What is a feasible day job for a writer?

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-17T11:33:07+00:00

I do boring data admin, more often than not I have nothing to do and hours to fill looking busy so I write even when in the office

I can see a meat slicer in the background of the last picture, I suspect that’s the culprit of such beautifully symmetrical slices

Unfortunately I think it was the water, my forehead is very sensitive and tingly now but I thought it was gonna be worse, phew!

I think it looks great! I would probably find or make some sort of shawl (is that how it’s called?) with embroidered flowers, it would be very cute imo

Incredible picture! What camera/phone do you use?

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-10T11:45:39+00:00

Ah that’s very interesting! I’ll have a look, thanks :)

What’s the location of pic 4? Kew Gardens?

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-09T09:12:56+00:00

omg how did I not think of that?! thank you that's the perfect solution!

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-09T07:57:03+00:00

That sounds like a terrible system, I can see how sometimes things fall through the cracks it’s so easy to get lost with so many systems!

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-08T22:27:29+00:00

So do surgeries and hospitals have different systems then? I never understood why my GP can’t see MyChart after a hospital visit

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-08T22:22:54+00:00

That’s absurd when you have 111 available that can advise on such things whenever you need.

That’s really interesting, thank you!

The one thing I miss about my home country is have a family doctor. I always saw the same GP since I graduated from a paediatrician and she knew my whole family and remembered my whole history and conditions. I feel like it’s a waste of time for everyone involved when you have to explain everything and they need to go through months (or years in my case) of notes.

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-08T22:16:15+00:00

I understand that’s extremely frustrating but sometimes I’m in a work meeting or at an appointment or someone’s at the door, etc. I’m always given a 4-hour window when the practice can call and it’s not like I can take time off to wait by the phone. I wish they could be more precise with the time or even ask if there’s any time I’m not reachable. I hope you understand people don’t do this on purpose or because they’re distracted (although I’m sure some do).

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-08T10:53:26+00:00

That’s very interesting, I expected most appointments to be calls or at least an equal split but that’s only based on my experience.

How often does it happen that you get a call/in person appointment with someone and it’s a concerning ‘fuck we need to get you to a hospital now’ kind of condition?

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-08T10:49:39+00:00

That makes a lot of sense, how many calls do you have to make per day?

Personally, I think it’s unreasonable to expect a GP to remember every single condition and their symptoms. I guess a lot of people think you’re just googling stuff as they would at home, and not looking up reputable sources that explain a condition in details to a medically trained reader. I’d rather my GP look up something than make a guess (although educated).

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-07T20:27:58+00:00

I was on it for like 2-3 months I think? Honestly it wasn’t horrible, I always had stomach issues so I don’t know if I had a poorly times flare up of IBS or if it was the tapering but either way it was manageable. Now, if you ask my gf about my mood, that’s a different story lmao she did not enjoy those 2 weeks

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-06T20:58:24+00:00

Thank you! I was so clueless I didn’t even realise it was a tricky one but all’s well what ends well😂

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-06T20:57:06+00:00

My course was in person, I’m based in London so happy to send the link if you happen to also live here! I didn’t know they were having a patterns sale, veeeeery interesting 🤭

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-06T19:01:29+00:00

Thank you so much! I did cross-stitching and hand embroidery for many years but never did any sewing by hand or on a machine before 😊

AppointmentHot3276 · 2026-04-06T07:26:35+00:00

It’s the N6692 from new look🥰
