My department have been using Trello since I started there last year and it works for us and with the other company we work with. New person is sort of looking after the manager role and because she never used trello and used Jira, we "have to" switch. My training has been watching youtube video from some person I found myself. Sure Jira is good on complex projects but fuck its annoying to learn and "EPIC" card/story sounds like shit from looter shooter. I will keep asking what is the advantage of using Jira over trello in this case as I never get an answer. I do get "well we don't have to use it" (but I will change anyway, fuck your question)
In my experience Jira is generally better for software development teams, Trello is generally better for UCD teams. Only one thing is for sure: your team should be the ones who decide what to use. This. Jira is much more complex than Trello, but it's much more focused on things like github pull requests, etc..
Trello is much more generalized for pretty much anything.

Just had my current boss WhatsApp me saying he's confused as he's just had an email from the nhs asking for a reference for me.
Ah well, better to sort it sooner rather than later.
All done, phoned him and explained the score and he's fine. He even asked me what I want him to put down for the questions they've asked and then we sorted the next few weeks shifts and did the, "it's a shame but etc etc" chat to smooth it over. All done.

Well at least it got the awkward conversation out the way with and you don't have to dwell on it.

Exactly. It needed sorting in a professional way and promptly.
So here's another bloody chapter starting!
It's like playing dead space, this. What horrors are in *this* chapter?

I love Glassdoors job recommendations.
You'd be great for these two roles:
- Global head of compliance and MLRO
- PCSO
Nothing in between. The search continues.

MLRO and PCSO are pretty similar to be far.

Back to work after a week off.  It's gonna be a struggle, but at least it's only two days until the weekend. Why can't i win the lottery and fuck work off, I've put enough time in surely? Sort it out fate, you capricious bugger.  |

Same. Back here today after 10 days off. And I'm on a 11-8 shift, fucking joy.
Still, got Friday and Saturday off but in on Sunday.
Tits.
Let's hope this nhs job speeds up a bit.
Current manager at self storage knows I'm leaving now as they've done a reference check so there's all that nice awkward fun to be had too.
Tits!

My dad keeps delaying retiring as he's worried he won't know what to do with his free time when he stops working.
Fucking baffles me. I'd retire on the spot if I could and get back to reading, hobbies, walking - literally anything other than work. Don't hate my job either.

I'm also very much in the I'd-stop-working-if-I-could camp. I'm confident I can find things to do, even if the said things amount to just going for long walks everyday. I'd fucking love that tbh.
Just need my premium bonds to win the million once or preferably twice.
Any month now.

I never spoke to him about it, but I think he enjoyed having purpose. Not to mention that he liked having control and that was one thing where he could be in this element doing that. He eventually semi retired, and he was invited to join a modelling club.. bought a big ship if I remember, but then got too sick and that was it. He could have done all this a long time before his passing. Shame really. |

I never get the people that say they’ll have nothing to do with all the free time. Find something to do that’s more fun than answering emails and the phone and people demanding things.
How the fuck is that hard to find. Work is all ultimately pointless apart from the money, and possibly a some of the social things.

My periods of unemployment / lockdown have been characterized by watching shit loads of tv shows. So there's always that.

I need the structure in my life that employment provides. I had a period of unemployment when I was younger that I absolutely hated and it's made me appreciate having a job ever since.

I spend most of the working day wishing the hours away. I never seem to do that when I've got time off to do whatever I please. There might be a bit of adjustment needed after a month or so of not working, but I'd just pick up a long forgotten hobby.
Maybe things would be different if I actually enjoyed my job and it fulfilled me in any way, but nope. As it is I'm checking my pension app daily to watch my pot grow and buying far more lotto tickets than I used to.

TV, gaming, reading, learning or improving on an instrument. Start a band. Learn a language. Learn a skill. Learn anything. Take up a sport or the fitness regime you don’t have time for. Paint a Warhammer army. Write a book. Write an album just for yourself. Travel more.
If money were no object there is no way I could be bored given infinite time. Without money I imagine it could get boring really quickly though.
I actually think the difficulty would be options paralysis and keeping fit. It’s so easy for me to procrastinate and be unhealthy and that’s the death of motivation.
I reckon with a solid Excel timetable though I could plan it pretty good and enjoy it…logging on to Lotto app now!

I would happily spend 4 hours a day or so helping people in my community but if I woke up and didn't fancy it then it would be put off a day. Honestly there is so many more things out there that are more fun than work. If I won the lottery I would hire a chariot with a loudspeaker system and ride past giving my notice that way.
Obviously getting someone else to steer it or I would probably die.

When I was out of work last year, I just set aside about 5 hours a day to do my music, and loved it. I had difficulty stopping, never mind going bored of it. Could happily do that for the rest of the days. Worked enough.

I used to fantasise about winning the Euromillions and turning up to work in a different outlandish outfit for each day of my notice period. Matrix code suit from Cyberdog, Rupert the Bear outfit, an identical copy of what a knobhead exec always wears...
In reality, sod actually working a three month notice period! I'd just make sure I got put on garden leave.

There would be no notice period.
If they expected that I would turn up for work naked the next day to put an end to that.
Just hope it's a warm day as it's not that impressive to start with.

I'm hoping the nhs give me my start date soon as my boss and myself have agreed not to bother with the probationary sign off as I'm leaving anyway, so I'm staying on 1 weeks notice. Bonus.
Now I just need a phone call then I can sit in my pants for a bit chilling out.

Do y'all not play games any more? I'm going to need three retirements just to get through my Steam backlog. |

Just make sure the lottery win is genuine and not a mis-print.

Thing is, when I'm working I think of all these cool things I want to do. But when I have time off, like the weekend, I usually do fuck all with it. So if I have extended time off, I just do even more fuck all.
Although, if I could spend most of the time traveling, that'd be cool.

Could it be though that working takes your energy so when you're not working you want to relax? I get it too, and then when I go home I don't do anything sometimes, and it's because work has knackered and drained me for the day. Whereas when I had extended time off, I started to create a routine over time that was much better and I managed to invest lots of time in doing things I wanted to do, after unlearning all the work shit that normally takes your energy away. |
