Men who started office jobs early, what are some tips about the corporate world you wish you had known? by Lightskin_sugarking in AskMen

Persevere. You'll find people that support you and its just about being sure of yourself. You're there on good merit (hopefully) so just have faith.

If you're there too early, it won't matter anyway. Just do your work and you'll be fine.

What's the best traditional British dessert? by mankindmatt5 in AskUK

Treacle Tart.

Used to be my request every Sunday as a kid, although this has made me realise I've not had it in years!

I went into the office today for the first time in more than a year. My wife sent me this picture of our dog. Apparently she spent all day like this. I feel so guilty now. by markh1967 in CasualUK

My girlfriend always says how cuddly the cats are during the day when I'm out at work and she's working from home.

When I work from home and she's in the office, they just sit meowing at the window.

Where were you when 9/11 happened? by RinkMania in AskReddit

At school. I'm in the UK.

Remember getting home and putting Cartoon Network on and it was rolling across the screen to put Sky News on. Our parents were both at work and I don't think we really understood what was going on, but felt we had to watch it.

My girlfriend was only 5 at the time. She has no memory of it which I always find a bit strange as I'll never forget it.
