Sorry I misread the sentence as just "sent them home" rather than "sent them home to work". Yes that's definitely not allowed!

I think you can be open and honest etc. but the verbal gymnastics of talking to certain people so the conversation is productive can be hard. I suppose. I just don't like hurting folk and get the feeling I do by accident. I don't know what to do to make people like me and it is getting to me.

Did you survive? Well, then. It's been said a million times, but the fact that you actually even stop to consider other people's feelings puts you ahead of probably 90% of everyone. E: and that's why I love you

gh0stpinballa posted:we've been "about to pass through the peak in the next 5 to 7 days" for like 4 weeks now lol I'm not sure why anyone thinks this *isn't* the plan they had in March. Everyone's breaking their arms to pat themselves on the back that we "abandoned" the herd immunity scheme when we're already at at least 40k excess deaths *in one loving month*. "Herd immunity" was never "gently caress it, let them all die", it was "run the hospitalisation rate as high as you possibly can without the rest of it falling over". As it is there's still literally no evidence of us getting test-and-trace up and running and the Tories favoured mouthpieces are all running stories about how we all hate lockdown. The plan is, was, and always will be to try and get us to herd immunity quicker than anyone else so we get a head start on the rest of the world on restarting the economy, and everyone who's supposed to notice and report on this is instead talking about how great it is Boris is back or tutting at people in parks. e: You want evidence of this? Look just how hard we've been trying to get antibody tests working compared to how little we've even attempted to set up antigen testing.

Loki just straight up turned into a female horse, hosed a horse, give birth to a horse with eight legs and gave it to his dad. This was to stop a guy from building a high wall within a year.

Hi I've ignored the thread for a couple of weeks now, but I just had to bring up this comment or commentariatquote:How can the tories be turning Britain into a one party state when clearly the problem lies with the hopelessly divided Labour party who have totally ignored voters' wishes by leaning ever further away from sensible policies ? Never read graundiad comments, you know this, arrrgh

HMRC are apparently eager for employees to shop their possibly fraudulent employers online, but I don't know of another way. And they're implying that they will be checking lots of company records and prosecuting afterwards, rather than offering employees any help.

It's the "I want to speak to the manager" of politics, just shaming people for not aligning their politics to their desire to not be bothered by anything in life because they are blinkered, selfish little shits. The only answer is to tell them to accept that other people want different things in life, and if they don't like it and aren't willing to fight for an alternative then they can gently caress off. It won't convince them, but some people just need to be rudely shut down.

Just been to get a roni test. I was able to book online yesterday but no tests were available at the test centre closest to me, so had to do a 40 mile round trip to the next closest. You get emailed a scan ID which is screened through your car window (no opening of windows unless told otherwise). There were two cars in front of me, and then we were funnelled into another two queues for the two bays that were open - each was like a sort of small marquee tent with three people manning them. There were three cars in front of me at this stage, and the wait was about 15 mins. Also, there were no NHS staff there, just what appeared to be security personnel handing you the tests. This also meant that everyone was having to administer the tests themselves, but on the booking website it tells you that you have the choice of the NHS staff doing it or you doing it. Not here. When you get into the bay, the staff hold up a card with a mobile number on and you have to call them. They tell you the procedure and then someone else comes over to the other window, you roll it down a bit and they chuck the test through the window along with a few tissues. Then you go and park up and administer the test. The test comes with an instruction booklet that isn't entirely clear tbh. It asks you to register if you haven't already but I wasn't sure what they meant. A helper was there and I had to call his number (remember - no windows are to be left open) to confirm that I did not need to do this again since I booked online yesterday. Whatever. There's a swab about eight inches long and you have to scrape the back of your throat and tonsils with it for 10 seconds, followed by up your nose and twirl for another 15 seconds. The throat scrape was horrible as I kept gagging, so did that one about 5 times. The nose twirl makes you sneeze. When done, you have to snap off the swab into the test tube with a formula at the bottom, screw shut and seal up the bag they gave you. Round the corner into another queue to dump it into the bins. Should hear the outcome within 48 hours but could take up to 5 days. The whole thing took about half an hour, which is the timeframe for slots you can book. It was orderly and the security staff were helpful and courteous, with lots of thumbs ups which kind of made me feel at ease tbh, although the tests not being done by professional staff concerns me. What I don't get though, is this: I'm in Birmingham - there are three football grounds in the city with large carparks right outside that could also be used for testing. Not to mention the VAST carparks at the NEC and airport, both of which have great access to the nation's motorway network. But the only place to get tested in Brum is at Warwickshire CCC in Edgbaston - the next closest is Worcester, where I went. Why not have the testing at the NEC/airport? It's massive and much better connected. Dog Pipes fucked around with this message at 14:30 on Apr 27, 2020 |

Ah you're a good egg Josef, I think a lot of people who get into twists about the way they interact with people should care less and those that don't should care more - as a rule of thumb. Similar goes for wondering 'does such and such a person like me' or 'should I leave this job' or 'am I being too quiet' - if you're asking yourself chances are it's right (unless you're wondering if you're socially awkward - you're not, but then being aware about being socially awkward makes you awkward)
