I had to sit in “in loco parentis” or as a referee on a zoom call this morning between our tech wonk and a tech wonk from the logistics company we are looking to move to. Don’t these guys just love their TLAs?
All I really got from it was if the GTIs can’t talk directly to the SRis, then they’ll need to be ported back into the CEO which would then generate a BSM telling the SRi to update the PDF in real time but there might be 15 minute lag as it re-sorts.
Their wonk said that could all be done from their end by lunchtime but our wonk said it would take him six weeks, but then it should be all good unless there was a problem with the 406.
Twonks 🙄
I liked it when Tracy in the office used to call Sharon at the warehouse every morning with the day’s orders and get Kenny to put them in boxes to be picked up later by Dan with his lorry.

I spend most of my days listening to other people talk like this, and never understanding a bloody word of it.
I somehow manage to keep holding on to a job. I'll get found out one day.
I was wistfully watching a traffic warden mooching about whilst on an errand this afternoon. That'd do me, I thought. Then I realised he'd have targets, and timesheets, and a boss, and angry tattooed bald blokes in vests and shorts crying about their roided up SUV getting a ticket, and, and....sigh.
Retirement and passive income is the only answer. 6.5 years and counting.

They “won’t let me” retire yet. Perhaps I’ll do something outrageous so they feel more nervous about it all. It’s got to be preposterous enough to disconcert them but not serious enough to merit dismissal… 🤔

Demand a big pay rise Humph, that’ll get them motivated on seeing you out!
I got 3% yesterday, sigh…

They “won’t let me” retire yet… What do you need from them to make retirement possible? Some kind of golden parachute deal that they can hold just out of reach to keep you keen? If not, then — as I plan to — can’t you just decide you have enough squirrelled away that you no longer need theirs and can stay home and nibble your own nuts?

Of course I can go when I want, but I’ve been asked and incentivised to stay a bit longer. I will for a bit, but not long term.
