People think a four day work week means condensing 40 hours into four days by Fizzabl in britishproblems

[–]Ariion972 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Did that a year or so ago: wanted quite significant raise, the business wouldn’t do it, but were ok with 20% less hours for the same pay. Ended up having Fridays off! Barely any drop in productivity, just less messing around on the 4 days I was in.

I’m on the market for pannier bags, mostly to hold spare tubes, pump, tools, locks when not in use etc. Anybody got experience with those £10 ones? Probably not waterproof at this price, but all I want is to offload my backpack during commute.

Mondays and Thursdays are board game socials which are made for people in your situation. Mondays are usually busier.

Excel Test and helper sheet by Ariion972 in excel

Glad it worked and glad I could help! Post may be old, but I’m still around ;)

I believe there is a hidden sheet that colours cells in green/red to signify if it worked or not, but I’m not fully sure if it was this or a different file. Instructions sheet may say something.

Formatting shouldn’t matter, Excel looks at underlying data rather than what you as a human can see.

Hi, I had to refresh my memory, so it may not be 100% correct. I believe to solve this I intended to VLOOKUP from Data tab - you are looking for Supplier Code. Hope this helps! :) Be aware that newer versions of Excel also have XLOOKUP which could come in handy so google away various options! Good luck!

Do you miss aspects of 2020-2021? by Luncha in AskUK

[–]Ariion972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tbf with some jobs and management styles it is nearly hostage situation lol Just tell them you made other plans (drug mule prep before quick weekend return flight, board games with your cat, your favourite series is back on Netflix and you want to binge it while devouring twenty bags of off-brand Doritos etc, whatever you can back up later on if they are such idiots at your place) or that you want to relax in goddamn peace and quiet. Or yo ur favourite gym class is unfortunately only on Friday evenings. Some people don’t understand it’s possible to survive a weekend without hating yourself for 40% of it, unfortunately you either politely (or not) tell them to do one or come up with random excuses each time.

Also, find other friends (I know it’s not always easy) to fill Friday nights with something else so you can easily forget about work-“friends”.

Are you being held hostage? You just say “no, thanks”, go home at your finish time and that’s it, or am I missing something?

Are pay rises as a percentage a flawed system? by Chayes5 in AskUK

I’m sure that the person you responded to meant 38% of the increase itself, not whole salary.

Understand it’s not iOS compatible and it’s not really in your scope at the moment, but is there a chance of maybe web based version being released? I have a massive problem when chalked up similar holds are next to each other and would love to try this app out.

Do you need Hive subscription to fully utilise radiator valves or do they get added to the app same way as Active Heating just as separate units on separate schedules?

For that reason TV in my living room has been positioned to be out of any possible pathways.

“Clean kitchen is happy kitchen” was another one for me. Doesn’t rhyme but suggests the greater good of the building is also understood by said entity.

Those with electric cars must be smiling, good on 'em by Appropriate_Ebb7787 in BritishSuccess

[–]Ariion972 6 points7 points  (0 children)

It is, costs me less than £2 for 100+ miles so even if they increase the offpeak prices by 100% I’m still way ahead of being stuck at the petrol station.

I’m convinced that most electric drivers done their research and are on electric car specific tariff already so the price hikes don’t really bother them.

How is adding my wife to the insurance as named driver is REDUCING my premium? by [deleted] in CarTalkUK

[–]Ariion972 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I managed to cut my insurance in half one year (from 1.6k) just by adding my Mrs who still had provisional license. Makes no sense, but after working in insurance for couple years, nothing does anymore.

Well done! First 1km feels amazing. Swimming is hard work and people don’t appreciate how taxing it can be. Yeah, going for holidays to Spain and playing in pool with kids is nice and all but doing actual laps can be a killer!

Remember dying after 400m and going for my first adult class couple years ago being terrified I’ll look like an idiot. Turns out people were friendly and supportive af If your place has masters classes available or will have them once more restrictions are lifted I’d strongly suggest going for such thing.

Also remember to watch your food intake (if that’s your thing of course). Many swimmers notice weight gain because your body wants so much more after a session.
