I was talking to one of my managers yesterday and they were actually glad to be back in work. Allbeit the reason for it is because they have to keep living with family and it has been "a hard loving lockdown", to borrow a term they used. Also dealing with older people is rapidly becoming my least favourite thing to do.

Have you spoken to him about it? You'd hope that with some people being obnoxious is just that they don't realise how big of an rear end in a top hat they are being?

Pantsmaster Bill posted:God, smug centrists are just infuriating. There are two very vocal starmer supporters in my PLP Facebook group who are just unwilling to even contemplate him doing any wrong. Any chance of them flipping or going "poo poo" at anything short of him declaring all clothing outlawed?

I do enjoy how "oh no Labour did call for it but only if it was safe" gets blown to gently caress when it turns out "nope, re-open, I am saying nothing about how efficient it should be, just re-open" Also we are probably going to lockdown again soon. I don't know for how long or what purpose atm though.

jabby posted:I had a nice job at a cinema, easy work, just sell tickets, managers were on the whole friendly. From past experience in managing folks in a similar position you just don't tell corporate anything and if they push it, tell them to gently caress themselves in the nicest possible way.

I haven't read past Snuff. I'd reached a point where I didn't want to read any more Pratchett. I still love Night Watch and so many other stories, and I wish it could have gone on longer, but I like holding the idea of "Pratchett" in my head as it were.

Jose posted:*thinking harder than i ever have before* surely it wasn't the huge amount of londoners turning out for peoples vote marches that caused the north who voted for brexit to reject them Are you saying that people showing up for marches caused people to essentially go "It's only soft Londoners who don't want Brexit"? Like is the animus so raw that if someone in the South does something someone in the North would choose to do the opposite out of spite?

NotJustANumber99 posted:Why waste your time trying to train yourself to ask a question that doesn't come naturally to you? Because it's a nicer thing to ask? Like, it's why I stopped saying "ladies and gentlemen" and started saying "folks" instead. Just a little change that might make some people feel better, it doesn't cost me any thing and you end up being a bit more inclusive.

JeremoudCorbynejad posted:Apparently my wife's office has a rule that no-one, ever, can take two consecutive weeks or more off as annual leave. How legal is that? I know employers generally hold the cards on when and how leave is taken, would be keen to know what posters who know more about it think Is it a rule or something unofficial that is just enforced?

Darth Walrus posted:For anyone confused about what happened here, Corbyn should (according to the Labour rulebook) have had the whip automatically restored when he was unsuspended. Starmer had to specifically block him from regaining the whip, which is within his powers as Labour leader but means that he can't hide behind Evans or the Labour disciplinary process any more (because only he could do this, and because it's an extraordinary action that he had to do deliberately). It seems like such a stupid thing to do!

My mum is being very insistent that I come home for Christmas. It'd just be mum, dad and myself and last time I visited (back in October) I don't think my folks saw my lower jaw during that entire time. Part of me really doesn't want to go back. I don't want to risk infecting either of them.

Worse than that, I'd be going up by train! But she won't though, I don't really want to put pressure on someone who is already petrified of death (that was the MH problem to vastly oversimplify things). I know you folks are right its just getting them to listen. I think dad will understand but sometimes mum doesn't cope well with stuff.

I still remember the first few years I was working at a tourist attraction and a school group came round in the uniforms and people would try to take photos because they were like "how weird". Awkward trying to explain "DO NOT TAKE PICTURES OF KIDS" to someone who doesn't speak your language.

I mean you can be anti all of the above by not interfering, but if you are going to interfere you are pretty much having to back either of those two sides from what I've been told.
