I hate working out holidays

I think you may work at my work...
I say we all survived covid because we survived our staff room first.
We had one of those, he would print off hundreds of pages. I would go to get my 2 pages, printer is not working as it ran out of paper. I refill and it continues his print job. Eventually I get my printing and he hits print again and someone else fills it for him as they need it.
The printer was in a teams office and they were constantly refilling it when it stopped. I was having a bad day and just said I was sick of him basically blocking use of the printer for hours at a time. I told him he needed to refill it and let other people use it as well.
The other team stopped filling it for him too, he went over thinking it would be all done and it was barely started. He genuinely couldnt see why we wouldnt do it for him anymore.
That’s where follow me printing really comes into its own. You send something to print and it gets queued, but until you physically go to the printer and swipe your card to start it printing, no more piles of anybody else’s printing, if it is out of paper and you fill it only you job comes out.
We had that option and it was when I went to get mine it was always still printing his crap or stopped as it ran out.
I'm a little bit creative so I once designed a Christmas card for the girl I was seeing. My then workplace had a top-of-the-range printer.
I felt immense satisfaction in sneaking in, getting it to the right size, colour, on stiff paper, and it came out perfectly first time.

She thought it came from a shop 
Which means he must have physically gone to the printer
Why can no one remember anything? I send round important updates that affect the work we do by email. I have a folder that I put them all in so I can go back to them. Time will pass and people start asking questions as if I never sent an update. If I can remember this stuff and store it away for those times where I can’t quite remember, why can’t anyone else? Obviously no one can remember everything but it’s maddening when people claim they’re not communicated with properly, when actually they either don’t read my updates or don’t take in any of the information I give them.
"That door has been left open again."
"Did you shut it?"
"No."
"Did you shut it?"
"No."
At my work we take it turns being on call, it’s me tomorrow and my work colleague had all morning to do her bit but no she’s left stuff on there for me to sort tomorrow 
so clearly wasn’t doing any work this am as it wouldn’t have been left! Typical lazy a! she also logged out early after our pm meeting!

My team leader had no management experience when he was appointed. He is a decent guy but he has ADHD, no support from his senior management and his co-manager (we are split into two teams) is an old army bore who wants to be in charge but not actually manage people. Team leader had two weeks holiday only a month after having another two weeks holiday, and then immediately went on six weeks jury duty which it appears he opted for rather than the usual two weeks. I have been told anecdotally that he said he wanted a break.
Someone has ducked up which means none of our overtime or leave authorisations can be done until our team leader does them when he gets back. I’m livid about it so I‘ve decided to rack up TOIL and use it at weekends when they struggle for cover because they didn’t recruit enough people and haven’t ensured casual staff have made themselves available.
I’m just so annoyed about the chronic mismanagement. It’s actually a lovely job and very rewarding but the crap management make it a trial.

That's insane about the overtime and leave authorisations needing to wait until the manager is back! Don't they have a process where someone can over ride the settings so it goes to someone else? What if some one was unexpectedly off sick for months?
That was meant to happen apparently, but for some reason hasn‘t worked and the more senior managers have just shrugged and said ‘HR are useless’.
how happy i have been having 2 weeks off and how much i'm dreading to the point i feel sick going back next week
Someone asked for my help. I told her I didn’t know the answer but pointed her in the direction of who would. She replied “I’ll put it in the x chat and see if someone can find out for me” with a sarcastic smiley face at the end.
Lazy witch sorry I won’t do your work and spoon feed you, I guess
