I was unemployed for three months and couldn’t for the life of me get a job that I wanted. Finally was offered four jobs all within the space of about a week and a half. Just so happens I had started one of them after letting the first two down then the job I really wanted was offered to me. That was an awkward…

This really reminds of the show here in UK called Watchdog. There’s a section where they try to catch dodgy builders/workmen/scammers in the act and often the builders etc are completely without remorse “I’ve done nothing wrong” like you have described unless they are trying to work it out in their favour. .If I were…

I’ve had second hand experience of this working - I work in a small IT department and I guess you could call my colleague my mentor and he advised someone to put a drive in the freezer. It was a personal drive so not related to the business and he wasn’t too concerned about getting the data off, he definitely didn’t…

prefer the UK yellow, red and purple packaging but this article has made me think of how awesome a deep fried Cadbury’s Creme Egg would be. (I am Scottish and love everything deep fried and also know of no restraint)

Yeah I suck on some hard sweets and that seems to relieve it. Find it is worse landing than taking off though.

So this is what I feel! I work as Desktop Support at an outsourcing IT company so have been moved about quite a bit. Doing things like backfill cover for people on holidays and the getting involved in the odd project has been good but many times I’ve felt like surely there must be someone better than me at this…

It all works really well until the bumbling fool tumbles back and he’s surrounded by a grey background that isnt in the car then the next frame he’s back in the car. Did that really make it into the movie?!

Bike. Its a nice ride along the River Tay for about 20 minutes (or 15 or a bit less if I beast it). Weather may start to get worse so might be forced onto the bus. Moving soon and don't know how long my commute will be, hopefully less than 15 miles so I can still cycle it.

I feel a lot of peer pressure is in our heads (is that the definition of peer pressure?). As you've said being honest is generally met with understanding so is this really peer pressure or perceived peer pressure? Is there a grey area between "what I think my friends think" and "what they actually think" where peer…

Not sure if this is counts as British humour, or any type of humour really. I'm having a really hard time picking up on any humorous tones in her voice, like she isn't being dry or cheeky or showing any kind of sarcasm and I'd expect something considering this is "News". Unless she is just really bad at saying funny…

I get paid weekly and bills are monthly and spread throughout the month which makes it difficult to track. I created a gdoc spreadsheet with four tabs - income in one section, two columns for outgoings in another section on each tab and each week the second column of outgoings changes depending on how many weeks…

Its good to hear someone (well not good, but comforting at least) has had the same problem and I believe there are probably millions of other adults the same. I don't think I was ever miles ahead of the class just in the top percentage. Until about 3rd year (in Scotland so I was about 14) I was getting by purely on…

VOTE: PLEX

I am pretty bad at choosing gifts, sometimes its because there is too much choice and sometimes its because the person is really difficult to buy for because they have everything and I don't do token gifts. Perhaps I do things the lazy way but I just ask people what they want. I don't think the stress of worrying…

definitely a woman who thinks too literally

I normally put my relationship status up there once it can be classed as a relationship and most of my friends already know about it. At this point though I mainly use facebook for real friends and some acquaintances but I feel no remorse deleting people I haven't been in contact with for some time. If my profile…

So glad I haven't heard about this sort of thing in the UK. Religious folks here (seem to be) much more reserved and keep to themselves. It might be because someone claiming to exorcise a "gay demon" or anything as crazy would be laughed out of here so fast. Or maybe I'm wrong and just don't hear about religious…

two swordfish swimming towards each other, I guess the owner of this eye lost

I thought I recognised that workspace from the photo alone (specifically the speakers and microphone), I watch Marques's videos on YouTube sometimes - good reviews and comparisons etc! Box of Cheerios is missing though! Not sure I find workspace porn so interesting but I like it more because its minimal rather than…

My first thought was, wow eating so much is such a problem now its considered a disease! Then rationality took over and I realise its probably not strictly a disease, just under the purview of a section of the government with that in its name.
