Thanks Tess and gently caress you Ange, I know you both mean me. I drafted a long post about my JSA experience 11 years ago but it's staying in my notes.

Long story short I got a job at a mini Wetherspoons airside at Heathrow off a course the Job Centre sent me on. Did two months with a temporary pass while my references cleared. It ran out and I went for an interview for a temp job as a PA at a council. Got that job and got a call from Wetherspoons the same day to say my full pass was ready. I've now been at the council for over 10 years, last 8yrs managing a team of 13 ppl responsible for sourcing care services for 200-300 vulnerable adults a week.

Management is a bitch but I take it very seriously and look after my team. I have been reading the UKMT since like 2011, it's had a massive impact on my politics and that ofc influences how I manage people as well. I feel like I have been posting a bit more recently so you may see more of me. Actually paid to change my username recently (just from Wafflecop, which I nicked from an old webcomic back in the day) and considering an avatar change in the near future.

Woops this is getting long too and I've got to be up with the kids tomorrow so good night UKMT goons. Love from this longtime lurker, intermittent poster.

Thanks for posting and we hope to see you posting with us again soon! I think your username (pre-change) is one I remember seeing somewhere irrespective of the webcomic origin, so good to see you over this way.

Your daily cup of fuck you.
I am in the thankful position that I can generally tell when the time will be when I have to metaphorically “just gonna grab my coat” and then get some other job.

My current one was timed at the end of a contract, completely different industry than I am used to and was a bit of a culture shock both going perm and at a place that moved slowly.

Not had to do JSA stuff since Tony was in charge so unlikely to offer any advice there.

AI seems your best bet for anything required for you to write something for someone not inclined to read it. LinkedIn can be useful just fill it in and add people you have worked with, avoid the recruiters. My only recommendation is asking questions at an interview to gauge how much poo poo you are in for it you get that job.

By-election thoughts: low turnout is interesting, not sure what it is compared to other by-elections but not heard any muttering on voter ID either. I think adding Reform + Tories is a little disingenuous as I don’t think they will all go that way, I think I saw a poll where it would be about 30% or so and the rest will vote for someone else.

You need to consider also they didn’t go for a few seats last time based on something with Brexit, I forgot as it was years ago.

Oh and if you lurk don’t worry about posting.

Hi, the terrible lurker here.

If you knew someone who watches hours of BBC politics every day, listens to the podcast by the racist and war criminal and won’t listen to anyone else under the age of 60, how would you explain to them your perspective?

Is it even worth trying?

We tried, but it didn't work. We threadbanned then before actually banning them.
