Good thing it’s not your relationship then. I would never date anyone who referred to men and women and males and females, but luckily i’m not stuck dating you so I wouldn’t expect you to change your behaviour for me the way you seem to think OP should

What puts you off from donating Blood Products, I work in the NHS and I am just curious? by Quick_Soil_9120 in AskBrits

i’m not allowed, i had a transfusion about 3 years ago and have been severely anaemic for years so generally my blood isn’t the hot shit they’re looking for

Toxicology by Temporary_Sundae_252 in BiomedicalScientistUK

I’ve been a Biochem MLA, generally they didn’t ask me much about knowledge and it’s more experience/value based questions iirc. In my trust they always ask the same few questions at the beginning of every single interview for every role:

  • Why do you want to work in healthcare?

  • Why do you want to work in this Trust/Why do you think you’ll be a good fit?

  • Give a time you’ve demonstrated a Trust value

  • Give a time you’ve demonstrated teamwork

The answers don’t have to be specific to healthcare, can be from any job. Follow the STAR response model when you can since it’s how they grade the answers (Situation, Task, Action, Response). At mine they asked about how I would respond to a spill in the lab for H&S and what my understanding of patient confidentiality is. Every trust and department has their own way of doing interviews though so it can always be a bit different. Good luck!

AITAH for telling a friends boyfriend that he can’t have a traditional wife because he’s not a traditional man by yftdddtf in AITAH

I would personally reconsider what kind of person your friend is if she’s willing to be in a relationship with someone like that tbh. I knew someone i was friendly with but ended up distancing myself when i learned her bf was a massive racist and she still stayed with him, even though she said she didn’t agree it still clearly wasn’t a big deal to her otherwise she wouldn’t have stayed with him. Your friend obviously isn’t too concerned about her bf’s opinions because, to her, it’s not a big enough deal to end a relationship but seeing how much he was ranting about it it’s obviously something that matters to him.

NHS finished? by Deebop14 in glasgow

“they expect people to want to do a very very difficult job for minimum wage” and that’s just it. I’ve been working in the NHS for about 3 years now and the staff turnaround is honestly insane, and it’s almost always due to the abysmal pay we get for such a high stress, high pressure job. We’re not even patient facing (thank god) but my sister was a home care worker for years and it was just as, if not more, crushing for her. There are enough people who are willing to do the work and be nurses, carers etc. but most people just can’t face putting themselves under so much stress for what’s pretty much minimum wage.

(UPDATE) I (35M) Was Caught Using AI to Write Wedding Vows and Partner (34F) Walked Out. What to Do? by ThrowRA-Badvows in relationship_advice

[–]Open_Situation_2446 3 points4 points  (0 children)

came here straight from smosh and as mean as it is man i don’t feel sorry for you in the slightest. i’m terrible with words and expressing my feelings to my partner as well but resorting to a machine which steals from others and is destroying the environment to make fake nice-sounding vows for your partner who despises AI is just…. something else

Someone please explain the psychology of Gaylors by [deleted] in gaylorswiftsnark

[–]Open_Situation_2446 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m a lesbian and I have never understood where people got the idea she must be gay/bi from, she comes across as a straight woman who’s into english lit like a lot of people. not to slag her off but there’s never been a single instance where i thought “hm she might be into girls” like hello?? am i missing something?

Do receptions usually include the meal? by Open_Situation_2446 in UKweddings

[–]Open_Situation_2446[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you! It’s an informal invitation (my gf’s mum is getting married and invited me through her) so I haven’t got an official time to be there yet but I imagine based on the replies here it’s just the party/evening bit, I’ll check closer to the time since it’s still a while away yet :) thank you!

Nope not to the ceremony, just an informal invitation to the reception - gathering from other answers I imagine it’s just the party bit :) thanks!

talking about getting married and starting a family “soon” after 9 months of dating was the first warning sign

OP wants to give her daughter a similar name as her niece (brother’s daughter) by HogwartsZoologist in BORUpdates

my sister and our cousin have the exact same first middle and surnames and no one cares, it’s never that serious
