How do you maintain your professional integrity at work in the face of the crippling incompetence of your coworkers compromising everything you try to do?

I’d love if CW offered a non-DHL option. My Twelve is sitting somewhere in a DHL warehouse with no information about when one of the couriers will deliver it. It was meant to be here yesterday and wasn’t, and as it’s 5:15 pm it’s not happening today either.

Obnoxious people doing obnoxious things because they think it's amusing, and subsequently taking moral umbridge when being called out on said obnoxiousness. Bizarre.

Trying to enter the public ballot for tickets for Wimbledon next year; yes you have to apply that early! There seems to be a problem with the system, I've tried a number of times now. Getting rather f@£$ed off. Last time I was there was a long time ago; I slept on the pavement to get tickets. There was no internet back then just a much bigger spirit of adventure. I miss those times...

At the weekend I was feeling all smug with myself as I’d found a bargain genuine Bremont nato on eBay. Advertised as 20mm, used but excellent condition and in the photos it looked unworn.

Arrived today and it’s an extra long Bremont nato that doesn’t fit. I had forgotten they offer different lengths and I hope the seller wasn’t being misleading by failing to mention this in their listing.

So I’ve now got an unworn genuine Bremont nato that can’t really be considered a bargain if I can’t use it.
