So we're all working from home tomorrow. Wooh! But check this loving gem from our FD:quote:I don't care about the health of people, I care about the health of this company. If you're not talking specifically about that then it's got no place in this meeting and to be quite honest you're welcome to gently caress off and tell someone who gives a poo poo. Wrote it down on the spot because I couldn't quite believe it. To be fair our CEO did call him out and say he does care about people, a lot. Nevertheless.

Lol my coworker who is still not well enough to work really but since we're contractors had had to come in rather than miss a 9th straight day still has his nasty dry cough, fatigue and idk about a fever so that's cool. Fortunately I got ill around the same time with similar but much milder symptoms so maybe I'm good

Owns the business 40% is the most straightforward answer, also kept it afloat with personal funds during the financial crash. He directly told me to shut the gently caress up when I said there might be a GDPR consideration about a new rule that says everyone has to put their personal mobile on a list which is accessible by the whole company.

Because I think a hostile takeover by getting him to gently caress himself might be an idea. What an utterly repellent human being.

Z the IVth posted:You can't post something like that and not actually say it! This was like 25 years ago, and my Latin skills have gone since then. But I went full hog- curse written out in Latin, surrounded by his name reversed and overturned, symbols of the hanged man and various bits and pieces of Latin occult gibberish cribbed from curse tablets found in Pompeii and (iirc) Bath. One of the best pieces of work I did for that class, or in the whole of my yr8 stuff (I really really hated that ginger scouser prick; the fact that at 12 I was 6” taller than him and had a tendency to stare him down and laugh when he went off at me probably didn’t endear me to him either). Edit: dirty google translate: ut sicut serpentes comedent sacerdotes Laocoon dum sacrum caput ejus pendet in dolio urina. (May he be devoured by angry serpents like the priest Laocoon, while suspended by his ankles with his head in a cauldron of piss. Yes I was the sort of 13 year old that would reference Virgil) Camrath fucked around with this message at 13:30 on Mar 17, 2020 |

Was replacing some rail over the weekend and at one point a badger came down to the fence near where we were working and just sat down and watched us for five minutes  I forget how big they are in real life.

Just had a knock at the door. It's my friend who lives down the road who's been self-isolating for four days with a temperature and a cough. He's bored and wants to know if I want to play Mario Kart. Then he got all shirty when I got mad and told him to gently caress back off home IMMEDIATELY. we're doomed

You might call it funny that the Tories engineered a crisis to make themselves rich, and now another crisis has intervened that means a) they wasted their efforts, b) they're not going to profit from their own crisis because of the second crisis, and c) there is a strong chance that many of them will die because of it.

Hello there UKMT, long time lurker but I thought I'd tell you about my current coronavirus situation. I'm a cadet on board a container ship. To complete the cadetship and get qualified as a marine engineer you have to do a certain amount of time working at sea. Right now I need about 3 days of sea time. Unfortunately the company operating the ship has suspended crew transfers at all its ports of call. I get the same training allowance whether I'm on ship, on leave or at college so I'm looking at god knows how many months of forced, unpaid labour. Cadets are by definition non-essential crew. I do not need to be on this ship and nobody would need to replace me, so bringing someone infected on board needn't be a concern. The monthly allowance I get is considerably less than minimum wage for an apprentice for the amount of hours I work. Funny thing is I was supposed to be done by now but the company had me start my last trip a week later because they were too cheap to fly me to the port I was meant to get on at. All of that and the captain just told me off for not greeting him with sufficient enthusiasm.

Just left the house to go to the dentist (got to get this appointment in now). Within 5 minutes of leaving the house I was sharing a lift down to the tube platform with a guy who really obviously had coronavirus and was wheeling two suitcases.

The least weasel is so called because it is the smallest member of the family Mustelidae common to the UK and Europe. Therefore I propose that badgers are called the most weasel.

I can't work out the guidelines they've given - if you have symptoms you must self isolate for 7 days, if you live with others they have to isolate for 14 days, but does the original symptomatic person self isolate for 7 or 14 days?

I'm assuming merchant navy: https://www.ucas.com/ucas/after-gcses/find-career-ideas/explore-jobs/job-profile/merchant-navy-engineering-officer Sounds like a poo poo position to be in mate. Good luck, hopefully they remember to keep sending you food. On the bright side, our substitute PM has just chimed in on the Corona Crisis quote:Stanley Johnson, father of the UK prime minister, has indicated he would ignore official advice to tackle the spread of coronavirus and still go to the pub. Boomers, for fucks sake nobody 'needs' to go to the pub.

Should I cancel my dentist appointment next week? The fact that the dentist breathes over peoples faces all day seems pretty risky, but I don't know when this ends and I'd be able to get an appointment in the future. I don't know if they take extra precautions now.

Sanford posted:What happens if you just... don't? I'm considering it, but they'd likely withdraw their sponsorship and I don't have enough to pay for the rest of the course myself, so it'd make the last nearly 3 years of my life pointless. Even when we're in England I can't just walk off because they've got my passport, seaman's book, etc. locked away in a safe. I'm giving serious thought to injuring myself or something so they have to take me off but realistically I'm too much of a coward to do it. I'd need to do it soon though because by the time I'm closest to the uk/Ireland again the hospitals'll be overwhelmed. bessantj posted:Wait, is this in the armed forces? If it's not I'd laugh my arse off if someone said that to me. Nope, merchant navy. Purely civilian. One of the many, many reasons I didn't join the Royal Navy was to avoid this kind of bullshit.

OwlFancier posted:Stanley johnson seems like he might need to. He should just do what all of us in this thread do: Self isolate, panic buy a half dozen bottles of whiskey off Amazon, then day drink while desperately refreshing the guardian live blog. On a semi-serious note though I can imagine a lot of undiagnosed (especially older bougie) alcoholics out there suddenly getting DTs and withdrawal symptoms when left alone in a house without booze for two weeks. Delirium Tremens of course often require hospitalisation... E: Looks like some wine moms are already switched on to this issue quote:Wine buffs have been stocking up on Italian, French and English wines as well as sherry and brandy amid fears that coronavirus lockdowns may interrupt supplies.
