Now that the streets are empty, let's pave all those effing potholes!

I am amazed to say that Neath Port Talbot council did just that between Monday and this morning - normally they leave it for six months so they can have nice big children of their own before they send a man with a bucket of tarmac ...

I'm amazed.

We have been waiting more that two years, and last week they did a complete resurface of about 500 yards of potholed road.

You only get to wait 2 years before they repave your roads--better yet, a resurfacing job??
Where I live, we're lucky if it's once every two decades. There's been talks going on for all my life of widening a highway, and I'm nearing 50.
What is this magical place you speak of?

Ha, ha. This is not the norm, but the council find they have nothing else to do at the moment.

I would explain what "clandestine" means, but it's a secret.

I'm still trying to find our what "Je ne sais quoi" means. No one I ask seems to know.

Hi All,
My current employer (for how long but that another issue!) is trying to move to having all 'stuff' online (well lets give them some credit!) GIT was used to track some files (not source code!) and now are we use Sharepoint, first thing is this right, I was fairly certain we shouldn't use GIT but is Sharepoint the right thing to use?

Kneejerk reaction:
They are going to make you redundant, so who cares if they are going to screw stuff up. You won't be there to endure the pain.
Real message:
Actually, I know nothing about Sharepoint except the fact that other parts of my company use it and I sometimes have to view a document linked via an email.
Seriously, it shows your character that even though they are letting you go, you care enough to worry about how they move forward.

Well it's my role, so they might find something else for me to do. In my experience trying to leave stuff your doing in a goodish shape can do you some good (I don't need no negative Karma, man!)

Karma aside... that's the difference between professionals and [fill the gap with your favourite word here, I just want to keep it respectful].
You don't do your work well for them, you do it for yourself. They pay you for it until the last day.
Ethics or fairness about the redundant job... that's another topic.
But I do respect your position here. 
M.D.V. 
If something has a solution... Why do we have to worry about?. If it has no solution... For what reason do we have to worry about?
Help me to understand what I'm saying, and I'll explain it better to you
Rating helpful answers is nice, but saying thanks can be even nicer.

Well I have to admit, it's not my office thats caused it, it's the incompetance of those higher in the food chain, not knowing what or how we work. This has taught me a lesson though, take pride in what you personally do. I haven't been given the official chop yet, just notice. So the climate being what it is I am preparing for the worst. I think I would have left anyway, I wasn't really making use of the skills I have... Plus a comment from my employer saying I did shoddy work on my way out might not be nice!

My experience of SharePoint is that it is the storage equivalent of a Black Hole. Once a document has been saved, it passes some kind of Event Horizon and is lost for ever, I do not know how many hours I have spent looking for documents in it only to admit defeat and rewrite them from scratch.

@Mark-Wallace said something good about a product that you hate?! This has got to be one for the record books!

Well at least it wasn't Christian Graus - that would have required a universe reboot with a different operating system ...

Same here, it so secure even the depositer can't get it back!!!

For non-source-code files, I have to admit that SP works well -- as long as you switch to "classic sharepoint view" every time you open it (otherwise you have to deal with all the time-consuming and energy-draining recent "improvements").

SharePoint seems like the right thing you are looking for:
This is a decent informational article:
What Is SharePoint? - dummies[^]
article said: SharePoint is most often used for the storing of version-controlled documents, such as Word documents and Excel worksheets. In many environments, email is used for passing documents back and forth between users. The potential for mixing up different versions of the same document is considerable. Also, storing multiple copies of the same document takes up a lot of disk space. Because SharePoint provides a single source for storing, viewing, and updating documents, many of these issues are eliminated.

I despise SharePoint (and GIT), but it is the right tool for some things. Mostly things which no one will ever want to read.

Has your employer switched to Office 365? If so, then SharePoint is definitely the right way to go. While you're at it, pull up Teams and start playing with it.

Oh have we ever, spent most of the day in Teams calls Q&A with the a suit etc.
