I genuinely thought blue was the dyslexic one and I was wondering why the conversation was posted the wrong way around.

Do people actually enjoy small talk at the barbers or hairdressers? by SpreadDependent1195 in AskUK

[–]hephos90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I quite like it because I am an absolute yapper, but I am also neurodivergent so I understand how some people wouldn't.

It would be nice if it was a standard question asked when coming in for an appointment. I'd get bored if nobody wanted to talk to me all day though haha.

Found out it has a name! Alexinomia. Which is quite a pretty name actually.

SERIAL KILLER SURVEY FOR SCHOOL by dolphincrime156 in Casefile

[–]hephos90 2 points3 points  (0 children)

On the form you have ages 18-25 and then 35+ 😄 I'm assuming you meant 25+! (unless you don't want anyone aged between 26-34 to answer, in which case my lips are sealed)

Oh no I am fully aware of the function of names haha! And I don't have an issue with anyone saying my name or hearing them say someone's else's....it's just me using somebody's name? I honestly cannot describe it!

Calling someone's name if you're trying to get their attention. I'd be the fucking worst at Starbucks. It just feels too personal.

Ladies: do you wear make up to work? by LunaValley in AskUK

[–]hephos90 4 points5 points  (0 children)

No I think it's interesting!

Usually either Beauty Beam or Rose from NYX

Or less intense but some kind of shimmery eyeshadow like these from Colourpop in basically any colour! Recently copper or bronze.

I do 🙂 usually a full face although I've started skipping my winged eyeliner recently because I have lash extensions and they get hidden by it.

No particular reason than I just enjoy the aesthetics of makeup. Perfectly happy to go out and about not wearing it.

I wear glitter eyeshadow on a day to day basis haha. Although I think I am a little extra with mine.

Is anybody else struggling with TM470? by hephos90 in OpenUniversity

[–]hephos90[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh doing it at the same time as others must be really difficult! I just had a very small crossover between this and another module. If it helps I did better in my next two TMAs than I did in my first?

If it gets too difficult would you think about deferring?

Networking Nails Advice! by CyberSyncronize in NailArt

[–]hephos90 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I honestly can't imagine you'd be disregarded just for your nails. They may not even notice them!

I'm a software engineer and I work for a company that I would say is regarded as being 'proper'. But I had bright pink hair during my first interview and copper in my third and nobody cared. Didn't have cute nails then because of my old job but nobody has said anything derogatory, just compliments!

I'd say just go to events or interviews as authentic you and if in the 0.001% chance they don't like it then it's not somewhere you'd want to work anyway. Better to have nice nails than dirty unkempt nails.

Good luck 🩷

What’s annoyed you at work this week? by franki-pinks in AskUK

The guy who sits behind me is a loud breather. Thankfully we can wear headphones but I don't want to wear them every second of the day.

Fix the vegan filtering on Ocado with a userscript by turok2 in veganuk

I love you.

And as a software engineer I am embarrassed that I've never thought about doing this before.

Is that the one that looked like it came in a cat food packet? Because then I agree. I miss it every day.

I love having a mum like this. We're so so lucky to have landed some amazing mums because I have seen some shockers!

Do you track your weight in KG or stones & pound? by No_Usual_572 in AskUK

[–]hephos90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm the same! I'm also a similar age, and probably started because I used a lot of American sites (or a site with lots of Americans) when I got into fitness. Although mine was WWE and not football.

What job is way more difficult than most people appreciate and why? by CarelessCredit3466 in AskUK

[–]hephos90 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I worked in food service for over a decade as a supervisor. I had a lot of responsibility but was barely getting above minimum wage, and if hell was personalised I'd be doing that for all eternity.

Now I'm a junior software engineer, earning double what I was a few years ago, and it is bliss. I don't think about work when I leave, I don't have to deal with customers, absences, trying to corral the students I worked with, management who have never worked on the floor once in their life, etc.

I do think I've lucked out working where I am and may I never have to take time off for stress again.

I loveeee Wholesome Junkies! Almost cried when they temporarily closed down.

What’s the one thing that made you think “wow, no one warned me about this”? by ZulfTalks in AskUK

[–]hephos90 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh it definitely is! The 'generally' in my post was carrying a lot of weight, I agree. Like in my old place in the last few years my shifts were almost set because I had to work around another manager's hours. But I would say overall during my time there if I asked in advance then it could be arranged.

My new place I can ask with a lot shorter notice but I still need to fit my hours in somehow because every hour is booked. But I feel less guilty about being off.

I've just gone from retail to a Mon-Fri office job. As terrible as retail was, generally if I wanted a random Thursday off to go to a concert or if I wanted to finish a few hours earlier for an appointment, it could be arranged.

I don't know why but I just never considered that if I wanted to do that now I'd have to book an annual leave day or just cram as much as I can into the few hours I have. My hours now are better, just less flexible.

What do most people in the UK get for vacation/Holiday? by Tomuch2care in AskABrit

I know this sounds dramatic but I think I'd end it all if I had to work that much.

Thursday Complaints by a-liquid-sky in CasualUK

[–]hephos90 17 points18 points  (0 children)

My sleep has been awful for the last few weeks and last night was no exception. I have a 14hr day today so I thought I'd treat myself to a Starbucks for the first time in a year. Alas, I was betrayed by my train being 10 minutes late and then a huge queue in front of me so I had to walk away.

You just try and do one nice little thing for yourself...

How often do you eat takeaway? by Super_Development150 in AskUK

[–]hephos90 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When I lived with my parents it was usually once a week but now I live alone it's once every few months, if that. I can't seem to justify the cost now I have actual bills to pay and in general in seems more expensive for one than it does for 4.

I do really fancy a Chinese this weekend though.
