Well - its just shy of 1 month remaining in my current job and I must say that the "Screw you guys - I'm leaving" attitude has now set in.

I've just come away from my Boss's office with instruction to alter the wording of a report away from "exhibts a strong negative corrolation" to "exhibits a strong corrolation" as apparently negative is a negative word?!?!

Obviously explaining that there is standard way of describing trend data was lost on him so we ended up agreeing (in the loosest sense of the word) that positive trends are OK, but negative trends are...... well negative!

I'm tempted to just plot the data as 1/y and report a strong positive trend to keep him happy

Just to top it off - I'm been asked to list all the unseen risks in my project before handover ...... I think they're unseen for a reason?!

I really cba with my job (albeit a chushy at home type) at the moment and I want to leave home, move in with the bf and get a job down there but I feel like I'd be ever so slightly bonkers to make myself voluntarily unemployed in these times.

My boss (my dad) does things like your boss does and it drives me insane. I got "talked at" for pressing "Enter" 4 times when leaving a signature space between "Yours sincerely" and my name at the bottom of a letter.

Just to quote this first... that is correct if you are printing it off as you should then print it off and sign it before sending... possibly 5 though if you got a big siggy lol.

This post actually cheered me up as it was quite commical.... i understand what you are saying and my jobs the same atm... they expect the earth from me but i can only do what i can and it's actually making me really tired...
