A bogus gasman, here to ransack yer hoose.
Thanks! I’m now working in a new role where there is no more ridiculous pressure or wild expectations and have been able to commit to working on a degree (because I fucked up the first one).
Work shouldn’t leave you panicking on a monday morning or crying into your lunch.
My old boss gave me a load of shit for writing down tasks that I had to do. He just couldn’t comprehend that it wouldn’t stick if it wasn’t written down.
He took my book from me, and then asked me to do a bunch of complicated stuff each with its own deadline.
He then got annoyed when I didn’t do the stuff because I hadn’t written it down because he took my book.
He got sacked, I got promoted.
This is true, they try to hide this type of activity, and if you fight it they’ll take you down too. Source: personal experience.
18°C in the winter, and off completely in the summer.
My biggest fear is that you are aware of everything and can feel the pain when under, but forget it all - men in black style - to leave a relatively ok experience if not a little sick feeling.
That’s a great idea.
At 14/15 you want to fool about if you have an equally young partner and there’s nothing really criminal about it - just discovering sexuality.
14 and 30 though really does have a different ring to it and if that’s considered, then credit to the system.
2 of the rentals I’ve lived in had bathroom carpet.
Rentals.
Student accommodation…
They were probably 40% vomit, 25% filth, 25% jizz and 10% actual carpet.
Hahahah, imagine going to another country and trying to pay in another currency and being shocked they wouldn’t accept it.
I can’t even spend Scottish notes in England when it’s all Sterling, never mind trying to pay for a small shop coffee in dollars.
Mine always bites when she’s love drunk. Proper double edged sword.
My apprenticeship is 4 years long and I work 36 hours a week, then need to do the learning and academic work which is around an additional 35 hours a week.
I’m just rolling into year 4 and I’m pretty tired now.
I’m also the only one left, everyone else who started in my cohort has dropped out because of the workload.
This is innovation, and problem solving the small stuff is a very important skill in the modern day work environment.
Do I wasn’t to hand calculate an entire statistical analysis, no. I use excell.
It doesn’t make the work any more or less valid. If you can Google something in under a minute, don’t bother spending a tonne of time trying to remember it.
I live in the UK and was astounded at the sugar consumption when I visited the US.
The most interesting one was bread - it was so sweet, almost like cake, while our bread is just plan savoury bread.
There seems to be an OTT approach to added sweetness that I thought was bad in the UK but is next level in north America.
Another key difference was the milk in coffee shops. I went into Double cup and found some half and half (semi skimmed milk?) and dumped a bunch of it in my coffee. Nope literally half cream half milk. Blllerchhhh.
That just doesn’t even exist over here.
Drinking coke - sugar free or otherwise - right after you brush your teeth will still fuck up your teeth.
It’s rammed full of acid.
When you have 17 planners with 8 pages written in and constant sense of panic over a workload that is never done it’s def beyond the “lol I can’t pay attention sometimes too” crowd. Some people just don’t know what it’s actually like to be neurospicy.
Woman here, and genuinely, I don’t know what’s right.
I can recognise that m>f after puberty gives someone a strength advantage but at the same time it’s hard enough having to transition without feeling even more marginalised by being banned from sports.
Maybe there needs to be just a women’s and open category to recognise the strength handicap that cis women have for certain activities and allow anyone to compete in open, but then there’s the challenge of prize money, viewers etc etc between the two that also needs to be managed appropriately.
At the end of the day, someone isn’t going to be happy and for that there is no good solution, but we need to be doing our best for cis and trans athletes to make sure everyone has a chance to compete in the sports they live.
Chess? Banning trans competitors is fucking idiotic and the chess federation can fuck right off with that implied notion of women being less capable.
If you stop trying to vocalise the words in your head you can really break away from the the time limit and just fly through text.
This is what I do when I’m reading academic papers for writing reports to see if the content is what I need.
Takes a few seconds to scan it, take the understanding and made a decision on if it’s worthwhile or not.
There’s also websites where you can drop text and it will train you to read this way.
I’m the opposite end of that bell curve. Trained relentlessly for years and my 10k is still almost an hour and 20.
During the Reddit protest I got a professional certification. It’s amazing what you can do when you’re not doomscrolling…
I test drove an Alfa Romeo Giulia and it was a shambles from beginning to end.
He pulls the demo car round, and it was out of fuel, had a flat tyre, the engine management light was on, and the oil temp was sky high.
This was the demo car. The one they use to sell people on the brand.
Noped right out of there and bought German.
