I got Royal Marines Officer or prison governor, both of which are laughable to say the least.

If you answer honestly and put "it depends" for everything then it can't assign you to a category, so that much works.

That is so me, I hate when you're forced to choose This or That because usually It Depends.

Eg: do you tell a friend that shirt is hideous?

Friend picks up hideous shirt in shop and hasn't paid: I grimace and say yuck.

Friend disappears in shop and reappears with paid-for hideous shirt: I try to smile and say, yes that will go well with that blue scarf (which happens to cover her entire top half).

When I tried it it was surprisingly accurate, most of it were roles in computing, editing/translation or social work, all of which I've either done or could see myself doing. YMMV.

It suggested "creative and media" for me, to which I thought "oh hey, that could make sense, something like game development is my ideal career" only to click on the button to show more detail and be told that I should be an actor presumably because I said I'm comfortable talking in front of people and can read well.

I said I wasn't comfortable talking in front of other people and it suggested I should also be an actor, so it must just be your ability to read

I said I liked to order other people around and take control of situations and disliked literally everything else and it said it couldn't find me any job.

Perhaps if there was a free text entry box where I could say I went to Eton it would offer politician.

Very quick decision: at 16:50 on Friday evening (because why do all disasters in the making take place after 4pm on a Friday afternoon?) that your clerical officer sent the WRONG ADDRESS to BT to rip out the private wire for a fire alarm and BT, instead of their usual few weeks to take action actually sprang into action the very same day and ripped out the fire alarm wire for a warehouse fully stocked with electronic equipment leaving it unprotected. By 17:00 decision taken by self and manager of guarding division to supply 24 hour guards over the whole weekend at our expense and first 2 guards dispatched to site.

Very slow decision: given that I no longer have the wall space to hang more than 1/3 of my artwork collection, which painting shall I hang and where... 10 months and counting.

(And the decision to actually knock nails into the wall.. OMG .. years).

So, It Depends!

Why is Starmer making his big public stand against the government over 10pm pub closing time?

Like, it is a bit silly and there probably isn't much evidence for it helping but is it really the crucial policy issue Labour draws the line at?

I expect he's harking back to the days of "beer and sandwiches in No. 10" as a way to appeal to the former labour voters of the Red Wall.

(I mean by prioritising the getting or otherwise of beer. Surprised he's not also asking to bring back smoking in pubs. Remembering the first time I went to an EEPTU meeting as union rep in a smokey basement in London somewhere, the handful of old blokes looked at this 23 year old female with some shock.)

It's the fact that Boris plucked it out of thin air, so it allows Keir to show he's making it up as he's going along.

It's cool and good that the government's career advice is literally a buzzfeed quiz. Can they tell me which harry potter house I'm in next?

At least Buzzfeed quizzes are 10 questions rather than 50.

Anyway, I got Social Care & then they narrowed it down to Sexual health adviser which is not a terrible job at all but I'm not sure I'm really the right person to do it.

Klopp's 13pts clear thanks to video ref

I'm just watching the PMQ "highlights" because I'm a masochist and Starmer has done such a massive own goal. He made this big song and dance about "why doesn't the government tell us the reasons why they're doing dumb rules" (not, notably, get rid of the rule. The closest he came to that was "review the rule"), and Boris can just get up and say "well you supported us in everything we did. Why are you now saying you disagree? Is it for politics hmmm?"

Just, giving the Tories an easy out every single time.

What a waste of space and oxygen.

I guess "with friends" is the obvious absence in my life though I'd much rather go somewhere with better food if I'm going with other people.
