Had an after work emergency call out to a water treatment plant down the country. Was there about an hour and was testing circuits in one building a few minutes walk up the top of the site. I drive down to check the fire alarm panel to see if I'd cleared the fault and the local council workers had locked up and went home. Leaving half their site unprotected until I can back tomorrow morning. Arseholes

About to start on a new project in Australia but now that's unlikely

Fucking plebs

In previous jobs I'd very often be either the smartest or the weirdest in any meeting. Sometimes both. These days the best I can hope for is "oldest"

But, to anyone worth talking to, surely that makes you seen as the wisest? Or at least the guy who's seen this shit before?

He is so knowledgeable, he has returned himself to egg_ form.

We are excited to share that, in collaboration with the IT Services (ITS) team, we made a bot for Slack focused on improving our inclusive communication practices.

So if, for example, you use the word "crazy" on slack, you'll get a popup saying

You used the word "crazy". Were you referring to someone or a situation? Why don't you try using words like "wild" or "atypical" instead?

Ah god bless those atypical Yanks

Might be a setting your work has enabled, we don’t get nannying like that on ours.

This. In fairness, though, we should all be looking at the terms we use that we consider benign but really aren’t. Inclusive language does actually matter.

They've bought a popcorn machine for work and they make fresh popcorn every day now
It's weird.

But tasty.

Been hanging around the machine in case someone says the popcorn is free
