There may be someone ‘on call’, and right now their weekend is going really badly.
Or you are right and someone isn’t going to need coffee to feel wide awake on Monday morning when they see that email.

There should (rightly) be some big time panicking going on right now. Had it happen in district nursing and it was a shitshow of managers appearing out of the woodwork looking for someone low-paid to blame.
I didn’t find it funny that I’d warned them before and they ignored me.

Heh, reminds me of the time I went to Toronto for a weekend to go to a fellow blogger’s birthday party.
Bloody good times that all seem to have passed (for me at least)
And yes, I also love AFK.

Excellent news. After a four year wait I’m getting my hernia fixed.
Consultation/pre-op/ operation all whizzing past in three weeks.
I love the NHS (obviously) but it is weird at times.
You’re going to get plenty of practice in self-administering eyedrops.

I love having friends I can tag in for expert info in relevant conversations 😊

I’m aromantic and my sense of smell is rubbish…
…so I don’t know how aromatic this aromantic is.

I mean, the alternative headline could be ‘Truss supports rehabilitated offender in small business’, but I suppose ‘Yob’ tells us what to think.
(Not for a *second* defending Truss, she should get in the sea, it’s more about me hating on UK print media, and I know they go after the left even more)

It’s that, or she is the new Doctor, but they are waiting to see on Disney renewing/scheduling before pulling the trigger because, if the next season starts production in late 26/early 27 then Piper may have other roles and won’t want to commit to a full season.

Nah. The government will act all *Picachu shocked face* when skin cancers start to rise. Then the medical journals will show how it’s related to poverty, then the government will tell the NHS to deal with it ‘funded by efficiency savings’. If there even is an NHS by then.

It was only the other day that I read the research into how a ship’s anchor chain, just by rusting normally, can evacuate enough oxygen from the room it’s kept in to make it fatal in 10-16 hours.
(I had a very little bit of confined area rescue training - mostly ‘leave it to HART’)

We number our rooms at work. Room 222 is the ‘Desmond’ room.

Part of my current work is stopping them from making explosives. Or nicking our radioactive sources.
Honestly a bit of a shame as blowing up a bit of the local park was good fun.
We were disgusted when someone killed the local flamingos though. Flamingos in East London was weird and good.

Well, that’s a quality education right there! I’d probably struggle with a butterfly knife now, let alone as a kid.

No, last time I went there I wanted to die because of all my old toys on display.
I mean in the 80’s my metalwork teacher let me make (and keep) a dagger.
And I remember the bait catapults well.
Ah… a different age.
(Thinking back, I’ve only been stabbed twice. So far)

Yep. Last years crisis was a student grabbing a knife from a kebab shop to go after someone.
This years is four students expelled and is being seriously investigated by police, and it involves mobile phones and videos of a certain nature.
It’s really not good.
But no pregnancies this year!

Ooof. That’s harsh.
I’d also be out of a job really quickly, as I’d probably throw them back before thinking through the consequences.
And the parents here complain about some really petty bullshit already, so I dread to think about an actual genuine complaint. 😬

It’d be a nice break from two-hundred eleven year olds shouting ‘skibidi’ and trying (hilariously) to square up against you.
Give me demons and marsh creatures or the things trying to break through the corridors of time any day. 😉

Totally with Timothy there given that I now work in a school.

We used to get stressed out that people were treating the torment nexus as a guide for things to make. Now it turns out they view the torment nexus as a woke piece of liberal crap, and want us all to hold their beer while they go so much further.

*thanks for the post.
Damn autocorrect.

Then I shall stand corrected. 🫡
Although, not going to be impressed with another type of DRM*, “I’m not pirating, I’m just training an AI”
(*’jokes’ aside, I just wish we could just dump DRM in the sea, and my technical skills aren’t good enough to evaluate to pros/cons, so that is for the post)

I’d also say that for a lot of the YouTube I follow it *could* be TV. Old fashioned TV where an expert teaches you something they are passionate about without needing to ‘gift shoppe sketch’ it, skip technical stuff, or spend 80% of it on someone’s tragic backstory.

Gonna add DRM to that list. Sure, you can get a cheap e-reader, but without technical skills or hoping the publisher sells it non-DRMed, huge numbers of books are out of reach.
(Not just kindle, what is the licensing cost for adobe’s DRM scheme for hardware devices?)
