The grumble thread

[ComaChameleon]

Sometimes it can help to just scream it out what's [Removed] you off....

I'll start...

As my "company" (aid relief, but behaving like a company) changed so many things.... Our teamleader was thrown out, is a normal co-worker now... The shiftplans are "planed" centrally now (I can't even say it's planned, that would imply it has a structure, but it's just like throwing [Removed] on a paper). The shiftplan is.... just no. We work our asses off, have plushours galore and the other watch has minushours. So they have freetime enough and we thought about putting containers on the watch to live there, because we don't know why we pay rent for our flats - we're hardly ever there!... And the best shifts are always given to the temporary workers who already have a very good job, so they get the extra amount on money instead of us....

Next week I can finally take my annual leave from LAST year (by law you have to take it by 31th march by exception... I got it excepted even longer. I'm so ready for a holiday!

So.

What drives me crazy about superlatives? When some bright spark journo tries to make it even more superlative, vis:

• However, on a heavy passenger aircraft like an A330, thrust reversers are very crucial.

The "very" in the above statement is extraneous: if something is crucial, by definition it is extremely important.

People writing "very unique" should also be given a stern talking-to. 

Bah!

Rant over.

Ohhhhh, thanks for the lesson @pgn 

It's 'extremely crucial' I am aware of this.

I do believe someone on here was moaning about conversations, posts and/or text starting with the word 'so'
