It’s Norfolk. That is probably just some of the locals. -

Quick setting epoxy filler which isn't and disk-cloning software which doesn't.
Firstly. Currently waiting 3hrs for some 1 hr epoxy filler to set.....
Second, cloned a 512GB SSD to a 1Tb yesterday to find the fucking software creates a partition on the new SSD exactly the same size as the old one - 512GB. It then created and locked a new partition that couldn't be deleted in Windows Disk Manager. Had to dig out old DOS commands to delete the bloody thing.
Fire these pricks.

If someone could come along and translate this into English I’d appreciate it

I'm pissed off that quick- setting epoxy filler is taking over 4 hours to set.
And some software which promised to make installing a new hard drive easy turned out to be shit.
And the people who sold me this shit to me should be fired.

Starting a project with a new client and as part of the on-boarding, having to sit through a couple of hours of HR speeches. For some reason we've been lumped in with actual employees. And there's a DEI segment with what appears to be a young Elle MacPherson running it.
Just kidding. She looks exactly like you'd expect.

HR are a necessary evil; but I've never met one who wasn't a self-aggrandising, narcissistic, empire builder who thinks they put in a hard day
mentoringchattingwasting other peoples time.There is a colossal difference between HR folks depending on their level.
Senior: Firm first, screw the workers, act like in love with the CEO
Mid: Power trip, narcissistic, arse kiss of Senior HR, waste of space for both the firm & the workers.
Junior: Lovely, often quite hot, nervous & naive -
So looking at next running event. London now does something called The Big Half which looks like could be a lot of fun. Here's the sales pitch:
Organised by London Marathon Events, The Big Half is a vibrant, inclusive half marathon with a fun, festival atmosphere. The 13.1 mile course weaves through London from Tower Bridge to the iconic Cutty Sark in Greenwich.
I'll pass, thanks.
