Yay for the mozzarella burgers!
Nothing illicit about a picky tea for me, one of the best dinners there is 😁
Well done on all your general brilliance and hooray for a five day break
Ugh, you are surrounded by such workplace tw*ttery. Hope you've still got those new job tabs open, at least mentally. I know work is work etc but you do not deserve to be dragged down to their frankly embarrassing level and suffer all the stress it causes.
Marvellous to be able to have a mental mic drop at 'they were done, months ago' though 💅

@PennysIntoPounds, there is very little about jobs wise atm - summer season probably doesn’t help, so it might pick up in September. However, industry is quiet with orders everywhere. I suspect that explains why useless report is behaving like all is well…. 🙄 And yes, I quite enjoyed telling boss that task was DONE! 😉😂
Thanks @savingholmes 😊
@redofromstart, the book was this one 😊
