The "Pissed Off " Thread

Not so much pissed off as sad to see a much liked and respected colleague of mine leave her role at work for pastures new today.
She has been so kind to me through all my mental health struggles as my line manager. I could have asked for no better human to ever know as my poem dedicated to her made clear.
She said it made her cry which wasn't really the intention but hey ho.
Damn I'm gonna miss her

----------------------------------------------------

Every now and then fate deals the kindest cards
Blessed to encounter those who go those extra yards

To actively listen is to show compassion in the first degree
The value felt often beyond what anyone can see

The toughest of times are a learning curve
Critical moments to test ones nerve

It is impossible to face those demons alone
Uncertain of what comes next following a path unknown

Family and friends help of course
Easing temptation to feel guilt based remorse

Wonders of modern medicine play their part
In the pursuit of rebalance and a new start

But sometimes it takes the actions of just one sweet soul
To help repair the most from in pieces to whole

You see just by listening with patience to show you care
Commands value akin to that of answering a prayer

That one sweet soul is now reading this
After helping steer me from the abyss

So as I bid you farewell and au revoir
I thank you for being just who you are

May I bid you every joy and happiness for all time
The pleasure to know you has been all mine.

Goodbye.

You know that feeling where you are absolutely gagging to call people out on behaving like a bunch of sanctimonious, pompous, up their own arse twats but end up resisting on the basis of trying to prevent outright war.

Yeah I'm finding myself in that place a lot just recently .

^^ I get that feeling everytime I browse twitter, and on some occasions, babeshow forums

^ You know that extra feeling when a much respected fellow forum poster reads your mind

Mr Kipling has reduced the size of his individual fruit pies from 59g to 52g

Bastards! I blame Truss

FFS.
Lost my keys again, spent over an hour looking for em and eventually found them in the fridge of all places when I had given up to make myself a sandwich .

WTF snot literally pouring out of me

Seems I bought the '30% less sugar' ones by mistake

As you were

7g from 59g is approx 12% anyway.

I bought a 10 pack of crisps for £1, thinking that's a bargain.

Only 18g a bag , I need 2 bags to know I have had any, what a con. A bag of crisps should be at least 26g.
