Bought a bottle of Young's Chocolate Stout today, reminded me of when I used to drink at the Mitre by Lancaster Gate when I was staying in London.

Unfortunately I can't help you but I have a similar thing with a show I saw when I was little too, which is hard to search for because there were so many supernatural/sci-fi/horror/dark comedy kids' shows in the 80s and 90s. Mine was more of a horror story, possibly Goosebumps but for some reason I doubt it, about these kids going on a quest for something and it mixed live-action with animation, including a bit where a kid imagined he was being eaten by a witch. At the end they got stuck in slime. It freaked me out and I've never been able to find out anything about it online. I feel like it was too late for Dramarama (more 90s than 80s) and I don't think it was Round the Twist because I think it was on ITV and it doesn't strike me as a Paul Jennings story.

Ha ha, I found those posts while I was searching: nobody had an answer for that guy, either. Glad to know I didn't just imagine the whole thing, though.

Salisbury Snape posted:Eh I go through a 200g jar of instant a week Ah, that explains it a bit - you probably won't save money by switching to coffee grounds, but the caffeine kick from freshly brewed coffee is a lot stronger. You may be able to cut your consumption in litres down a bunch if you want. 3 mugs of filter coffee after work would have me hulking out and obsessively cleaning stuff for 10 hours.

Put together a personal statement type thing for work promotion. Thought it was sufficiently smug and self promoting, sent it to my boss for comments. Apparently I need to "be more positive and less introspective". If they want me to be an autofellating oval office they should just come out and say it, and then I can start telling lies the way politicians do.

why would you buy e.g a lawnmower that has an advert saying "largely ok but needs support on tasks it has limited experience of, also has anxiety" personal statements are all aggrandizement

This is an entirely internal promotion, to do the same job in the same way for a bit more money. But you have to apply for it like it's a whole new role because the civil service is allergic to people staying in a single job.

Just tell them that you're the best. Around. And nothings gonna ever bring you down. Then slowly rise up on a stage while fireworks go off behind you. I think there is a teams background for this. I need to use my work VPN to access my spreadsheet, but the website the spreadsheet links to doesn't work with the VPN turned on. Means I have to enable and disable the VPN every 2 minutes, and makes me want to kill every person who works in our it team, but that is a normal feeling. To be fair they don't much like since I told the lead intranet person that our intranet was not fit for purpose and the thought of using it made me feel physically sick.

If it’s civil service The person who reviews your application won’t be from your department and won’t know you so you got to big yourself up.

There are tables to fill in with your historical output quantity and assessed quality, there are three boxes for my group head to fill in supporting my professional, technical and cultural capability. I (along with my line manager) thought it was space for a behavioural, personal-motivational type thing. The fluff to go with the numbers and third party support. But apparently they want me to say "I know things real good so I don't need to look stuff up" and "the table of quantified performance above shows..." Waste of loving time, and unnecessarily stressful bullshit. It's not even a contested promotion. There is no limited number of jobs available. They expect everyone to reach at least this level.

ughhhhh withdrawing from opioids sucks. I mega wanna go to the gym today but I still feel pretty rough (not as bad as yesterday though, was legit questioning if I was dying). Just pottering about the flat doing laundry and stuff but feeling exhausted after every little task booo. I hope this all fucks off ready for restaurant reopening next week, I'm on a 12-close shift on Monday
