Martyn 303 Posted June 18, 2018 Report Share Posted June 18, 2018 Katjay, that is my understanding as well. When I first started working in an office we used to have secretaries, file clerks and a bunch more administrative personnel. The job of Office Manager was a big deal. Then with PC’s the number of secretary’s halved, then with the internet, laptops, email and cell phones they have more or less disappeared along with all those administrative positions and office space. The result is that people like me now type and instead of letters we message everything along with attachments. Just this morning I was told that my son should write a proposal as my english was too English. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
nonnaB 4,895 Posted June 23, 2018 Report Share Posted June 23, 2018 Went to the local supermarket this morning and almost had an accident. The front of the SM is on a slope and coming out with a trolly of shopping heavy with a couple of cases of water, it decided to go its own way and I couldnt control it. The cause?? Wheels bunged up with hair and bits of paper. Why dont SM clean them up every so often? A friend of ours was made redundant many years ago so not to be unemployed he did the rounds and asked if they had any trolleys to service, mainly clearing the gunge from the wheels. It turned into a well paid business. Here there are a lot of young men out of work that hang around supermarkets to take trolleys back etc and looking for a couple of cents. I feel like telling them to ask if anywhere has any trolleys to clean. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
FLY2 10,108 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 Returned an article to a department store this morning, and got the refund on madams credit card, but the questions ! Why do they require my postcode, house number and email address...... Ridiculous. Didn't give my email address. Oh, and why don't assistants pick up clothing that has dropped from the racks and hang it up. Unbelievable sloppy behaviour ! Typical of today's 'Let someone else do it attitude '. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 July 4. Independence Day here! Not my favorite day. I (jokingly) tell folks I don't celebrate my country getting kicked out of here in 1776. . Bloomin'. Fireworks going off'till midnight. Me dog scared to death. What's to celebrate. Heard of a survey recently. Half the folks don't really know what it was about or when it was. Another third thought we separated from Virginia. I kid you not! 3 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

loppylugs 8,429 Posted July 4, 2018 Report Share Posted July 4, 2018 They need to start thinking about things, Jill. The hatred and angst here is palpable. If they don't simmer down and gerra grip we'll be fighting civil war 2.0 and they won't understand why. I'm about ready to pack me bags.

If I was being cynical, and I often am, I suppose that the majority of people who have fought in this world's conflicts didn't really understand why. If you can prevent people thinking about things and understanding situations, you can control them with ease. Providing them with access to lots of addictive food and drink helps, as do social media sites and brain numbing rubbish on 24 hour a day tv channels. Life is cheap, always was, probably always will be. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Question is though, Fly. Are they really to blame or has the system been dumbed down so much that they never really learned any independent thinking? I think back to some of the history in particular that we were taught. For example, we were taught that Guy Fawkes tried to blow up parliament and King James in the early 1600s. We were not taught why he did it, who was behind it etc.. So most light their bangers on Nov 5 with no real idea of what they are celebrating or why. The winner of wars writes the history. The loser is demonized and so it goes. Edited for spelling. 5 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
