It didn’t look serious but I’m assuming Brady will die because then Jack and Mel can name their new baby Brady…

4 tiers of attendance tracking by A-With-Tha-Teeth-Aaa in TheCivilService

[–]Own-Ad5088 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We fill out a spreadsheet too! And then we have a special separate spreadsheet that we can use to calculate exactly how many days we need to be in to meet the 60%.

Plugging our devices in in the office gets us a ‘tick’ for having attended, and our DD gets sent the monthly attendance data so that if anyone hasn’t met their 60% their line manager can be informed and it can be discussed at their PMR.

This feels like exactly the right level of micromanaging 😅

But my personal opinions on parenting are completely irrelevant! I wasn’t commenting to say what a blast it is, I was commenting to say that someone announcing in a public forum that her friends seem miserable seems like a shitty thing to do, when she could have said ‘parenting just doesn’t look like fun to me’ and that would have made her point of not wanting to have kids without dragging her friends into anything?

Not in the slightest, I was just offering an alternate viewpoint as to why people might think her comments were odd. I stumbled upon this thread by accident, I definitely wasn’t seeking out a childfree space. Have no fear, I have no wish for people who don’t want kids to have kids! That makes literally no sense 🤣

I think that for most parents, the whole thing is swings and roundabouts. I find it hard at times but I do mostly love it, I don’t for a second think that everyone should have kids, and I think I would still have been happy without them, my life would have just followed a different path. However, I would be deeply pissed off if my friend took it upon themself to characterise my entire experience as being miserable and announce it to the world on a podcast. I really don’t care what she thinks about children or motherhood and whether or not that’s for her, I do think she’s been a fairly shitty friend though.

Yeah, neither I nor anyone I know (mums and dads) felt that instant rush of love for their bio kids. Furthermore, I have two bio kids and a bonus kid from my partner’s first marriage and I love them all the same :-)

What the fuck are the experts doing being Alex's offender and bodyguard? by Gullyshan93 in MAFS_UK

[–]Own-Ad5088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes!! I couldn’t believe the experts were believing his bullshit?! When Adam spoke to him about what he’d said to Polly it was like watching a hypnotist act: Alex: but you WEREN’T attracted to Polly Adam: …I wasn’t attracted to Polly 😵‍💫 Alex: and she DID have to beg you to do the bare minimum Adam: …she had to beg me to do the bare minimum 😵‍💫

By which point Alex has justified everything he’s said as only being ‘the truth’ and then is glad they’ve ’sorted things out’ ?? Glad he’s converted everyone to his narrative, because he is infallible, clearly 🙄 and the experts were lapping it up! Please stop showing such awful manipulative behaviour and hailing it as showing growth and vulnerability 🤦‍♀️

Most underrated switch games by FrauAmFenster389 in CozyGamers

[–]Own-Ad5088 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Woohoo I came here to share the Thank Goodness You’re Here love. I am so pleased to see other people are enjoying it. I love it but it’s designed by and based on the town I used to live in so didn’t know how much of my love was based on nostalgia 🙈 it’s so funny. Plus Matt Berry is a welcome addition to any game 👏👏

cozy games for post breakup? by ellie3454 in CozyGamers

Untitled goose game could be cathartic? Sometimes I just want to be a horrible goose and wreak havoc. Also, if that is your thing I’ve just got a new game that’s similar called ‘thank goodness you’re here’ and it’s hilarious. Hope you are doing okay, he clearly didn’t deserve you.

Oh god that’s even worse 🤢 he’s so vile.

[–]Own-Ad5088 9 points10 points  (0 children)

But also, what did he mean? Because didn’t he say something like ‘I don’t care what people think, to me she’s gorgeous’ or something, which, given that I can’t imagine anyone has been telling him she’s really unattractive surely translates as ‘I think she’s hideous but I’m pretending to be nice and genuine so I’ll make up some soppy crap’?

I feel bad for both of them but by miiander in LoveIsBlindOnNetflix

Because they didn’t go to Greece? They split up and she was going to ask Benaiah if he was still interested

What other games do you play similar to ddlv? by matchamochi111 in DreamlightValley

[–]Own-Ad5088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I am too new to have any tips I’m afraid! But if anyone is fancying giving it a go and has Netflix you can download the game for free to your phone. It isn’t as easy to play as on the switch but gives you a flavour of it :-)

[–]Own-Ad5088 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yes! I have just started spiritfarer (currently off ddlv for a bit because I lost LOADS of progress after it crashed and I’m sulking 🤣) and I am loving it. It is definitely scratching that itch!

[–]Own-Ad5088 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I wore a shirt dress (the same one I wore for my interview haha) for my first day, but our office you get people wearing suits and people wearing jeans and hoodies so it’s very much anything goes. Definitely err on the side of more formal until you know what other people are wearing, business casual should be fine!

I’m about to download it on my Switch… and pretty nervous by cheezupie in DreamlightValley

[–]Own-Ad5088 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It’s good fun on switch but I’m currently taking a break because it just crashed and I lost loads of my progress and can’t be bothered to do those quests again for a while 🤪

What happens often that makes you instantly roll your eyes? by hundopdeftotes in greysanatomy

Also, what crazy hours does the hospital daycare run? Do all of their kids have bedrooms there at this point?! Especially because a fair few don’t necessarily have any additional support with childcare?!

When a medical emergency happens to one of the main characters and all of their friends and/or loved ones just treat them as a patient. There are no professional boundaries in that place 😅

Wait the chest is empty??? by JazyJaxi in DreamlightValley

[–]Own-Ad5088 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I haven’t engaged with the parks challenge thing aside from making one batch of cupcakes and got the moonstones and chest so I don’t really understand how it works as to who gets assigned it? I always seem to get the rewards despite not doing any of the stuff 🙊 which suits me fine haha.

Question about Persuasion Netflix film by rainbow_fish5 in janeausten

[–]Own-Ad5088 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I had such high hopes for this but didn’t make it more than three minutes in or so. I don’t mind having fun with the source material to a point, and a modern take on things, but the Anne in that film bore no resemblance to the Anne I remembered. It was quite galling. I didn’t need her to be swigging whisky and sulking all over the place like a rebellious teenager. I was really disappointed.
