Day-tah
But I’m from the UK. Anything else would sound bizarre with my accent
That was an interesting read. Are you aware of any cities or towns which are built in a more European style with pedestrians in mind? I’m actually considering a few jobs in the states right now but I’m quite put off by how car reliant everything is.
Nah it’s a strangely worded title you’re good
That’s true but I found that nothing was really so urgent that it particularly mattered. If it did, there should be a 24 hour contingency anyway.
I guess the logic is, and I don’t agree, that people will burn out through the day and spend the last couple hours phoning it in. That’s not my experience of what actually happens but I think that’s what some people think.
I worked a 4 day week for years (4*10 hours) with my old employer and it was fantastic. And I can say for sure that it didn’t affect productivity for me or my team.
I don’t have kids but several of my colleagues did and it was a game changer for them. Especially the one whose partner worked for the same organisation, who could sync it up to save an absolute fortune on childcare (which is absurdly expensive here).
Another colleague was a single mother and had the choice to choose which days she did each week, meaning she could do more with her child and make it to events and such. I have no doubt that that will have a long term positive impact on her son too.
For me as a childless person I could use 2 days of annual leave to get 5 days off straight. £40 return ticket to Spain or Italy, a cheap hotel, and you can have a lovely little holiday any time of year.
I had to leave for unrelated personal reasons but that shift pattern was glorious. No less work got done and everyone was happier. And it turns out - surprise surprise - when your staff are happy they produce better work.
It’s such a no brainer. But I won’t get excited, because a certain generation seems to take any improvement for the younger generation as some kind of personal attack.
Not including work devices - probably my old university files. I intentionally wrote about topics relevant to the career I wanted (which I now have) and they’re genuinely useful for going back and referring to.
Fair enough. Well hopefully it helps some Europeans out! I only noticed it by accident because I sit by the back toilets due to IBS anyway.
Edit: I’ve done this with easyJet, Wizzair and Vueling - for reference
I always buy an aisle seat so I can stretch my legs and get up whenever I need.
I’ve also learned that most airlines (at least here in Europe) fill their seats from the front back. So if you sit near the back and keep an eye on the back row, sometimes it’s completely unoccupied. In which case I move there and can practically lie down.
In fairness, this isn’t massively new and I was taught similar back when I was in school. It was genuinely a really good life skill to teach to kids and it was politically neutral.
I went to a state school in the UK and remember being taught media literacy, this would’ve been just over 10 years ago now. I don’t know if it was part of the curriculum or just something they decided to add (while it was a state school, it was a very good one in a wealthy area).
We were told to read headlines and guess what the story was about, then we were shown a neutral article that objectively described what happened to highlight how misleading the headlines and pictures were. Among other things, but that sticks out in my mind.
I honestly think it was a fantastic life skill to teach.
It was neither the stabbing nor the vigil.
It’s uneducated white thugs who have been told for years that immigrants and Muslims are the reason they’re struggling.
They get incurable cancer
May one shoelace be permanently tighter than the other just enough to be annoying.
I’m not in an appropriate position mentally for a relationship. One day I want to settle down and do the whole wife/kids thing but now’s not the time to get into anything.
Yeah I’m potentially moving abroad next year and will have to find a home for her, and I’m cautious to give her to certain people for that reason.
I know all cats like to get under your feet but mine is an absolute jedi master at knowing exactly where to be to inconvenience you the most. I don’t know how she does it. She just knows exactly where I’m going to go so she can be directly in the way. You’d think she’d learn after being accidentally kicked a few times but nope.
IMO it’s KFC but that would be a controversial choice (UK)
…okay fine, I have a lump around my ass ring and maybe this convinced me to finally get it checked
