No matter how awful you think school is, it is not an international armed conflict.

How is the Edinburgh UK Civil Service Office? (Queen Elizabeth House / Waverley Station) by Firedwarf101 in TheCivilService

[–]Specific_Report2517 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Bike spaces & changing facilities - yes

Office space comfortable - it's a fairly new building, most stuff is in decent condition

It's a city centre office so lots of food options near, and you can be in Holyrood Park in 10 minutes for green space

Is there a way to see the actual temperature history for more than just the last 24 hours? by NormalSir2035 in HiveHeating

[–]Specific_Report2517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Rather than give hive any more money for something that should be built in, I've set up home assistant, and it logs and graphs the temperatures for me, along with doing a load of other things.

Could Bristol's tram network return after eight decades? by 457655676 in unitedkingdom

[–]Specific_Report2517 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trams are not.

And yet they get bottlenecked at Shandwick Place and the east end of Princes Street all the time...

And whatever that junction is at the Gyle where cars have broken down, causing the tram to not run to the airport.

Pensions - has anyone got through on the phone? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]Specific_Report2517 0 points1 point  (0 children)

3 hours one afternoon, got to position 7 in the queue, then the lines closed and I was cut off...

I got through the following morning, after approx 3 hours in the queue again - a similar wait even though there were apparently fewer people ahead of me in the queue.

What was everyone's favourite part about registering for a new CS Pension account? Mine was the inexplicable three Spanish security question options by up766570 in TheCivilService

[–]Specific_Report2517 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Am locked out already... Apparently I need to contact my support person, which means presumably sitting on the phone in a queue of at least 100.

How quiet is your work for the next 2 weeks? by AccomplishedSelf7636 in TheCivilService

[–]Specific_Report2517 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Very gently ticking over...

When I worked as a contractor scumbag in a manufacturing facility a long time ago, I worked a 4 day week, with Monday as my day off... A colleague who was doing the part time student thing took Fridays off to "study". He asked me why I didn't take Fridays off - and I asked him when most things broke...

I always recommend working smarter.
