What sort of fucking stupid institution asks you to complete an online induction course when you've been working for them for seven years?

What sort of fucking incompetent institution puts together an induction course which locks each section behind the completion of the previous section but then fails in making the section actually unlock.

WARLORDS OF WYRDWOOD by @dedbutdrmng is out September 10th!
This is the second installment in a new epic fantasy trilogy set in a forest straight out of darkest folklore with outlaws fighting an evil empire and warring deities.

Dammit! Trying to get a group of academics to work the same way, use the same templates and work together is harder than trying to get students to work on a group project!
I'd rather mark 150 students than have to organise 6 academics marking (and double marking) 50 students

Yippee! All marking done!!
Well apart from academic misconduct meetings and vivas for suspected (but unprovable) ChatGPT use.

Marking dissertations used to be an exercise in average submissions punctuated with terrible lows and wonderful highs.
Now the highs just bring apprehension over AI generation.. :-(

Today in the world of you couldn't make it up. Sit down to dinner and watch my favourite youtuber playing a game which turns out to be about a woman taking her mother's ashes to be scattered.

While I'm trying to decide if I should turn it off or hope for some sort of catharsis Dad phones to check up on me and make sure I'm okay.

Mum & Dad decided a few years back they didn't want funerals so they signed up to Pure Cremation for a cremation and having their ashes scattered in their remembrance garden. Dad asked Mum earlier this year if that was still what she wanted, she said yes.

Fucking micro-managers pestering you about everything you have to do so you start copying them in in every email and then they complain and tell you to send everything through the hierarchy. :-(

When Amazon recommends something to you and you feel a bit creeped out that products might be getting a bit too targeted.
