New - The things that really annoy you

[Johnny75]

To put it mildly. I thought I was bad with people.

Now they've turned it around like being bad with people means you must be a good dev. Load of fucking bullshit.

Old school industrialist behaviour.

Come on in, man, the Marxist waters are fine…

LinkedIn.

I cannot stand the ego-mania on there.
I get updates from people I have trained and I know to be cabbages and they carry on as if they are Bill Gates. One lad has just invited me to attend his 'Seminar' on Digital Marketing Best Practices. This guy didnt know how to copy-paste when I worked with him...

I get that people need to advertise themselves in order to find work, and I have even had interviews myself from it, but I just find that every time I log in I cringe as there are so many colleagues and ex-colleagues posting absolute bullshit and lies to enhance their profile.

 

[Kenny]

So you trained someone from being like Paddy to being the next Bill Gates?

I wouldn't be annoyed by that, infact I would make it a key part of my C.V and been eternally smug about my own skills

 

[Dublin Drummer Wolf]

I would if it was in any way true...

 

[Kenny]

So you took someone from being a Paddy and made them a cocky Paddy and improved none of their skills?

Call yourself a trainer man? Take a long hard look at yourself. No wonder these folk are having to lie to get anywhere in life...

Spotify continually putting Rage Against The Machine in my daily playlists. When did I even hint that I like these? I do not like them, they are shit and nothing like anything I listen to. Skip.

People who treat LinkedIn like Facebook

Just a victim of an in-house drive by.

RATM are awesome.

RATM are awesome.

Bit repetitive for me. Thought the the rest of the band were excellent with Chris Cornell in Audioslave.

Both excellent, but Rage are practically a pillar of leftist culture over here. Not sure I'd be the radical I am today (relative to your average American liberal) without de la Rocha's bars.

I call that a good thing, others will be appalled.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

I've got Johnny Marr for that, thankyouverymuch.

RATM just isn't my cup of tea at all, none of that kind of music is.

 

[Alan]

No judgement! RATM are really the only "rap-metal" (not what I'd define it as, but hey ho) group that still takes up any space in the public consciousness for a reason.

Nobody's clamoring for a fucking Alien Ant Farm reunion.

 

[Deutsch Wolf]

Well, one person we both know is

Don't remind me who the poor sod is, the second-hand embarrassment would ruin me.

I like some of their stuff and I've no problem with political music but de la Rocha seems to concentrate more on the politics than the music to me.

No "seems to" about it! But that's why I love them.

Faith no More for me.
