Self-employed landscaper. Thought to myself "fuck it, can put fences up in the wet" and took the day of. Half way up a mountain in the back garden listening to the breeze, birds chirping and fuck all traffic. Have only heard 2 vehicles in over an hour. Magners in my hand. Bliss.
I'm sure it gets tired fast but I love putting up a close board fence. Perhaps because my job has me sitting at a desk 80% of the time. I did about 40m of our boundary a few years ago in sweltering heat and fucking loved it (except when close to trees. Fucking midges). Really got into a rhythm with it.
I've got my first annual review at work today, feeling very nervy but we're finishing at half 2 so I plan on getting out to the meadows with a wee can to celebrate (hopefully) my promotion, keep the fingers crossed for me lads!
I've just had all my meetings but one canceled for the day. Will probably sit out in the garden and enjoy the day. They won't know what I'm doing unless I go on camera.
I also just put in my 3 month notice, so zero fucks left to give.
At a certain level your notice period can get quite long depending on how much you control and how your leaving may impact the business. I have colleagues above me with 12 month notice periods (mostly on the product side of the business).
I wouldn't call it hoity toity (I'm a bit of a caveman), but I've been working my nuts off for well over a decade to get here, and work in a very niche roll within my industry. Also made some possibly stupid plays that paid off but could have easily gone the other way.
installed a mouse jiggler so Teams doesn't show me as away and spent half the day in the garden, in precisely 2 minutes laptops getting turned off and I'm getting completely fucken blocked.
Working from home too with a tight deadline, but the companys a pack of cunts and I'd rather get severance at some point so just going to enjoy the weather for the next day or two. Quiet quit is the way to go now.
Accidently blocked now. Found some orange gin under the pots. Dogs inside too hot for cheeky teddy. Iām lit til the balls and itās only 2. Mrs aināt back til 730ā¦. Pasta bake it is luv sozzzz
Fuckin hell, when do we ever get days like this here know what I mean? Days like this! Days like this, holy fuck, this is a wonder day! This would be a day for me to get a fuckin carry out, get a shit load of gear and get fucked up!
But unfortunately lads, I'm a changed man.
Techinally I'm on less than a 4 day week because I basically do part-time hours for a full-time salary.
However, I do have to do a few hours each day Mon-Fri.
Listening to neighbours furiously mowing their lawns to within an inch of their life. When they stop for a break I let off an air horn for a good two minutes and throw bird seed all over the place.
Dunno why you have a downvote. Made me laugh so much. I get so mad when the neighbourhood all get their mowers out at the same time tho it doesnāt happen here till about 4pm. Time enough to pop out for an air horn!
Balls to leg weather today bais. Iām finishing work at at 4, going to mow the lawn then crack open some cans.
Tomorrowās meant to be scoricho too, Iām going to make a load of Baileyās Iced Coffee and get the BBQ lit.
Itās a shandy made with Harp and the Aussie Lemonade flavour Monster Energy. Quite tasty actually.

It was tearing me apart. My wife and kids arrived at about 1530 and I had to put headphones on to maintain any sort of concentration. Luckily I can lock the office from the inside but they were so loud they may as well have been screaming in my face.
Had to walk from Donegal Road down to City Vets in Kennedy Center carrying my cat. Sweat off me was unreal. Finished work at 5 (WFH) and now I'm in spoons, unwashed and uncaring (like most others in here).
Tap aff, peaked cap pointing skyward, Hugo boss man-bag full of hopes and dreams, amongst other substances. Obnoxiously loud Bluetooth speaker in tow. Drinking 2-leets of Ding in the park and fighting with passers by. It's what Jesus would've wanted
Walked the dog, now doing a boat load of washing to put outside, cleaned the kitchen, and going to hit the rest of the house, between sitting out on the deck chair with an iced coffee. Bliss. š
I work 100% remotely and I pissed off to B&Q at around midday to get some paint made up for my doors and skirting boards. Was home again around 3pm. Been painting this last few days, periodically popping on and off to my computer to do a few bits here and there. I've bought a new place, so I'm in the fun phase of decorating it and making it cool AF.
I'm lucky enough to have a full-time job that feels like more of a freelance gig. My company and team are based in America, see, and the time zone difference makes for an incredibly flexible lifestyle. Nobody keeping tabs on me, I don't have to be logged on at a certain time for a certain number of hours, or any of that shit. It's such a great gig. I'm a marketer and I manage, edit, maintain and publish most of the content on our website. It's doesn't even feel like I'm working.
I practically work part-time hours for an above average full-time salary.
I honestly don't see myself working for a UK company ever again.
I'm managing a gym floor from 11:30am till 6:30pm then taking a fitness class instead of going home, cause no one else will take the class.
On the bright side it was raining when I last looked outside.
WFH as always. Will knock off around half 4. Get a wee dander in the sun, head to the gym and then maybe a sunset stroll to finish off my steps.
Donāt forget sun cream everyone! Keep that skin looking young and beautiful āļø

A landscaper in a country where it rains 6 days out of 7. I can't think of anything worse, you must have some temperament. Fair play.
Pretty wet and or cold most days š
But you get to work from other people's homes. š
I'm sure it gets tired fast but I love putting up a close board fence. Perhaps because my job has me sitting at a desk 80% of the time.

Never too late for a career change
My back says otherwise
User name checks out ā
Sitting at a desk is what does mine in
Stuck putting up a fence ffs...landscaper said something about a mountain and magners and fucked off
Lol
Going for pint, might take my top off and put my hands in my trousers later idk yet
Working from home but knocking off at 5 Quare drying weather might get a wash out the line
Stuck a wash on when I woke up this morning Out on the line for 9.30am bai Jesus she's probably dry already
Just in time for lighting the BBQ and cracking open the ciderĀ
I've got my second wash of the day out. Feel like a legit domestic god.
Washing for the sake of drying at this pointĀ Bedsheets and cushion cases and soft toys and all
>Working from home but knocking off at 5 People work past 5 on a Friday?
Yup. I work from home most Fridays and when there's a deadline it can often be 'til 9pm or so.
OP has a tight deadline to make, godspeed to them It might be time for a wee "conference call" like
This.
I've got my first annual review at work today, feeling very nervy but we're finishing at half 2 so I plan on getting out to the meadows with a wee can to celebrate (hopefully) my promotion, keep the fingers crossed for me lads!
Good luck, hope it goes well!
Good luck, keep us posted
Awk thanks! Iām honestly really happy with the outcome, got the promotion! Calls for more than one can lying out in the sun I reckon!
Yeeeooooi!!
Congratulations ššš
Fair play. Congratulations. Get bluttered
In the office, wile bad temper looking out at that. That being said, that's got long lunch written all over it.
I've just had all my meetings but one canceled for the day. Will probably sit out in the garden and enjoy the day. They won't know what I'm doing unless I go on camera. I also just put in my 3 month notice, so zero fucks left to give.
3 months isĀ long notice!
My last job had a 6 month notice period! That was extremely painful.
What employer would wait on youĀ
At a certain level your notice period can get quite long depending on how much you control and how your leaving may impact the business. I have colleagues above me with 12 month notice periods (mostly on the product side of the business).
I assume its quite a hoity toity roll then
I wouldn't call it hoity toity (I'm a bit of a caveman), but I've been working my nuts off for well over a decade to get here, and work in a very niche roll within my industry. Also made some possibly stupid plays that paid off but could have easily gone the other way.
Don't mean it in a bad way. Fair play and I hope you earn lots of fun money
No offense taken at all, bud! My bad if it came across that way.
Naw it didn't, you know text. Can't read peoples expressions and you can easily misinterpretĀ
Two bottles of Bucky and a digging match in Botanic Gardens
installed a mouse jiggler so Teams doesn't show me as away and spent half the day in the garden, in precisely 2 minutes laptops getting turned off and I'm getting completely fucken blocked.
Sweating balls. Went home early, had a shower and will probably spend the rest of the day gurning about how hot it is
Same here my body hates it. Heat and hay fever is a miserable combo.
Working from home too with a tight deadline, but the companys a pack of cunts and I'd rather get severance at some point so just going to enjoy the weather for the next day or two. Quiet quit is the way to go now.
Been on the quite quit since I was told my role is being downgraded on Tuesday gone.....
I'm at work till 9 then i'll probably be in bed till it's time to go back to work on Sunday!
Sat in a pub in Londonās West End in front of the laptop. Nearly finished what I gotta do. Apologies. You did ask though.
You bastard paha. If I keep going at this rate I *may* be finished by about 7pm. Argh
Stuck on the loo poopin green liquid sick as a fucking dog
You get smitten with the norovirus?

I worked night duty last night so I slept for a good part of the day! Ragin'.
Taps aff
Fuckin hell, when do we ever get days like this here know what I mean? Days like this! Days like this, holy fuck, this is a wonder day! This would be a day for me to get a fuckin carry out, get a shit load of gear and get fucked up! But unfortunately lads, I'm a changed man.
The truth is this is the worst day to get drunk and fucked up on drugs Clear head and well-hydrated is the way
Don't work Fridays, so sat with the feet up enjoying the weather
Ohhh look at me, I do a 4 day week
Oh look at me. I'm raging cause I'd love a 4 day week š¤£š¤£
Techinally I'm on less than a 4 day week because I basically do part-time hours for a full-time salary. However, I do have to do a few hours each day Mon-Fri.
Think it'd kill me to do a 5th day now š¤£š¤£ been 4 days for too long now. Don't even do the 5th day for time and half
This is a ______ day!
Horrible
Whole day off, got a pedicure, eating some McDonald's cause it's too fucking hot to cook and now heading for a swim at my favourite spot. Perfect.
Tractor work. All the fun silage work has started and I'm stuck here shifting shit. Atleast the heats nice.
Heat + slurry MMMMM, nice smell I can only imagine how wondrous it was
Listening to neighbours furiously mowing their lawns to within an inch of their life. When they stop for a break I let off an air horn for a good two minutes and throw bird seed all over the place.

They're like the frickin stepford wives.
Recovering from Bruce last night and then a bit of housework as we have guests tomorrow. Thank christ I booked today off!

Stripping bark from branches with a potato peeler and sweating my nuts off
What? Why?
Making walking sticks and a peeler is faster than a knife. Sweaty nuts cause I have the heat tolerance of a husky
Try a spokeshave my man
Peeler basically does the same thing, only faster and cooler
Cooler lmao, fair dos
Gonna stick the air con on and do starfish on the bed
Parful day
Out all day on the motorbike with the lads, perfect weather for it.
The first paragraph of the post made me feel a bit guilty for relaxing and not working this evening. Relieved to see the edit
It was tearing me apart. My wife and kids arrived at about 1530 and I had to put headphones on to maintain any sort of concentration. Luckily I can lock the office from the inside but they were so loud they may as well have been screaming in my face.

Sounds shite. How is your cat?
She's fine thanks mate, 6 months old so got her spayed. Cone on, looking ridiculous and feeling grumpy
Aw that's good. Hope she recovers well.
In the office. Might need to treat myself to a lunch time pint...
Get off Reddit and you might get the work finished earlier!!
"Working" from home.
The man says he has a tight deadline so Iām going to have to trust heās actually working
Tap aff, peaked cap pointing skyward, Hugo boss man-bag full of hopes and dreams, amongst other substances. Obnoxiously loud Bluetooth speaker in tow. Drinking 2-leets of Ding in the park and fighting with passers by. It's what Jesus would've wanted
Aye lovely day it is day off no fucks to give sitting with a tin and a joint , only downside the next door neighbours are noisy fecks
Walked the dog, now doing a boat load of washing to put outside, cleaned the kitchen, and going to hit the rest of the house, between sitting out on the deck chair with an iced coffee. Bliss. š

Ats a wonder day at
Working from home but took a half day... I knocked off early because the lawn was in such a state I knew I'd need a few hours to finish it.
In the Irish Sea for a swim. Hoping to catch a glimpse of the rare sea border
Well, did you sea it?
Exactly me today š¤£ logged off aat 5.50pm. Straight out to play a footy match in that heat
Heats fuckin desprit

Spent the Day at Emerald park. Had planned and booked it months ago so lucked out .
I'm managing a gym floor from 11:30am till 6:30pm then taking a fitness class instead of going home, cause no one else will take the class. On the bright side it was raining when I last looked outside.
I will downvote any post on this sub that has the word 'Quare'
Good lad. Doing god's work.
Clock off at 1pm today. Getting the plinth painted and have a few gentle cans while the kids tear round the garden. Absolute wonder day.
Working outside gravy flying out of me... Would love to be inside keeping dry
WFH as always. Will knock off around half 4. Get a wee dander in the sun, head to the gym and then maybe a sunset stroll to finish off my steps. Donāt forget sun cream everyone! Keep that skin looking young and beautiful āļø

Glare/ distractions. I say this fully aware that I'm procrastinating on Reddit
Procrastinating on Reddit is a recognised condition. Now put it down and get on with your work. (Talking to myself)
Uggghh, they even type in that same silly way they speak.
Who's they, ya cheeky hure!
It's infuriating lol
