Wow jaysis @Reets that's pretty tough - sounds to me like you're doing meaningful work there though

I was in Cape Town once for a work thing, and on my last day after checking out of the hotel I went on one of those open top bus tour things. Hopped off the bus at some beach and went for a little paddle, and then a fucking huge wave came in and soaked me up to the waist. Had to get back on the...

Whoa! Be sure and post a link when it's published!

My work situation - doubting that the efforts I've been making to get promoted to principal engineer are ever going to pay off. Toying with the idea of getting into management instead, but ... well, I probably have more autonomy as an engineer. Bleurgh I dunno. Maybe I'm not hardcore enough to...

@BOTicelli same picture, but from the perspective of the person

@BOTicelli show me a picture from the perspective of a person riding on the back of a giant turtle who is singing a cheeful song in a baritone voice

That's lovely!

Surely the whole "bought a country pub cos it sounded cool, turned out it wasn't" story would be a winner here

Are you a civil servant now too @Anthony ?

Check out the new travel management my work is using - called "Navan" :ROFLMAO: https://navan.com/uk attn @Anthony

It's WAY easier to fake culture fit in an interview than it is to fake actual skills. I did a technical interview with a lad lately who'd been rated highly by all previous interviewers but didn't have a fucking breeze when it came to tech.

When I applied for the job I have now I took a lot of time over the application, then did a technical test that took me most of a weekend, then had 6 separate interviews Totally worth it. More enjoyable job, better pay edit: having said that I could probably get paid WAY more in google or FB...

Spending a few hours now in order to make more money for the rest of your life doesn't seem worth it?

Do people still ask about weaknesses in interviews*? It's a real underhanded question IMO - very difficult to get anything positive out of it, usually the best you can do is avoid fucking up *where I work we don't fwiw

Embarrassment isn't that difficult of an emotion to just put up with, I think. If that's the only thing holding you back I'd say go for it

Yeah, wouldn't really recommend it

I was in Atlanta once, and with every drink you ordered in the bar I was in they gave you a plastic glass of water. Also they kept all the urinals filled with ice cubes 🤷

It's sweet flavoured tea with little frogspawn-sized spheres of tapioca starch in it

Whenever someone new starts in our place it's announced on slack, and usually the person says something about themselves. Today's new person says they're a big fan of bubble tea, and tells us about their favourite flavour I mean like, holy shit, the most interesting thing you can think to say...

2 of my friends are SAHDs - one works part-time, the other doesn't. They seem cool with it. When our kids were little Mrs. egg_ was "obviously you'd go mad staying at home with the kids rather than working", so she went part-time in her meaningful well-paid job while I continued full-time in my...
