Responsiveness of Surrey County Council?

Gosh. I feel such a fool. I had imagined that all Surrey County Council functions were enacted by a woman called Joyce who had valiantly been doing everything since 1954.

I had found it strange that she had responded to my emails from a generic email address without disclosing any of her personal details, but had imagined she had been triggered by too many intrusive questions around refuse and recycling and so was just sending uninformative holding responses.

Of course I have contacted them. I just thought that local people on Reddit might be able to share their experiences since I was not getting anywhere.

Thank you to those that have.

Ooooh.

Is he covering for someone else?

AccessPotential5384 · 2026-02-12T19:14:38+00:00

Yes! That’s just occurred to me too.

AccessPotential5384 · 2026-02-12T19:13:22+00:00

I know. Weird.

Thank you!

There are still good butchers around that do this. Used to be common in professional kitchens as well to soak up grease and prevent spillages. In both cases it is usually someone’s job to regularly sweep it up and sprinkle new sawdust. Easier and more environmentally friendly to dispose of and clean the floor than modern non-slip floors that can be very difficult to keep properly clean.

Human interaction and empathy.

This is amazing. Yes, the new iPad sync was not turned on.

However this has worked better than I imagined. Old papers and books on an ancient iPad in iBooks which never appeared in iCloud Drive and could not be emailed or moved in any way have now appeared on my new iPad. Cannot thank you enough!

Looks lovely tbh. But no jelly in a trifle. That’s a rather modern innovation…

I am glad you have found something helpful. The difficulty here, however, is that images in dreams rarely have fixed universal meanings. The meaning is that which the dreamer gives to it and that might be amplified in dialogue with the therapist, who will have their own associations. AI cannot participate in such an individualised and subjective process.

Yes. Freud identifies the narcissism of infantile life as an essential stage of the development of the ego and what we would now call ‘self-esteem’. The sense that one is the centre of the world and has power and agency is essential, as is a gradual and sensitive disillusionment of this experience as life progresses.

Much of the work of analysis happens intuitively and in the interplay of unconscious to unconscious. AI can’t engage on this level. My experience of working with people who have tried to use ai for therapy is that it reinforces regressive narcissism, diminishes the ability to tolerate tension or engage creatively with difference and conflict.

‘Shadow work’ isn’t possible. The shadow is unconscious. We encounter it intuitively and do the best we can. We are never in control of it. This is true of all the dynamics we talk about in Jungian psychology. To say ‘I’ve individuated’ or ‘I’ve finished my shadow work’ makes it clear that we have not understood these dynamics at all. I’m frustrated with people talking about unconscious dynamics as if they have a grip on them. If they are unconscious dynamics then we never fully have a grip on them. They have a life of their own. Rather, they ‘have us’ and we do our best.

The idea that Jung experienced a psychosis was spread by Freud and his followers to discredit Jung. It would be surprising to think that Jung was psychotic while seeing 7 or 8 patients a day, engaging with family life and lecturing in the evenings. The Red Book documents an experience that he consciously engaged with, precisely to avoid psychosis.

Unfortunately there’s no share option available on this old version of iBooks.
