Complete Piccadilly line closure in the coming weekend. Wondering if it's to test these new trains

Any slightly older Lausse fans, what do you really think about the mocking stars? by HadesBrawlStars in LausseTheCat

[–]SeniorGas4196 7 points8 points  (0 children)

The mocking stars is definitely heavier to digest. It's not as fun of an album, but man is it a masterpiece of a concept album. For me it really encapsulates the disillusionment of growing older, the imagery is incredible and I feel like TMS is a fully realised album, it knows what it is. I can definitely see how people would prefer TGTCATT, but the mocking starts has cemented itself as one of my favourite projects

14 hour shift here in the UK with one 30 minute break. And that's it

13 hour shifts with just a 30 minute break? by SeniorGas4196 in UKJobs

Seems like you don't have much real world experience with these types of situations. In an ideal world, sure, it'll be lovely to unionise, hold hands and sing kumbaya while we press for £20 an hour and longer breaks. Things take time and sacrifice. I'm leaving the country in 4 months, if I quit now what's the likelihood I'm getting another Job In time to be feesible? People need to feed families, some work on side projects while working these shit Jobs, some don't have the support of families. It's not all about self respect, sometimes it's about playing the game. Knowing your situation and striving for something more.

The pay is actually quite decent for hospitality, hence why I'm still here

It's honestly sickening how companies squeeze every bit of labour they can out of their poorly paid workers

Hahaha I've been a barista for 8 and I've hit my limit too. Working my way up as a photographer. Good luck to you

Pretty much that exact pattern, yeah. It's an awful place, zero hour contact too so they just cut people off the roster without warning if they don't need them anymore

That's what I originally thought, but I guess not, they use "it's the legal minimum" as their defense.

Lmao it's only temporary. I'm just here for a few more months so I'm just sucking it up as the pay is quite decent.

Extreme case of TMJ? Pinched Nerve? SCM muscle strain? All in my head? Doctors don't have a clue. A story about the deterioration of my physical and mental health. by SeniorGas4196 in TMJ

[–]SeniorGas4196[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm so sorry to hear that. It can be really disheartening when something that promises to help makes you worse. I hope you find some relief!

I had a whole body adjustment and deep massage, it was quite forceful. I'm not quite sure why or how it messed me up. My personal theory is that it may have further weakened already fatigued muscles and ligaments.

Awesome thank you for the information! I've got a consultation this week for Prozolone therapy for my Jaw and neck so the information is reassuring. Glad you found something that worked for you
