You mean bank details? I actually wrote a very angry email asking for proof and telling them they are taking a piss but my mates told me to hold off until they “make their decision”. I just want to get paid and move on...

I know, which is why it’s frustrating because they are insisting that I changed my details on the online system between the starter form and getting paid. It’s my words against theirs, I can insist for them to show me proof like system logs but I honestly don’t think out HR system is that advanced or at least they wouldn’t know what I am talking about.

I just hope they get the money or whatever back in the next few days and that will be the end of the story.

I did supply the correct bank details yes but they are also saying I didn’t. I have a screen shot of my start forms and they are not disputing the fact that I did provide the correct bank details but they are now also saying I changed it. Why would I touch my bank details if I haven’t changed my bank?

It looks like they fucked it up when they entered my bank details incorrectly onto the system and trying to shift the blame onto me.

So what it is the sort code is correct, only the last digi of the account number is wrong. What are the chances of that being an actual account with just 1 digi different out of the the 6+8 digis combo?

Also, how long does it usually take for a recall to be processed?

I am going to pay that incorrect account £1 later to see what will happen to get an idea myself. A colleague who has worked there for much longer told me they would not rule out someone was actually commuting a fraud. I don’t know, so before I get my union and then legal involved, I just want to get paid and let it slide, if HR is dodgy, it’s not my fight.

So any banking help is appreciated so if they are trying to call bluff I can react accordingly before it gets ugly. Union and legal will be the last step if now resolved by end of next week.

Why have you cleared the garden? Where am I gonna hide to catch the birdy?

Bit of an odd one, do we have anyone works in the banking industry? Got some Qs re bank payment recall time/practice etc. Long story but I didn’t get paid in April because my work said they paid it into the wrong account and are blaming me for giving the wrong bank details (I didn’t) and now they are saying they will only pay me if/when they can recall the money.

it can get a bit annoying after a while though, the constant moving... that's why I am getting a humidifier... they can be had for about a tenner on ebay/amazon. Will report back if/when I get them.

lack of humidity, it's very hard to keep them brown tips/edges free, misting helps but some being misting doesn't work. I take mine into the bathroom when I shower maybe once or twice a week. About to get a humindifier soon.

@King_Saxlingham @bibimbap cheers. Next, I need to sort out the duo screen. M1 Macs only take 1 external monitor natively... arrrrhhhhhh!!!!!

Anyone using the M1 chip Macs finds their WiFi connect a bit unstable? I am 99% certain it’s not my WiFi because both my phone and my Intel macs work without a hitch.

Cake? I know a local bakery, husband and wife team. If you mention me, they should give you a discount. They asked me if I wanted to send cakes to a kings again but the fund has ran out.

Do you have a named contact at kings? It was a task and a half for me to actually get someone to approve and expect the deliveries. Also no alcohol allowed. I’ll DM deets in a mo.

? I am forever confused by all these cable names... 😬

What Mac is it? I guess they are probably smart enough to know how much power to take...

If I had 2 monitors both can charge my Mac via the USB-C ports, would I end up overloading the Mac?

This would be the easiest option, otherwise the safer option would be to get a USBC to hdmi cable, which would also be fine. I just happen to have 2 usbc cables to hand, hence the question.

This is good to know, just got a new Air from work and I am like what? You want me to do video editing on it? 😉

And we are back online! OK, I was busy and enjoying the no internet time... 😬

Apparently it was activated at 3pm. In the end, I went to the office so only just got home. The router stopped flashing hopefully it’ll work. 🥰

Switch over day, no internet for about 3 hour now. Office, here I come, it’s been a while.

Office Manager Patch was extra demanding today.

Oh I am sorry. That sucks! But whoever adopted him basically stole him? I kind of understand not bothered to check microchip but if he had a collar with your number then it was obvious!

He looks very cat in the pic! I am so sorry you lost him.

My first ever plants arrived in June last year, then Nunhead Gardener opens pretty much by my door step in Oct... the rest is, as they say, history...

Oh yes! Got 2 begonias and 3 Calathea and a wasabi plant coming tomorrow.

I got mine on Friday too, very happy with 5 out of the 6. 1 was way too small but it’s £2 and a bit each, so can’t complain.

I think I am going to repot the 5 bigger ones into the next size up pots and I’ll use a mix of houseplant repointing soil and perlite. Probably 70:30 ratio, depends on the types.

As it should. Not sure about the rules in Taiwan, but I think it's a cultural thing to tap the car bonnet loudly before getting into the car, especially in winter times, so any animals that might be sleeping under the car will know to leave.

It’s a decent thing to do.

I was in a LBS once, chatting with the guys and getting my bike fixed, we all witnessed a car ran over a cat when the driver was was starting his a car, a cyclist saw it, stopped the driver and insisted he needed to take it to the vet. It happened in Dulwich, so the neighbourhood vet is less than 5 mins walk. The driver got out of the car, had an argument with the cyclist and drove off, all whilst the kitten was lying in the floor dying. In the end, the shop owner next door took the cat to the vet but it was too late.

It was probably preventable if the driver actually fucking looked! He was just starting his fucking car not driving 40mph!

Oh sorry, I though you referred to Patch throwing up on my first day of new job.

She is a micro manager, she demands to join in to most meetings.
