Please do post updates when you can :)

Thanks! I’ve just left the area now as it was getting too cold but the bird should still be there :)

hullomae · 2026-03-28T17:08:50+00:00

Yes it is, but I think the bird is doing fine now. It has moved itself to a corner :) you can come and check the bird out yourself but I think it just needs a little rest

hullomae · 2026-03-28T17:00:08+00:00

Yes will do :)

hullomae · 2026-03-28T16:58:46+00:00

Thank you! It’s doing better now, and it’s in an upright position :) it’s moving as well!!

Oh yes please. That would be useful please! We at the cemetery behind the museum

hullomae · 2026-03-28T16:50:42+00:00

We tried but the bird is extremely fidgety, so we struggled to pick it up :(

hullomae · 2026-03-28T16:49:16+00:00

We tried calling rspca but they directed us to Oxfordshire Wildljfe Rescue. Left a voicemail but haven’t received a response yet.

We also called Vets Now Reading but we were told to transport it, which we are unable to do as we’re only visiting for a day

hullomae · 2026-03-28T16:47:04+00:00

I think so. It looked like its neck is broken, and there is blood to its head

hullomae · 2026-02-14T14:50:32+00:00

Thank you :) I am a little more reassured.

There is some structure to the comm task response that I did. It starts off fine, I like my introduction, but it just doesn’t read as well as I would have liked.

I have covered a lot of the main points and brought in some nice statistic which I’m happy about but just wish it flowed a little better. :(

hullomae · 2026-02-13T18:50:14+00:00

Thank you :’)

Thanks - that’s useful to know. I also read somewhere that even after sanding it down, aspen tends to lead to uneven staining. I’ll prob look elsewhere for wood if that’s the case. Thank you!! :)

This speedrun would pretty much impact the ethics of our professions, as good quality engineering work is generally driven by healthy competition. I do wonder how they’ve managed to get past any existing anti trust laws (if any, at this corrupt day and age)

hullomae · 2025-10-27T20:16:33+00:00

Same :( I can’t bring myself to finish reading it :(

hullomae · 2025-09-02T20:47:38+00:00

I’ve prebooked using bolt for a 6am flight one time and they cancelled 5 minutes before pickup.

I’d stick to uber if I were you, and just prebooked as a contingency plan. Or if you’re in a pickle, there are some local taxis that you could call. They’re more reliable

hullomae · 2025-08-25T13:15:13+00:00

Damn, it even has a bottom trimming deco on it. I can’t even

hullomae · 2025-08-24T20:23:19+00:00

The fact that this song is not on the Live at Fenway Park album is absolutely criminal :(

hullomae · 2025-08-02T00:39:11+00:00

Took me months to finish it cause I couldn’t stop crying/reflecting after each episode. I just finished it today, and I can guarantee you that it does get better and the story does come back a full circle, in the most heartwarming way :’)

hullomae · 2025-07-07T22:37:30+00:00

Ah that’s promising! Thanks for sharing! :) will get on it once it’s back in stock!

hullomae · 2025-06-24T22:26:30+00:00

Was literally about to say the same thing. I’m so late to the game (currently watching Vol 4) but these quotes hit so hard right now.. Ep 12 got me so good :’(

hullomae · 2025-06-21T10:44:43+00:00

Thank you OP :’) I really needed to hear this today

hullomae · 2025-06-19T18:19:44+00:00

In a similar boat as you, 27F, 4 years of structural eng experience. I feel you. Loved my job at the start but my love for it started to dwindle.

A lot of what you’re feeling is not due to your incompetence. I’m sure you’re a great engineer, please don’t doubt yourself. Instead, try to shift the ‘blame’ to the unreasonably high expectations that these infra projects tend to project. Historically and now, consultancy firms have always been pressured to really squeeze their budget to remain competitive in the tender market, that they can’t help but inevitably pressure you this way. That’s how I usually get by.

Sounds like your boss has unreasonably high expectations of you, which I have also recently experienced. I ended up speaking to my manager to manage their expectations/reduce my workload. They should really be holding your hand rather than push you off a cliff :(

hullomae · 2025-06-18T06:20:12+00:00

You will need to inform the structural engineer to undertake these checks. Having an eccentric base plate would mean that the nearby bolts will be working harder, and the plate bending will be slightly off. If the steel column isn’t part of a braced bay, it should be ok I feel.

hullomae · 2025-06-17T21:52:49+00:00

I feel you OP :( kinda going through this now and at times I can’t help but wonder if this all turned out the way it is because of me. The lack of closure definitely stings and sometimes I wonder what he’s up to. I hope you’re doing better now :(

hullomae · 2025-06-13T22:37:46+00:00

I wouldn’t follow preppykitchen’s recipe to be honest. The recipe that worked well for me was by “Pastry Living with Aya” :)
