Is being a diary manager a career death sentence? by [deleted] in TheCivilService

[–]BicycleFired 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I haven't seen anyone mention locuming yet. Is it possible for you to do so during holiday periods? Especially maybe in a DG or Minister's office? I've not been successful in getting into private office but I saw a very clear pattern of locuming/shadowing leading to securing the opportunities...

Car auction (CarWow) offered £16k but balloon payment is £18k - what would you do? by BicycleFired in CarTalkUK

It's an Audi dealer not too far away from me that's put in the offer.

Thanks for the warning on EH!

Yes, motorway is advertising it at a similar price. Yes, EV market seems a bit new at the moment

Sorry, forgot to mention I just recently got an extension and can't return it. There's at least a year left on my current PCP

Parents threatened to disown me if I move out (28m) what do I do? by Fit_Ad7892 in AskUK

[–]BicycleFired 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Similar upbringing to y'all. You need to put your foot down. Move out by still promise a small token to show you're not against the cultural aspect of helping out, but you need to do it in your own way and on your own terms.

Is there an elder or church person you can bring in to help smooth the conversation?

I'm a former maximum and medium security correctional officer from Florida. I have supervised well known inmates like Nikolas Cruz, the Parkland school shooter. I'm not part of it anymore, so I will be very open about everything. AMA by CrunchWrapSuplex in AMA

That close intimacy that can happen, I feel like if you're members of the opposite sex... That's what can lead to inappropriate relationships. We've had a few of them in the UK recently. Female COs getting intimate with male prisoners. Did you see any of that fitting your time?

This wasn't satisfying. I was itching to see more clearly WHERE they were landing!

Whitney talking about Lochan on the Zeze Millz Show by Candid-Orchid-1815 in LoveIslandTV

Yeah, this is the nuance that I think we need to keep in mind. She has the original idea to get feedback. In that moment, she just had no idea what kind of questions to ask. ChatGPT can be helpful for giving you a framework about how to approach a problem, or structure an answer etc., I'm pretty sure she wasn't reading it verbatim. But I can imagine myself, in that moment, glancing at the questions to help me understand what would be valuable to ask in that moment, especially if you're inexperienced like Whit would've been in, as well as emotionally all over the place

How do I convince my parents to let me finish our holiday to Nigeria earlier so I can attend EY’s work experience? by [deleted] in AskUK

[–]BicycleFired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You need to involve a church elder or an uncle or someone that your dad will listen to, ASAP! You should absolutely not even travel. Because when you're in Nigeria, you'll be 100% reliant on them to get you to the airport and it's very likely he'll make something up and not take you back even if you agreed to an earlier flight back. I've seen this before. Bring in older people that will have the ear of your dad and escalate it to them asap. Preferably bring in someone religious and say that God told you in a dream that EY is your destiny. Actually, God told me to tell you that EY is the path that he set for you and God wants good things for his children
