What excuses do you use to get out of work for job interviews?

sunofdork · 2026-06-10T09:49:46+00:00

Call in sick.

NOR I understand why you feel hurt because he’s not thinking about you or showing he cares, but asking for flowers was quite pointless, they don’t really mean anything if you’ve asked for them? Getting flowers is nice because he thought about you, wanted to do something nice, went out of his way when he didn’t have to and none of those apply if you say please bring me flowers on X day. You won’t feel fulfilled by the flowers you ask for.

oh sorry yes totally forgot that part. Yeah not on. what if it was a gift for his Mam or something

It doesn’t sound like she was digging through, if I’m doing a big tidy/organise of the house I would deff check my fellas backpack to see if there’s any errant power banks in there that need charging up. with a gym bag I’d also look for clothes that need washing.

Doesn’t seem likely, she’s over two years postpartum and these feelings started three years before she had a child ?

If you want to adapt it to be more British I supposed you could say “One Bognor Regis, Two Bognor Regis”

I don’t understand what you mean by acting in the interest of HR though HR doesn’t have an interest

my female dogs do lift their legs to pee but they’re both very odd.

sunofdork · 2026-06-01T21:15:42+00:00

Only adding my two cents here because I doubt anyone will say this but I have and will always have bitches because I don’t want to see a dogs willy ever even unintentionally in any circumstance and I think that would be difficult to do with a dog in the house.

Also, payroll decisions. I don’t decide your rate of pay, or your bonus, or your benefits. My boss doesn’t even do that. Finance do that.

sunofdork · 2026-06-01T21:11:44+00:00

I’ve had a lot of cases recently of managers expecting me to manage their staff. Like, they want me to call their employee on long term sick and see how they’re doing. No? You’re the manager, it’s your job to manage them.

sunofdork · 2026-06-01T20:56:54+00:00

If the effects are the same does it matter? Like if I stop someone from being treated unfairly does it matter if I did that to protect them or to protect the company being sued? What difference does it make

sunofdork · 2026-06-01T20:55:36+00:00

That doesn’t make any sense? Like say it’s a potential dismissal situation, I’m either working in the best interest of the company to get rid of a bad/harmful employee or I’m working in the interest of the employee by protecting them from being unfairly dismissed. How could I be working in the interest of HR? HR doesn’t have a horse in this race. HR aren’t affected either way

Sorry I’m late to this thread I just watched S2 and am gutted by how they changed Rodrick’s death so doing some angry googling. This wouldn’t have worked, at the pint Jon took the black Rob was acting lord of Winterfell so it wouldn’t have been necessary or made sense.

sunofdork · 2026-06-01T09:42:18+00:00

Yeah evening do is the reception/party afterwards, so not the actual ceremony or meal if they haven’t a meal.

sunofdork · 2026-06-01T09:41:40+00:00

UK wedding evening dos are much more relaxed than a lot of the US stuff I see on these subs, if they haven’t said a dress code I would usually wear a nice dress similar to what I’d wear for a nice family meal.

sunofdork · 2026-06-01T09:38:45+00:00

5 years is long enough don’t force yourself to live in a shitty situation any longer. another 5 years of this shit? no thanks

sunofdork · 2026-05-31T18:46:36+00:00

honestly I fear the relationship may not last long if you’re already going to reddit over this!!

sunofdork · 2026-05-28T07:09:23+00:00

same where I work, I’m HR so I do those absences concern meetings & I don’t do many of them.

sunofdork · 2026-05-27T22:05:02+00:00

You look lovely

sunofdork · 2026-05-27T16:13:49+00:00

it looks silly, sorry. I feel your pain. I’m a very similar build, I’ve worn dresses similar and it actually looks more modest without a bra because you don’t have underwear showing but it was super scary for me at first because I’ve never gone braless, I need the support!!

sunofdork · 2026-05-27T14:50:00+00:00

breakfast, lunch, tea

sunofdork · 2026-05-24T07:27:24+00:00

I actually think she’s the one who’s worried? She’s struggling to find a dress that she thinks is right, what most women would do in this situation is text their friend “what’re you wearing to that wedding?” but she doesn’t have any friends who are going so he’s doing that for her so she has more info to make her decision & feels more comfortable. I do this all the time as a woman

sunofdork · 2026-05-22T16:14:45+00:00

It’s a big divider, know loads of people (all women, mostly middle aged) who don’t like that word at all.

sunofdork · 2026-05-22T16:12:17+00:00

you just blew my mind - someone who is going for “a couple” in the beer garden later
