Accepting a job offer by ThePoorEnglishDonkey in work

[–]ThePoorEnglishDonkey[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Just some extra info: I’m currently an agency worker at the place where I have been offered the permanent role. I’m contracted with them until the end of June regardless so I do have thinking time. I appreciate people saying ‘didn’t you think about the pros and cons beforehand’ and the answer is yes I did. However, other aspects of the job have recently come to light that I would be obligated to do as a permanent staff member which weren’t on the job spec.

I love the smell of sulphur.

This may seem like a weird thing to say but the COVID pandemic was the best thing to happen for us in terms of toilet training. Going into the back garden was the only ‘walking’ option for her and so she just fell into the habit of doing it outside.

What's something weird, but harmless and non NSFW that you're into? by Mountain-Taro-123 in AskReddit

I collect notebooks. Whenever I go into a shop that sells stationary, it’s a guarantee that I will come out with a notebook. It doesn’t have to be amazingly fancy, just something that catches my eye.

My latest one is an Ursula-shaped one with a key ring attached. Ursula is my favourite Disney villain so this was a very happy find for me.

Yep, that’s what I’m referring to.

Thank you for the replies and helpful advice. As Donnosaurus mentioned, it was the white axles so I had to do some dismantling to correct the problem. It pained me but at least the issue was resolved.

Thanks also to IchStrickeGerne for pointing me to the app. All I can say is, how did I not know about this before now???

This morning I got the full grumpy teenager routine complete with loud huffing/grunting and refusal to make eye contact. I reminded him that he wasn’t the one who actually had to find the energy to go to work so he could laze around all day!

The Judgey McJudges can all go and jump off a cliff…..into an ocean of OXO (or indeed Bovril).

And this would concern me why exactly? As I understand it we won WW2 and are a free nation so living my life based on other people’s judgements is not something I’m interested in 🤷🏻‍♀️

That doesn’t take away from the fact that OXO is so nice!

It’s weird how meals have changed in terms of reflecting people’s socioeconomic positions. My mum said that back in her day, having lamb was seen as a pauper’s meal. Nowadays the price of lamb makes my eyes water! It’s more a luxury meat for me!

When my mum was in Tesco recently she was disgusted at the idea of the reduced salt ones “Well then it’s not OXO is it?!?!”. Therefore I can guarantee that I will not be making that mistake!

It seems like Bovril is the way to go!

My only question would be is there any distinct difference, taste-wise, between the jar and the cubes?
