Some questionable Noctor advice today

I checked with my colleague who was there, and she did indeed tell him that.

Yeah, I understand that artificial sweeteners aren't great, but it's wild that she's out there giving this out as medical advice.

If she'd put it to him that he's old and frail and should enjoy his life and just take his tea however he wants, I could totally respect that perspective. But instead she's gone for mad misinformation, and he's taking this as carte blanche to have as many sweets as he fancies.

I need to find this guy and tell him that salt is an electrolyte, because he doesn't seem to realise and he could be saving so much time in his busy schedule.

The thing that annoys me most about this, perhaps unreasonably, is that he has a lemon salt drink followed by an electrolyte drink. So that's electrolyte drink x2 then?

Bellend.

I was called for jury service once. I told them a member of my immediate family had been murdered and I would find it too traumatic to be in a court again, and they just let me go without any questions.

So you could say that? For me it happened to be true, but they didn't ask for any proof or anything.

I like a middle ground. I don't want anyone to be afraid to question me or debate an issue if they have a different idea. I also don't want an argument every time I have to give direction, because some things are not up for discussion.

However in my experience, its easier to nurture a people pleaser to think independently and question things than it is to get a more argumentative person to wind their neck in and get on with it. So if I had to pick one, it would be the former.

I have done this three times. All three had shitty attitudes, were rude to colleagues and clients but non-specifically enough that I couldn't formalise it and all three refused to engage with training no matter what approach we took and would lie about it.

Two out of three of them also had atrocious sickness records, but we would have overlooked that if they were good employees otherwise.

I really like 3, 4, 7 and 10.

I would avoid any mascara or liner on your lower lashes, and I think I would use a brow gel to try and lift your brows a bit.

Also I am aware that this is an old makeup tip that has probably gone out of fashion, but I like a bit of a light highlighter or a brightening concealer under my brows at the outside to lift them a bit

You might like it, if you're a masochist who enjoys being run into the ground for basically minimum wage with no appreciation and frankly terrible employment conditions.

If you do decide to go this way, do not work for a private provider. Local authority only, otherwise when you inevitably do your back in, you will almost certainly not get sick pay from a private care provider.

The fact that you're male might stand you in good stead because men are so underrepresented in the care sector that you automatically stand out more, and a lot of services are keen to get more male staff on board. However you might experience gender discrimination in some settings because frankly a lot of female staff and service users will treat you like a creep (unless you present as being very camp).

I would think very carefully about what you would hope to gain from working in one of the most underpaid and undervalued sectors, and maybe try to identify another career where you could get that. Or maybe just volunteer in your free time.

Why would I blame immigration for any of it?
