All the big accounting firms do this.

Need to pre-clear every share purchase before pulling the trigger...and about 1/3 of all shares globally comes back as "Prohibited". Routinely rains on my share yolo'ing parade...

The only restriction we have imposed is that we have a closed period twice a year wherein we may not buy or sell shares of our company. While I do grumble a wee bit, I agree with their terms. But there aren't any rules beyond this stopping our staff buying any other shares (direct competition included). It comes down to conflict of interest, I suppose?
 
Scorched my oven pizza...wasn't paying attention. :(

Yep. It makes sense where I've got direct insight into confidential info...but this stupid thing is very trigger happy on what gets blocked.

It's an industry quirk. I've made my peace with it mostly, but still irritating...tool to preclear stuff is on work laptop...share trading platform on personal. So it's a mega schlepp.

It gets better...close relatives are barred from owning prohibited stocks too.
 
Realizing that I haven’t had dinner yet and that pretty much everything on Uber Eats has already closed.
 
Absolutely bonkers traffic all the way from Somerset West to Benguela Cove - where we turned around and headed home. We were going to a kids party at friends of ours in Hermanus. My daughter was in tears all the way to Rooi Els. so many cars were coming from Hermanus indicating to turn around. Guess whale festival really is one massive traffic jam.

Lived there for two of these so called "festivals". Calling it a festival is an insult to festivals. Total waste of time.

Hmm, need to go to Betty's Bay... Probably still ridiculous along the coastal route?
 
People on my Facebook saying there’s a 20km tailback on R43 already

No. Just reading from folks on Hermanus Facebook groups going nuts about the traffic this weekend.

Last time I went to Hermanus, they was packing up the whale festival, was a day late. No-one told the whales it was over though, they were out in full force showing off

Appropriate thread. The whale festival irritates the hell out of me. It’s just a street market full of tat. Come to Hermanus any other time and have a leisurely stroll and a bite to eat. No idea why anyone would suffer the traffic and the crowds for that schit.

People are a bunch of [-]sheep[/-] goats. You put up a sign and they will come
 
Coastal route was fine. Very enjoyable drive in a coupe with the sunroof open. That belongs in things that please me thread. Loved it.
