A bogus gasman, here to ransack yer hoose.

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.

You can get as good as that as standard in the UK.

I get 36 days PTO, the legal minimum is 28 days. 25% bonus. Pension contribution, I pay 4%, company pays 8%. Health insurance included, but the NHS will cover most stuff.

This isn’t even a senior level position, it’s bottom level. Seniors get way more.

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.

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 see you also are a project manager.

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.

That makes so much sense.

My pre pandemic job was amazing because of the people I worked with. They were great fun and we would also go out together at the weekend.

After lockdown load sof people moved on to higher paid roles as did I.

My last 2 jobs have been friendless, even the hybrid one because even if you’re in the office, others are out so you’re still not forming relationships.

It would have worked better if it was an “everybody works from home Monday and Friday” but that removes all the flex…

Today in my remote job I have no work friends, but I also got a dog, spend loads of time with my new friends (neighbours who also have dogs), am completing a full time degree while working full time bacuse I have no commute and generally I’m significantly happier.

My house is actually tidy too because my 5 min breaks are tidy up breaks rather than piss about distracting someone else breaks.

This happened in my old place - also on the business side. Asked for python, got it, then had it immediately removed because of security risks.

I told the head that I could still access tables and shit via excel if I wanted so what does it matter? He didn’t realise this, and asked that I told no-one else it could be done. FFS.

Companies pay when people make mistakes.

Why the fuck would you fire someone when you just paid for a lesson that prevents further mistakes?

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.

If I could fit five days work into two days and have it fly under the radar, I’d do exactly the same.

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.

Totally agree… This person does a shit load of work building and maintaining an app, they sure as hell should get paid for it.
