Was in a cafe (coffee and cake style) and a guy popped his dog on the soft fabric chair next to him. Little dog anus rubbing all over the seat and tongue over the table.
Was with my wife who hates me going Larry David so I restrained myself from saying anything but seriously…how the fuck do you think that is acceptable?
It’s not even advertised as dog friendly or anything. So fucking gross.
At least he’s not in another pair of horrendous shorts.
Should I complain to management about being shouted at in my cleaner job? I know I’ve not remembered everything but I’ve always turned up on time and tried my best.
I get that man. I’m just going to do my best to go over all the procedures for cleaning so am on point on Wednesday. Then there’s no issues all round.
No. If that’s happened in the first few days, that’s probably just how they do things there.
personally I’d take it up with them directly and do it professionally and courteously with respect and if they take it on board then great if they fly off the handle which I expect to be the case then you can say you’ll take this further with superiors as it seems to be an attitude issue rather than a managerial issue with helping a new employee get better at their job.
What is it you’re cleaning?
I clean the toilets of a national trust property. Takes about 3.5 hours 4 days a week. There’s just a lot to remember concerning the different cleaning procedures.
I only ask as the context matters. I did a bit of work at Sellafield and got shouted at for carrying a hot coffee up some stairs without a lid on the cup. They were obsessed about zero tolerance to health and safety fuck ups, for obvious reasons - even in the office bits of the site. But it doesn’t feel like toilets at the National Trust would warrant getting balled at. The work matters, otherwise the job wouldn’t exist and the place would get unsanitary quickly, but does it matter enough for this person to be shouting at you? Or are they just mega keen on their job?
The interim line manager said that her standards were way above everyone elses’s standards. I got on way better with the cleaner who left. I think she could make a point without shouting but I don’t know whether complaining about that would make anything better. I’ve only been there 2 weeks and to remember everything within that short space of time is some ask.
If it’s that in depth you need to be making notes.
Good point, I’ll start doing that on Tuesday when I go in.
But not on your phone!
With a wee note pad.
Wasn’t sure where to put this but wow Rio O’Byrne is an amazing skater. Just saw him skate Spit and Sawdust…ripping.
Yeah I agree - one of my favourites to watch.
He was a tiny vert grom from the age of like 8 too.
Spontaneous, crazy trick bag and nice.
Anybody here got a metal detector? Quite fancy finding some Roman coins or Iron Age arrow heads, but not sure how to begin.
I was looking into getting one. I like digging shit out of the river bank by my house, found all sorts of rad stuff from the old tinworks up the road. Brass blowtorches, hobnail boots, pop bottles and so on.
I gave up on the idea when I realised I’d probably have to join a metal detecting club to avoid getting nicked for doing it somewhere I shouldn’t.
Is it like fishing on land? In that respect.
Yeah good comparison! You have to make sure you’re not on private land or near anything historical! Makes it a bit more boring.
Magnet fishing is fair game anywhere though as far as I can make out. Might be more fun.
