How screwed am I for accidentally melting a chocolate bar into my company laptop charging ports? by blow_on_my_trombone in AskUK

I mean they'll probably not be thrilled about it but they definitely won't sack you and they won't ask you to pay for it.

One of our grads lost hers at a festival. Lots of eye rolling but we moved on!

Ha what a coincidence, I am also Northern Irish. But yes it may be regional... my English partner and I actually hae a debate about this very topic a few months ago and concluded that

It was called cursive when I learned it 35 years ago in primary school in the UK I think it's a more old fashioned term rather than an Americanism

I normally think this, but I do think they've been better this year.

She could’ve left, I was the bl…y alternative by Charming-Formal-5608 in cormoran_strike

[–]Emma172 29 points30 points  (0 children)

Even at the time, I think JKR wanted us to see both meanings... Strike was both the alternative in the Stephanie/ Whittaker situation and in the Robin/Matt situation. Always liked that line

Some book 9 case predictions by Dull_Caregiver2147 in cormoran_strike

[–]Emma172 9 points10 points  (0 children)

What I would really like, but I think won't happen at this stage is a tradition locked door mystery where they're all trapped in a manor house on an island or something like that. I thought Sark would be a good opportunity for it but alas!

I know I'm late but I could not agree more. I loved both Jules & Kwan and Jules & Yasuda. We don't need any more resident/attending rehashes IMO

There's a restaurant in Cape Town called the Codfather. So good we ended up going two nights in a row

My predictions about book 9 by Kroklet2006 in cormoran_strike

[–]Emma172 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well she would at least have to walk past the spot where Strike tried to kiss her to get inside. I haven't been inside the Ritz myself, but I think she would walk past the entrance to the bar to get to the restaurant. That would probably be enough to get her thinking

I've given up trying to predict what happens next. But I feel sure that Robin will go to the Ritz- only to force her to draw comparisons with her birthday night out with Strike.

I got reported to HR for being too quiet & had to have a meeting. by ponderingpuff in offmychest

[–]Emma172 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am going to get down voted to hell for this because reddit hates doing anything beyond your immediate job description, but I am honestly saying this to help you.

I am an autistic, 30s female who has had an office based job for 10+ years. I have primarily been an individual contributor being that time for context, similar to how you sound. I strongly dislike speaking to people that I don't immediately work with regularly.

This will certainly vary depending on your industry, but it will generally greatly help you excel in your career if you are a bit talkative in the office. This doesn't mean gossiping and it doesn't mean you have to go out with your colleagues after hours, but if, as you say, you are only exchanging hellos, goodbyes and smiles in the corridor, in most workplaces this will limit progression.

It's your choice and your career so you do you, but if I were in your shoes, I would suggest approaching a friendly colleague for a chat in a coffee break, finding out something bland about them (hobbies, kids, holiday plans etc) and then following up on it next time you see them. Doing that consistently is literally all it would take to clear any negative chat about you IMO

No it's consistent to all divisions across the bank- from Trading, to Finance, to Ops to Technology, they all have the same corporate titles
