"WFH" is generally accepted in an office environment to mean "working from home", and I use it online, in an email etc. However heard someone use it in conversation at my work yesterday. "I'm W F H tomorrow". I don't want to live in a world where vocabulary goes down that path :grr:
I don't actually mind the occasional whiff of smoke. It reminds me of my youth.Quote:

You will have to stop sometime though.
This should probably be on a new "things that make you cringe" thread rather than an all-out pet peev.. however:
The two lassies sat little over a metre away from me right now at work who are discussing Tv shows that they can or can't "binge".
That would be annoying Pedantic hope you just ignored it and continued on as some of these young folk seem to think they own the place. Hope you still had a wonderful day and the "volley of abuse" was not to vitriolic . :aok:Quote:

They're worse than smokers - just.
As are guys who wear a bottle of aftershave :greengrinQuote:

Agree with this. There's more syllables in "WFH" than there is in "working from home", so it actually takes longer to say.Quote:

Just like colleagues who leave a recorded message saying they are on leave, rather than holiday.
Ps we do not work in the forces.
Imagine if someone sat down beside you in a beer garden and started puffing away on a Gurkha, I hope they'd have the common decency to ask if you minded first, although I would imagine the bar staff would chuck them both out. :-)Quote:

A) you're not achieving anything like what you should be by taking such long rests and b) I've been waiting 10 minutes for the bench you're using.
I think there should be a no mobile phones policy in gyms but then you see the instructors sitting at the desk using theirs. Definitely pissing in to the wind with that argument.
Holiday is fine if you are on holiday. Different if you are on sick leave, special leave, maternity leave, paternity leave or adoption leave.Quote:
