It annoys me that I'm off work all week but I can't stop thinking about it, worrying that something will have gone wrong etc. Also the dread of what sort of mess I'll come back to .

It takes me half a week to get past this. It really annoys me.

FFS!

Today's BS term "Hockey stick". Probably been around for a while but first time I've come across it is today.

You must not play much hockey, I guess?

I want some context

"And then I hit the ball with my hockey stick" seems legit

Only air hockey. For those who don't know what this is (hockey stick rather than air hockey) it is basically a spike (the angled part of the stick compared to the straight part). So why not just say a strawberry floating spike rather than introducing new terms that mean the same thing but are longer?

I'm so confused

I don't think spikes are allowed in hockey

It's a term to describe a very sharp spike when talking about graphs. Mostly used to describe the jump in temperature associated with global warming...

It describes the whole graph rather than the 'spike' so it makes sense in that circumstance.

Accidentally using the Sparkling Water dispenser at work instead of the Still Water dispenser

A sparkling water dispenser? Somebody's doing well!

Sparkling water The dispenser should just lead straight to the drain, surely?

It’s not that fancy, we’ve got one here and this office is a shithole deathtrap.

Sparkling Water.

Our dispensers give out cold still water or boiling water.

They're called "taps"

We use the water from the hot tap to save wear and tear on the cold tap.

He is in Wales. I don’t think they have taps yet. They get cold water from the River Severn and get hot water when they leave it out in the sun for a bit.
