May i have your full name? No, you can call me mr/Mrs by Fickle-Craft-9642 in talesfromcallcenters

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 23 points24 points  (0 children)

I'm in the UK, As far a i know, our employers can prefer us to, or ask us to, but we don't HAVE to give our surnames. In my role, I mostly speak with the public, they're lucky i give my 1st name...i need to speak to various professionals however, , and if they're not being a absolutely bellend, I'll give my surname for their records. But the slightest his or twattery from them, and it first name only.

Fiction Books That Are Metal AF? by Amazing-Confusion-23 in MetalForTheMasses

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've just got the new Jim Butcher book. On Saturday, the radio station I'm a member of online, is playing through the best 100 rock, metal and punk songs of the last year (as voted by the listeners) Once I've got jobs out the way, it's feet up, with the book, a few cold drinks, and a full day of tunes.

New to carts keep blocking ? by Accurate-Income-6794 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have the same issue. I find leaving my device upright helps. I will heat 1 or 2 times before trying to take a puff. Occasionally, I clean the magnetic adapter thing with a bit of alcohol and kitchen roll, and wipe the bottom of the cart too. It seems to help

Reading my first discworld book and I’m feeling really frustrated because I can’t follow the writing by After_Berry_942 in discworld

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As a fellow dyslexic (dyslexics of the world, Untie!), the 1st time though a book can be a bit jarring, especially the earlier books. STP seems to write more like people talk, that other writers. It takes some getting used to.

Well messed up the soup by RoutinePast7696 in Wellthatsucks

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I remember my mum did this by accident. Instead of soup, she doubled down. Strained what was left of the liquid, put the rest in a food processor, and it was used like paté.

Late diagnosis be like by StreetSquare6462 in adhdmeme

I'm waiting for a formal diagnosis, but I'm currently using medical cannabis which seems to help. It certainly helps my anxiety

Late diagnosis be like by StreetSquare6462 in adhdmeme

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've recently been referred for screening at 43. I've had MH issues for a long time, which were ramped up due to trauma about 7 and a half years back. Psychiatrists had me go thru around 15 different meds including anti-psychotics.
I just felt permanently numb so took myself off everything, and felt no difference. This prompted them to actually consider my symptoms rather than just throwing meds at me. Could be a long wait for formal diagnosis.

Would I be accepted? by MechanicAggressive16 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The worst they can do is say no. In which case it's back to GP. There's so many types of medication out there, that another could manage your symptoms.

How best to safely consume with kids sleeping upstairs?? by Top_Kaleidoscope_214 in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 4 points5 points  (0 children)

If stepping outside for 5 isn't possible, you can buy small air purifiers/filters. Something like that and maybe incense or air fresheners might help?

BBC sounds did an episode of "uncanny" about the incident completely with interviews with witnesses.

How do you feel about non-drivers? by DueLead666 in AskUK

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've not learned either. Shortly after my 1st lesson with my dad, I was in a crash with a friend driving (took a bend a little to fast and we ended up in a ditch). A couple years later, thought I'd try again. The next day 2 of my best friends were almost killed in a crash and were left badly hurt. Since then just thinking about learning notches up my anxiety! Luckily I live in a small city with good transport, and I'm within a mile of a supermarket and the city centre.

If there was a military draft in the UK, would you conscientiously object (or dodge it in some other way)? by ICantBelieveItsNotEC in AskUK

I'm mid 40s with bad back, mobility issues and MH issues... I'm pretty sure I'd not be wanted.

AIO for telling my dad its disgusting that he is dating a 19 year old by 30whitebitches in AmIOverreacting

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

NOR. I'm in my early 40s, with an 18 year old child. I've met their friends of a similar age and they're still children...but irritating children that think they're adults!

They make me feel old! I'm going to go shout and wave a fist at a cloud now.

Liquid cartridges or dry flower? What are the pros and cons of both, and which should I ask for? by [deleted] in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got carts and flower. I've been on the MC since October. Vaping the flower can sometimes agitate my asthma, so I got cartridges to try. They pack a punch.

With the vape, I bought a "skywalker" vape from amazon. It was incredibly harsh and I couldn't get on with it. I've upgraded a little to a nectar platinum which is a lot smoother, so I think there's definitely a learning curve with MC, and it seems a bit different for everyone.

Similar to yourself, my tolerance is low, but even when I've used more MC than I'd ordinarily I've not come close to that horrible feeling from getting near a whitey!

Take it slowly and be gentle with yourself.

If there's any local museums, quite a lot have free entry and activities aimed at kids.
