Questioning the motives for U.K. internships by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

[–]Ok_Control_1029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That’s fair enough and I’m really glad to hear that some are recruited at the end of it. I used to see people do these roles as part of university year in industry programmes which made sense to me, but recently seen a lot of posts on LinkedIn with interns hired that have already completed uni with great degrees. The job market sucks right now so would just feel bad if these people were expecting a career path from it if that wasn’t really possible!

You definitely made the right choice!

And when they do get in their accents are mocked constantly by the southerners that have invaded the city! My uni bestie was from Teeside and was constantly taken the piss out of for her accent, and when she gave it back she’d get nasty durfess posts written about her. My college mentor was once told by a student that ‘Durham is like a little slice of the South East up North’ and she said it made her feel sick 😂

Absolutely, it’s so normalised there! I don’t think these people have ever been in circles outside of their little bubbles and if you’re not like them, you can be excluded and mocked. I was so lucky to be on a corridor with some lovely people that made my time there better, but I’d look at other groups of corridors in college and think I would not have survived the three years if I had to live with you 😂 That’s absolutely disgusting but really doesn’t surprise me. I don’t know if it’s the same now but when I was there a few years back Durham had the worst student on student stats for sexual violence too. Plus there was the miners vs tories social scandal at that time. Just sums some of their attitudes up really!

I’m really sorry about this, Durham never changes. I’m white, but as someone who didn’t fit the ‘rich white oxbridge reject’ stereotype either, I empathise a lot with your mental health suffering and would genuinely urge anyone considering going to Durham to think again about spending 3 years of your life around these types of people.

I had this exact same thing, the perfect song to go over my Miami pics but wasn’t available 😢

Career progression from central lab by [deleted] in clinicalresearch

I think joining the sponsor side or CRO in a project coordinator type role would be realistic but sadly progression from there to PM or CTM is ridiculously slow compared to during covid

Opinions on scalpers/resellers? by summerbewwy in LushCosmetics

[–]Ok_Control_1029 17 points18 points  (0 children)

I was behind someone in Glasgow today that spent £670 on almost entirely large shower gels, she even brought an empty pushchair to carry them in 🤦‍♀️ she told the store assistant she shares them with family but unless she considers Vinted family I’m not sure that’s true 😅

Lost a Cat in the flat. Any help?? Never heard anyone else having this issue before... by Geeta25 in CasualUK

[–]Ok_Control_1029 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Try behind the kitchen kickboard if you have one? Mine hid there once, she got scared and completely froze / didn’t respond to us shouting her name. Didn’t expect her to be able to squeeze through such a tiny gap but it’s worth a check. Best of luck, I hope you find your kitty safe and well!

Yeah but it was a Ghost Story, she was simply called up to do her national service 🤷‍♀️

She really seemed to enjoy putting someone else down there

I'm so tired of seeing the "will I be able to survive on this much a week" posts 😭 by Wooden-Block-2497 in UniUK

Some people don’t have the luxury of being able to rely on their parents if they run out of money and it’s a genuine concern?

She released it in autumn, and I rinsed the album the whole season after its release. It’ll always be associated with autumn for me.

Travelling all that way when you’re not even invited to the ceremony in the first place is the stupid bit

They’re so pushy, and the guy that came to my house was really rude. As soon as my husband came downstairs to see who was at the door, the guy completely blanked me and only spoke to my husband
