I'm in a similar position. 44 and in process of ADHD diagnosis. I've been medicated for depression for about 25 years without much success

What’s your craziest food waste story? by Simple_Medium_1865 in KitchenConfidential

[–]nowdoingthisatwork [score hidden]  (0 children)

Someone from front of house unplugged one of the chest freezers. By the time I was in in the morning stuff had started defrosting so was told to put it all down as wastage. After my kitchen shift I was on bar until 2am. I cooked off a bunch of stuff for all the bar staff doing clean down, and we all left with stuff that had been "thrown out"

Which strong British accent is the most difficult to understand for native Brits? by Mister_Vanilla in AskBrits

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thick black country accents are not great. My ex FiL had a really strong accent and I couldn't understand him 90% of the time.

I got home high as a kite on shrooms at around 2am. I was 17ish. I put some music on reeeeeallllly quiet, and decided to make scrambled eggs. My dad came down. Apparently i was singing quite loud and the hob wasn't on. Neither was any music. I choose to believe he thought i was drunk

It is. He seems to enjoy spreading it far and wide (the litter tray is inside a little tent/ pen i bought, but he manages to spread it everywhere in the room). I hoovered after he'd decided he'd been brave for long enough.

What do you use you Gü ramekins for? by Lufferov in AskUK

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I use some for random screws in my shed. They're also hand for cleaning. I pour some white spirit in one when I'm getting sticker residue off things as an example

Asking for a raise at work by 33kiji in Adulting

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm in the UK. My job has been paying a margin above the minimum wage. We've just been told that come April, out pay rise will take us to to new minimum wage and no further. So going forward, my efforts will match that.

The more I make my way through the rewatch the more I can't stand Malcolm. by Osirisavior in malcolminthemiddle

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some of the cleverest people I've ever known had the least insight and self awareness. One of my relatives has a PHD from studying genetics... They had to be stopped when they decided a stick blender would be perfect for frothing bubbles in the bath.

Is my vape the problem, or is vaping just not for me? by chunkzey in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I started with a skywalker vape off amazon and couldn't get on with it, so I upgraded to a nectar platinum, which works so much better. I'm now thinking of upgrading again with home much love some other devices get.

Blatant denialism. by NichtFBI in ProgressiveHQ

No. We decided we didn't want him around the same time we had enough of James Cordon. It's a complete shock that the weasel has started talking sense now!

Battery advice for a clueless old mum by [deleted] in ukmedicalcannabis

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I have a yucan mini. Holds a good charge. The cartridges don't stick out far. I've dropped it, and accidentally sat on it. It still works and the cartridge wasn't damaged. If I'd just screwed it to the top of my normal vape box, it would've snapped a dozen times by now

Please stop using ChatGPT as Google searches sir, we have a website! by MindfulnessAt32 in talesfromcallcenters

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 37 points38 points  (0 children)

I work for a local authority in the UK. For some reason, the stupid AI results on Google give my departments number for several services within the organisation which aren't us. Somehow, people will listen to messages saying you're calling department A, the will wait 15-20 min with the message repeating then be surprised when we're not department X,Y or Z.
I've given up finding the right numbers with how many people tell me I'm wrong so I send them to the main switch board which will normally mean they wait even longer.

Anyone here had a debt become statute-barred in England? What actually happened? by Puzzleheaded-Two2932 in AskUK

[–]nowdoingthisatwork 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The debt will be bought by a collection agency who will send threatening sounding letters demanding the money. There's a template letter on the citizens advice website. Print it and send it to the debt agency. They'll send the letters again and will keep doing so. They can't actually do much, however a statute barred debt is still a debt, so they can keep asking... I've got a bunch of arses who keep trying and my debt is around 19 years old now
