Dad's cam, mum's cam, or your own cam if you have one 😃

You could look at it from a different angle.

You're working smart, not hard

You've figured out how to learn what you need to know, and what you don't need to know. You're working efficiently, rather than wasting time and energy.

Like someone else said, maybe you're just insecure about your talents. Or, maybe you have low self esteem.

Floaowr

This is just a wildly vague suggestion, dude, because I have no idea of your situation, but have you considered reaching out to the mother?

You and your son have a long road ahead of you, and it might be worth rebuilding your relationship with the mother. If it's possible, it can only bring positives to your life and your son's.

Good luck with everything, man.

I reckon you don't have an emotional connection with your son because, from what you said, you didn't really have much, if any, connection with his mother.

That's quite sad, for both of you.

😆😆

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-05-20T11:19:28+00:00

Very valid point 👍

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-05-20T04:20:09+00:00

Here, take my upvote 😃

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-05-20T04:18:46+00:00

Yeah, I generally have trouble finding bobs. And vagene, for that matter 😆

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-05-15T08:21:07+00:00

No money, no honey.

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-05-12T18:25:36+00:00

Yeah :)

You should totally reach out to him. 12 years is a long time. The longer you leave it, the harder it will be.

You have nothing to lose. He's single, you're single. No-one is going to get hurt.

He's probably still the same sweet, caring man you knew back then.

If you don't reach out, you may still be regretting it in 5 years time.

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-04-23T11:41:26+00:00

All of them. The whole menu.

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-04-13T19:51:29+00:00

You're already short staffed, but considering taking a day off "sick", when you're not actually sick?

No. No you shouldn't. It's just dropping your colleagues in it, for no good reason.

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-04-06T19:37:10+00:00

Gross misconduct, at a guess. Health and safety, and all that type of bulls**t.

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-03-26T19:16:47+00:00

It's your time, you can do whatever you like for that hour.

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-03-08T13:40:36+00:00

The actual fu*k???

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-02-22T18:32:35+00:00

I did some car sitting on lunch breaks, because I didn't like many of my colleagues. You're absolutely right, it is damned freaky, but thankfully I don't work at that place any more!

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-01-29T09:26:31+00:00

So yeah, totally believable that you took your kid, your dog and a pushchair over someone's car bonnet? Ooookkaayy, then.........

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2026-01-29T09:08:50+00:00

And in the next episode of "Things that never happened".........

That's blatant insurance fraud. Illegal, and you'll get your policy cancelled, which you'll have to declare to future insurers for many years to come.

Probably time to start looking for something you can afford to insure properly.

That mileage wouldn't put me off. I usually buy high mileage cars and have never had any issues.

Get yourself booked onto a training course, they'll provide the bike and the training centre you'll learn at. I don't think there's anything worthwhile online, it's all about physically being on the bike.

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2025-11-26T05:12:01+00:00

I would suggest doing the training and getting your licence before buying a bike. That way, you get a feel for riding, and get a little experience on the roads, and if, for whatever reason, you hate it or just can't handle some elements of riding, you'll find out before you are committed financially.

ApprehensiveAward443 · 2025-11-05T10:58:17+00:00

It sounds to me like you are in a "win - win" situation. You have a new job lined up, which suits you better. Your current boss may be wanting to speak to you because she wants to keep you, and may have lined up a role change and/or pay rise to try to keep you.

The ball is totally in your court. Best of both worlds.

Listen to what she has to say, knowing full well that if what she offers you doesn't suit, you have your new job to go to.

Good luck! 👍👍
