Situation: Fugazi Cubed

It turns out that 'The Marketplace' has fucked up the paper order.

Jim only noticed when he was filing the paperwork that, while the order value was correct, the quantities were listed as zero. As a consequence the order effectively didn't go through.

Which means still no paper after nearly a week.

I've just had to scrounge 3 boxes from Megan so we can do the Lab's printing!

Deja Plus

Deja Plus is like Deja Vu but last time it was better!

Came in this morning and found that the card reader was fucked. Again.

This time it was all the card readers throughout the building.

John Mayes had been called out a 04.00 and had been here since 04.30 with an an engineer who couldn't get it working.

New engineer came in at around 09.00 and it was fixed around 10.30.

Still haven't got any paper though...

Tom Hardy

Apparently Tom Hardy chased and caught a thief in London yesterday.

I really hope that when Hardy caught the bloke he growled "I have a use for you."

Situation: Fugazi Squared

Get in at 07.40 looking forward to a shower etc. Back door not working so have to go round the front.

Get in & find that card access to printroom doesn't work.

Test card on other readers at front & it works fine, so not it's the card.

Ian B comes in so I ask if he can let me in "There you go .... Oh!"He then goes to the stores & finds that's out of action too. Ian opens the hatch and climbs through so that he can get stores open.

After testing various doors it seems that the rear ground floor is affected. John M calls Chubb.

I sit down to wait.

And I wait.

And I wait some more.

Get a coffee from the Lab & let Megan know.

Send Bruce a text saying not to rush as can't get in. Bruce doesn't read it so when he gets in and is told he decides to pop into town to bits and bobs. Does discover that it seems a panel has shorted out.

I wait some more.

Finally get through to Phil around 10.15 & see if there's anything I can do over there. Neville hasn't had time to sort the lawn photos from March (and not done April 01 prints) so I go over, sort them out and pack them.

At 12.35 Bruce calls to say that the panel has been fixed. Finish packing & get some food.

Get back to RNB around 14.15 and finally sit down at my desk some 6.5 hours after first attempting to.

What a typical, fucking, twatting waste of time.

Just the start you want in a 6 day week!

Situation: Fugazi

So we're nearly out of paper & can't get anymore as the 'Market Place' is down. UIS runs this and it seems a some knobber did a software update that fucked it up. So Jim can't order paper.

He's phoned up Lyrico and the said they'd take an emailed PDF order. But Faye is away. Rachel can't be found. Jim is away on Monday too (but has left a message for Faye to do urgently on Monday).

In short, there's a load of printing coming for lecture notes and we don't have enough paper.

Not sure how we are going to explain that to CL, MSM etc....

All-in-all a typical UIS fuck-up!

Update: It turns out that lazy fucking arse Faye finally got around to doing the 'urgent' order after Ian B had gone home at 16.30. As a result we are down to the last 2 reams from the 2 boxes Jim had left. He's only got 2 reams of A3 & 2 of A4 left.

As the order went off on Tuesday the earliest it''l turn up is Wednesday.

A classic UIS fuck-up!

MPs

After the shock wears off, MPs face up to having to meet hordes of horrible common people yet again.

GE17

Theresa May seeing the results of the snap June election yesterday.

Surprise Election

Theresa Mayhem has just performed another U-Turn and announced a snap election on June 8th (assuming she gets the requisite 2/3rds majority in the house)!

Theresa Mayhem's logic: I’m fucking miles ahead in the polls, labour are a shambles & Corbyn wouldn’t dare reject the motion.

Secondary logic: If I get an increased majority I can silence all the hard brexit loonies in my party.

Afternoon

Bruce just came in (@ 09.48) and said "Morning".

"Afternoon." I added quietly.
