If you are I have to insist you do something radical, drag yourself back to college and study something worthwhile and useful, hell I don’t know make it “media studies” I’m sure your tiny brain can cope with that. If you think that’s a bit unreasonable please find a bus and jump under it, you are wasting your life and more importantly you are wasting valuable  time in other peoples lives ~ you are a spawn of satan.

I shall back up my idea with some facts for you all, July 2008 I started a new job, I did everything I was supposed to do, filled in forms brought in documents to interviews etc. I get all the way through to the final interview when Human Remains remember they were supposed to ask me to do a psychometric before my FIRST interview. Despite filling in answers indicating I can get a little *frustrated* with r-tards I got the job, during the first week I ensured a copy of my passport was provided to HR to prove that I am British, I also ensure that the medical history forms are completed and returned (hey free healthcare is good!:-) )

So time goes on and the true nature of the waste of space known as hr comes to fruition, “We don’t appear to have had your medical forms returned” Oh really, funny how I have been sent all of the records and healthcare card already then isnt it …. I chose to ignore them and say I would do it, still my medical cover is in place so a win all around if you ignore the fact they have LOST sensitive personal data.

Time continues to pass … whats this a phone call from some other HRtard, “We don’t appear to have a copy of your passport to prove you are OK to work here….” Oh FFS already, I politely inform that they have already had a copy and get told “oh sorry it must have got misplaced, we will need another copy”. Oh hell you’ve lost a copy of my passport, now what’s the worst that could happen if that got into the wrong hands …… ARRRGGHHHHHH

Again I try my time honoured method of ignore the HRtard… sadly it hasn’t worked, today I get an email telling me they have not had my id yet and now it is urgent so can I please let them know when would be convenient for me to come and see them with it. Lets just back this the fuck up, you lose my health records, you lose a copy of my passport due to your incompetence and now you expect me to make the effort to come and see you?!?!?!? Just who the fuck do you think you are?!?!

So in conclusion, if you work in HR you are nothing but a waste of space, please do the honourable thing and find something worthwhile to do with your life or perhaps I will?

So I thought I would post a photo of our new plot on Scours Lane, it was taken by my *better* half a few weeks ago, not a lot going on really, some raised beds laying around, our old greenhouse and  a new shed in the wrong place! The only real reason for posting this is so that you see what progress we have made when I post a newer photo in the days to come (unless I forget which is entirely possible – after all whilst there is beer to be drunk it will be!)

In the foreground you will see a nice big pile of poo! Well poo and straw actually, the pile is now half the size it was as we have spread some around ready for the ground to dry out a bit before I get to take the rotovator out for its first run. The rotovator was a brilliant find of mine from rehomeyourstuff, a website I suggest you check out.
