Got taken off the project I was working on to go and head up another one. I think I might be getting thrown under the bus. However, I'm always optimistic and see this as a chance to be a hero

User: "how long will it take?"
Me: "I don't know I'm looking at it right now."
User: "Do you have some kind of timescale?"
Me: "I've literally just started looking, so I'm not sure what the issue is yet."
User: "OK, but I have to use the internet to get some files for a presentation soon, so do you know when it'll be back up?"
Me: "Well, it would be a lot quicker if I wasn't stood here talking to you. I'll let you know as soon as it's up."
Sixty to ninety minutes is good.

For longer term resolution dates, I usually say it'll be completed on the 32nd of Octember.

Why do we reward people in this country for being stupid? I swear to god, if I have to see that 'celebrities' go dating advert much more I might just throw the TV out the window. Remember when people were famous for talent, their achievements that mattered or intelligence? Not a requirement these days, all you need to is paint your skin orange, be oblivious to how the world works and have no moral compass whatsoever. *****.
