Re: New phone time

My Wife's S21 has just been replaced by the S24 and its a noticeable improvement all round. Its slightly shorter physically but the screen uses more of the real estate and is the same size. It also holds really nice in the hand, something I didn't think mattered but it's much nicer to hold than my S...

Not many.. 6 or 8 from memory, he hasn't filled his roof they're just at a good angle without obstruction. Even on overcast days he can pull about a kW/h I think he said... although I'm a bit ropey with the numbers so don't hold me to that. I remember thinking he's pulling enough to boil a kettle ev...

Re: The electric car revolution

There's going to be extra costs on electric once they're the majority and charging hours will be heavily limited... or even capped.

Re: The electric car revolution

My Dad now has 2 electric cars in the household and with solar panels and batteries. The solar panels feed to the grid for 12p return. He charges his car and batteries for 6p overnight from the grid. His batteries are usually enough to cover a full day working from home for both him and his Wife.

Trying to get my car looked at today as it has developed a P2279 fault and limp mode. Looks unlikely for me to be going to Wales mountain biking tomorrow

Re: Work

Our procedures are less than 1 year old and need finessing. Ironically, this is something that I brought up back in August/September for review but my manager turned up and shut the meeting down saying, "we've got bigger issues at the moment than worrying about the efficiency of a process"...

Re: Work

Just to pick up on one thing you said, do you think I commented on his competency or challenged him?

Again, I want to learn if I'm doing something wrong.

Re: Work

Another morning updating the project plan... because it's now out of date because I spent all my time working to the constantly changing plans. Oh and I've been reprimanded AGAIN because I sent work through manufacturing instead of doing it myself which goes against my training plan - WHICH I DIDN'T...

Re: Work

Nothing realistic currently, it seems that the right balance of pay, role and distance isn't presenting itself currently. I have slowed down my search since we became pregnant again too

In my gantt chart I have text (wingdings symbols) correlating to events with associated time and personnel responsible. So column E is hours, F is person and then DH through RE is the timel...

Re: Work

I've started a title-less tally on the whiteboard in our office. Only I know what it's for.

It's currently standing at 5 having started it 20 minutes ago.... it's the number of times I've wanted to go home.
