probably not a smart move, especially if you felt so threatened by the volunteer doing your job for £0.00 per annum that you wanted to file a complaint. To me that shows you're not very confident in your self worth to the job or company.

I've also never thought of deciding to up to my tools over a fence and be as inconvenient as possible to everyone else, and i still do it for free without that

How does that work ? Do you just come in at some odd time or something ?

But yeah, given the common occurence of "volunteers" at british stations, it just shows their complacency. Heck, if I'm a regular user, I won't mind helping some things clean (though probably not emptying the larger cans.)
