English Spam Thread and General Rubbish

I'm working from home. I'm in a production support role for DHA.

[StarPhoenix]

Is that short for "Department of Home Affairs"?

[Stuart]

It's thanks bro

Ron is a kiwi, you racist!

Kiwi. Aussie. Same difference. Like Americans and Canadians.

My PC is making a funny grinding noise that I always assumed was the HDD platter, but now I only have SSDs. Explain this to me, you computer nerds.

It's your music. Upgrade your taste.

White shores... and beyond. A far green country, under a swift sunrise.

Did anyone else read "white whores"? No? Just me? Never mind then.

How you doing?

Joey?

[KatrynKat]

I survived the shops!!!!

Had to wait in ques outside Woolies and Dischem in the sun but other than that it was fine... RRF was waiting outside in the car and because he didn't listen to me when I said we should start the cars last week he thus sat with a dead battery (it only worked to get us to the shops 1 block away and then died) and had to call in his cousin to help jump start the car...

And then I disinfected everything I bought before it was packed away in the fridge, cupboard or storeroom... Did not use gloves or masks but a lot of people were wearing them...

We have interesting food again to eat... and stuff to bake a cake and cheesecake...

[KatrynKat]

How you doing?

Joey?

Yeah...

How many of you are working from home?

I am reading through advertisements on SA-Tenders.co.za

I am working from home... although it is not my normal daily work as that can only be done at the office they gave us other work to do so that we are able to still generate an income and get salaries...

RRF is also working from home ( he does it now and then when he has to deploy late at night and works the next day from home) as will probably be doing so for the foreseeable future to make up for the 20% pay cut that they will most probably take... Top management will take a 35% cut if this is implemented... The clients are not able to pay their accounts... He's still working for E.O.H. IOCO...

I've ventured out a few times to buy bread. Not been too bad at the shops in this part of town, though I did avoid the few days around pension payouts. Checkers was fully stocked but mostly devoid of customers yesterday. Local Dischem was only allowing a few people in at a time, but that was only a five minute wait before I got in.

I still have messages that Freeloader and some others haven't received because they never logged on again lol

Just saw that. My inbox was full apparently.

Nice to see you here. They weren't important and are no longer relevant lol

How are you doing ?

Glad your companies are making plans to keep you busy and employed. So many people I know of that are out of jobs or having to take unpaid leave. It is very sad this.

White Whores, SA-Tenders - what exactly is this thread?

[SykomantiS]

That would be correct, yes.

hmmmm... shouldn't there be a quarantine thread... for all the sick people...

Just joking... glad to "see" you again...

Go gettim !!!

Only managed to get a "lol" out of him. I tried...

Tell him I say he needs to pop in and say hi at least once.

Update: the Lurker's Minion claims that he will pop in this evening.

That's not a nice way to refer to the Missus

I cannot work from home, and nor can the production floor. We still have several-several dozen searchlights due before the end of June, plus all the supporting equipment to operate them that the customers need as well. So the entire building is full of people trying to avoid each other. It makes for very antisocial offices and lunch tables.

Sadly cant avoid it. Only person in role.

Speaking of which, you came up in conversation, and she jokingly said "why hasn't he invaded us yet?".

If i recall correctly, working late at night would be ideal for him.
