A bogus gasman, here to ransack yer hoose.

I’ve done this too. Someone who was not outputting the same amount of work as their colleagues, or when they did it was simple stuff with no real innovative features. The bare minimum.

Pulled logs off their machine, and they spent 4 hours on Google maps (they’re also a taxi driver after hours) and messing about on PayPal for another few hours (they also did some consultancy).

There was around 37 minutes of work done that day.

They were no longer burdened with this job which seemed to interfere with their other evening/weekend jobs.

I just use my teeth and it horrifys anyone I’m with…

Jokes on them though, because I’m the one with an open beer.

I get paid 4 weekly so get 13 pays a year.

Even better if you keep schtoom about it and automate your work from home job allowing you to just chill for most of the day.

In Europe over 60,000 people died in 2022 due to heatwaves.

People are blind to these deaths because they’re not being taken out by a single devastating event, but rather a series of small events the people brush off as “they were going to die anyway”.

It’s one of the reasons I’ve not, and will not have children. This is getting exponentially worse and I couldn’t image the horror that our future will face.

The only benefit to an automatic is being able to eat a burrito while driving.

Still doesn’t outweigh the niceness of driving a manual.

I work on websites and have carried out extensive user testing to get the right non-binary honorific, and it ended up being Mx.

Implemented it on every site I’ve worked on now.

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.

I thought 500 quid seemed a bit light to be mending generational wealth accumulation.

This seems much more in line with what I would expect.

Note, I’m a statistician, but don’t do maths outside of 9-5 /s

Snap on asthma/heart/immune triad.

COVID sucked way more than I thought it would, people just don’t understand that some folks genuinelys till struggle with it. Hope you and pup feel better soon

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.

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.

That’s delightful.

I do have to laugh at the zealots as they do pick and choose what bits of the bible they live their lives by. It’s almost as if they heard someone else say something and took it as gospel without doing their own research.

I have picked up a copy of the bible, with the aim of understanding it to be able to have an informed discussion on religious arguments.

This person did seem to pull the “woe is me” threads in her text messages to other colleagues, apparently seeking out sympathy.

Also, if they’ve got nothing but sick kids, then a death or near death is the next step up to garner sympathy because the status quo is sick kids.

This may be a good guess to why she might have done it.

If you don’t have much of a maternal instinct, crying babies are pretty annoying.

But for the majority of us who don’t like kids, we just ignore it or if in charge of said infant, try to settle them rather than murder them.

So you adopt children in care? Or at least financially support them?
