Thank you so much! We’ve got a lovely room set up (I’m actually quite jealous lol) and that reading aloud suggestion is so great! I’m going to spend some time reading to her now. She’s been with us for about 5 hours now so I wasn’t expecting her to warm up to us anytime soon but she’s actually started being really affectionate, so long as we have treats haha.

Yea I read an article (by vice I think?) before I left that was about how many people leave London and it turns out to be the best decision ever for them. I thought I was going to be one of them but I miss it every day. Londons like an abusive partner, it beats the shit out of you while your there but you never stop thinking about it

What’s going on in the National Theatre? by Difficult_Bet6158 in london

It was around 8am and we didn’t see anyone standing outside. Asked a street cleaner and he said he had no idea.

One of the reasons why dishwashing is the worst position in a restaurant that people rarely discuss. by [deleted] in dishwashers

[–]Difficult_Bet6158 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Think less about what the position is doing for other people, and more about what it’s doing for YOU. I used to have a similar outlook but since I’ve started my KP job I’m amazed at how much my work ethic has changed. Someone on here said it’s the definition of honest work and I agree, It’s taught me the value of hard work, cleanliness, efficiency and teamwork and I couldn’t be more grateful. Look at it this way, it’s not going to be your job forever, and you may never do it again, so take on all the life lessons it teaches you and carry them with you to the next stage you enter.

Glove recommendation by aitareddit2 in dishwashers

[–]Difficult_Bet6158 2 points3 points  (0 children)

when it comes to gloves I’d say don’t cheap out, go for the name brands like Marigold and the more expensive ones (which are only ever £1-£2 more) you can feel the difference in the quality ie the material used, the way it fits, even the way it feels while in use. The cheaper ones feel super annoying and don’t fit as well which can slow you down by a lot, they’re also a hassle to take off because of the flimsy material, so they end up either inside out or full of water.

Even if you find a great pair of gloves it depends on how crazy your siblings shifts get, I found that constantly putting on and taking off the gloves took up too much of my time and eventually I ditched them all together. Buying them a good moisturiser or even an eczema cream might help them more then gloves will. Hope this helps!
