I'm feeling a fair bit of guilt over my work from home situation, i essentially do 50% of an accounts job with a colleague and she's the kind who does work on a Sunday morning and a Friday night. Shes openly said to me that if we had to downsize she wouldn't want the job and would let me have it. We are quiet right now and my boss phoned this week to say you use the time to catchup any loose ends etc till we know more re the latest lockdown. On the one hand i adore not having to commute to work all week (still go in on Fridays) but on the other hand it feels like no-one cares if i just do the bare minimum which is kinda depressing in its own way

I bought the wife a coffee machine 2 xmases ago, nothing fancy and we dont get the most expensive beans but its ruined all other coffees for me Still love a Starbucks breakfast roll though. The sausages have a pleasant tendency to repeat on oneself throughout the day

When i worked in tesco literally the only person to buy celeriac was a nutty old American woman who made celeriac and onion soup and tried to convince me to do skidpan training

I've known 2 people who claimed to hate food and both were skinny as gently caress and thought they were overweight. Noone just "hates food" without some more glaring sub-reason

Bobby Deluxe posted:The missus grew up with food phobia, parents arguing at mealtimes, pushy grandparents forcing her to eat veg etc. She's said to me many times that if she could just take a pill that gave her the right amount of nutrients for the day, and never have to worry about food she'd be happier for it. Wow that's actually pretty depressing to hear. So like does she not enjoy chocolate?

Bobstar posted:Yeah it's this. Might have been exaggerating slightly, and I have been enjoying cooking things this pandemic, but especially public eating and being judged for what I'm eating, and the rituals surrounding formal communal eating - shudder. The formaler, the worser. I understand that much much more than someone saying they "hate food" but then my single biggest takeaway from lockdown is that i really really miss going out for tea. Not trying to belittle though. I could never understand people who take a dump in the office until there started to be 5 people in here instead of 50.

Feeling pretty anxious about going out for a walk at lunchtime today. I'm in the arse end of Scotland so theres not as much danger as someone in a big city or whatever and I've been trying to be really good this New Year about getting out for an hours walking at lunch but feels strangely wrong today, dunno.

Dugong posted:Having my first Asda delivery arrive today and got an email this morning saying half my items can't be included in the delivery. Is this normal? It's not anything exotic, stuff like bin bags aren't available. You'll often have a substitute if you pick something outrageously fruity - perhaps an exotic Pringles flavour but its normally a 1 item in 40 kind of ratio

I was like fred flintstone, as soon as that bird blasted air it was down tools and out the door If there's one thing that getting a job in construction taught me its that some people really don't know what to do with their free time and as a result dont like having any

Jaeluni Asjil posted:In two of my (male majority) workplaces, there were quite a bunch of chaps (mostly married) who would get in unnecessarily (so I'm not talking about people on shift or on call) at 730-8am and spend an hour or so having their breakfast, reading the paper, taking a long sit on 'the throne' and hanging around with cups of coffee in corridors and between desks going on about how worthy they were for getting in early, how woefully inadequate people getting at - gasp - 930am (despite said later getter-iners staying til 630pm or later), then they would be out the door on the dot of 4pm. Sounds familiar except at my work the folk who were in at 8am were the same ones in at half 6! Used to hate walking past their desks as i bolted out at 5pm!

wow, I had no idea, I've been fortunate enough to have avoided being on unemployment benefit ever and i had it drummed into my head from a young age to look after my money i'm not quite at the level where I wouldn't get any benefits but i'm certainly now questioning why i'm sitting in a freezing cold flat with a 40 year old boiler, dodgy central heating and a few spare thousand in the bank
