My turn for the Thursday complaints thread! (self.ukcasual)

I guess whoever is up earliest on a Thursday gets to make it, and isn't being up really early cause enough for complaint in itself? Hmm, this is far too deep philosophy for so early in the morning.

Anyway. My main complaint this week is that our new neighbours have got a new tiny puppy. It's a little bulldog type thing I believe, but absolutely tiny so even the couple of glimpses I've had of it running around the back garden it's been mostly hidden in the grass.

The complain is not the existence of a new tiny neighbour, it's that I can't think of a not-socially awkward way of meeting it.

I demand to meet the puppy!

Anyway how's your Thursday? Get it all off your chest before the weekend, that's the healthy way.

That sucks, and I remember exactly how it feels. Worked in admin for years myself until deciding to learn web dev and go for that instead. But you're right that sometimes the energy for retraining just isn't there.

Admin is ridiculously underpaid given how quickly everything would fall apart without it. And it takes skill to keep things running efficiently, so no idea why it's so unappreciated.

Solidarity may not be worth much, but it's all I've got to offer.
