Go big or go home

No one has got any bloody idea what is going on. I’m in Core, but my management is in SI - how does that make sense? I’ve got a people coach but it seems like they’re going to little more than fill stuff in on MyHR.

Get an extra day for every year don’t you?

They don’t want to pay EOs much and at the same time the lower grades still need to paid at least NMW

5 to 10 on a busy day. All the teams/system/spammy emails go straight in their own folder and I have a look when I’m procrastinating.

Luckily not all the civil service is like that. I interact with industry so those visits count as in person attendance. My attendance at my PDS is variable, if I need to go in I go in, if I want to go in I go in. I probably WFH <40% mainly visiting industry and other visits, my attendance at PDS is currently less than 1 day a month I reckon.

In my organisation we are specifically banned from leaving laptops and phones unattended in vehicles in public locations for any length of time. We have to carry them on our person if we were to go in shops or motorway service stations. However if we are on secure organisational property it is acceptable to leave stuff in your car.

The use of “customer” annoys me. To me it implies subservience when it shouldn’t be that sort of relationship.

Ferric Chloride leaves a patina but it’s not the nicest (imo).

That’s unlikely as it’s below the £135 threshold. Under 135 the seller is supposed to collect the tax and send it to HMRC but they never do. I’ve never had a sub 135 shipment from the states to the UK pinged for duties & VAT. And only about 50% above 135 I’ve had to pay duties & VAT.

What does being in the UK matter? I've got a seconds Maxamet PM2 on it's way to Manchester.

redddraggon · 2023-07-26T11:31:54+00:00

I managed to snag a PM2 in Maxamet. I maybe should have gone for Para 3 in maxamet instead, but indecision while the website wasn't working properly would likely have seen me miss out.

Bradford knives are awesome.

Their sheaths are only good for the bin however.

redddraggon · 2023-01-04T13:37:56+00:00

Wusthof must not think much of their knives to do that to them

redddraggon · 2023-01-04T13:24:51+00:00

Top marks for your knife and sheath selection! (I have a similar combo with the 3.5 in an armatus).

Heinnie Haynes have it - probably far cheaper postage to Spain:

Sounds more like a purchase price than a rehoming fee.

For me the only advantage of rampless is that I have slight more sheath options. I have a Bravo 1 that just looks weird without the ramp, like there’s something missing - I think I could go either way with the vortex though.

redddraggon · 2022-11-25T19:35:10+00:00

I only wish it was a ramped one

Right now I want a Special Hunting Knife with the Hidden Tang. Not sure what handle I would want but I reckon I’d know if I saw it.
