[QUOTE 5281802, member: 21629"]Long story ...
First of all my shift has been changed and nobody bothered to tell me this. From usual 3pm - midnight to 6am - 3pm. So woke up today at 8.30am just to find angry message from agency "why you're not at work?" Basically this happened due to zero communication between shift managers at work.
Came late to work just to be told that I'll work in the department I've never been working before, no training has been given to work there and I've got no clue what to do.
I also need to work with Mick The D1ck and he's absolute d1ck - an old man who's got problems with his brain and first signs of dementia. He complains about everyone and everything, he thinks (and behaves) he's the boss and he's very nasty person. He must be reincarnation of my grandfather.
I've been working for that company for 2 weeks and I already would be able to write a book "How to be a d1ck".
Spoke to the manager saying that I'm not going to work with that idiot Mick and basically I'm in mood to go home right now because there are plenty of jobs everywhere. "Please calm down, it's just a job, calm down" blah blah blah.
Ok, 15 minutes later steam started to fade away and I went to see what I need to do.
I then found out that 2 electric FLTs which can be used within that department are broken. One has been broken for at least 6 months (faulty brake), another - for a few weeks. Nobody cared to contact supplier for repair. Other FLTs can't be used because they're too large for tight spaces among the rackings.
So I stated that I will not be using dangerous FLTs.
Took the last spare FLT and it's battery is 50% charged only.
So mainly bimbled here and there from 10am to 3.30pm until FLT's battery went to 0% and went home then.
My experience says that agency will replace me immediatelly to a worker who's happy to use dangerous FLTs and who speaks rubbish English and can't understand what Mick The D1ck says.[/QUOTE]
Sounds pretty typical.

Football? There's no football on at the moment. It's cricket season.

Is anyone on this thread using Windows 10 with the latest update?
I bought myself a new puter recently with a big screen, to give me more space for the doing on on-line jigsaws and other reasons.
That was fine, until somehow I now get icons of the sites I have recently visited, instead, of a line of said websites. These stupid icons take up the top fifth of the screen. How do I get rid of the silly things?
I have tried right-clicking on the icon, to no avail. They will not minimise and I cannot increase the size of the usuable screen to cover them up.

S'okay now. I founded it. I must have clicked on the down arrow at the top of the page. Trying all the options, I could see what I had done wrong. 
No, Scotland don't play Test cricket.

[QUOTE 5281843, member: 21629"]It also is a big financial loss for me because company pays very good hourly rate for late shift and very sh1t money for early shift.
EDIT: I've also been begging for 2 weeks to give me a card-key to start one of the FLTs. Still haven't got it.[/QUOTE]

Thought I'd put up a couple of pieces of art I finished not too long ago for your enjoyment and delectation.
Item one. A4 pen & wash of a friend's BMW silhouette racing car.
Item two. Derek Warwick, Peugeot 905, 1992 Le Mans 24 hours. 18 inch x 14 inch watercolour.
