After Uni it took a long time. Entry level jobs are hyper competitive. But now I have a good amount of experience, its been a lot easier to find new work. I changed companies this year. I applied to 2 jobs, got offered 2 interviews but by the time the second one invited me to the interview the first one already offered me a job - big confidence boost tbh.

I don't. But I do believe that it should be audited on a Quality Assurance aspect regularly to identify efficiencies and savings. Its a galactic sized organisation, and we owe a lot to that organisation. But it should be supported both financially and operationally (and a part of that is making sure its operating at a high level).

'I feel sick, and I don't think I'm in a position to be able to work. Its company policy to seek a formal sick note to take absence, do you agree I'm sick? If so could you please provide me with a sick note?'

Is it? Top of Everest would be a sensible guess, no?

Strokes and Heart Attacks are category 1 emergencies. Top priority! Is your family member ok!? If that happened and you're family has suffered from it then start with a complaint - https://www.nwas.nhs.uk/contact-us/complaints/

For me I think hate is like a fire - it requires a lot of fuel to keep it going and it tends to harm everyone involved. I honestly can't say I hate anyone - there are people I think Karma should have their way with - but if its beyond my influence (which it always is), I wont hate - I simply don't have the energy.

In the UK we tend to have UHT (ultra heat treated) milk for our 'emergency milk'. There is milk powder but I rarely see it. I did purchase UHT milk during the COVID years but I haven't for a long time now.

Christmas and New Years mostly. Stocks and Shares and my form of Gambling.

Its a great thing for them, it means they can't put in you bigger debt while giving you the illusion you have money to spend.

Just you :D

yup, just don't talk to them. bad people shouldn't stop a good time.

I don't speak on behalf of all gamers, but I include board games and card games into the 'game-o-sphere'. So sure, you can be an absolute gamer at chess.

Someone watching the Mr McMahon documentary on Netflix? I think there was a time where it was strongly aligned, now I think it is loosely aligned.

Congrats. I will say what I've said before, save up for a rainy day fund, mortgage and car down payment. You have money based on your current living situation - but you will need to flock the nest at some point. By all means treat yourself to something to celebrate though.

Oh are you learning about taxes?
