That's never going to work. Too long a period, and the average person won't use local/independent stores to stock up in advance.

Also, why is "No restaurants" on twice?

Watch out for splinters!
Well done! I'm proud of you, and that's an amazing step to take for yourself. I hope something amazing comes up for you
We've got a service handover code-freeze coming in on 1st Nov, so desperately trying to get the final release out - and devs had to down tools this morning because of it.

Not bad for my first day this week covering our service delivery manager!

Which 50% btw? Left or right side?
Ours has been fun. We use AWS for telephony as well as everything else.

But, I'm in "prepare for handover" mode, so have been gleefully watching everyone else run around like headless chickens on Slack.
Forced to take annual leave. So, my final schedule is:

This week: 3.5 day week
Next week: 4 day week
W/C 3rd Nov: 3 day week
W/C 10th Nov: 2 day week
W/C 17th Nov: 3 day week
W/C 24th Nov: 3 day week - with one of those in office to hand over equipment

WIND DOWN HAS OFFICIALLY STARTED!!!

7 million protesters and zero violence should end the entire idea of a violent left for good but of course it won’t

people playing music/videos on their phone speakers in public is more than just mildly annoying and is instead a leading indicator of the decline of community and empath
Do you have any extremely niche, but serious, ethical stances?

This is an anti-war album. It reflects the weight of fear, noise, and sleepless nights, but also the deep human wish to move beyond them.

Channel 5 setting a Sunday habit of "to Christmas films followed by two NFL games" is ridiculous.

Random, shitty, unheard-of Christmas films this early in the day, this early in the year, is fucked up - even for C5.
Make that walk away more permanent. Be clear that their action (or inaction) is actively hurting you and you won't put yourself in that position any longer.

I've been there, and this sucks. I hope you find some kind of solution.
Personally, I've waited until their in a good place, and spoke to them, explaining the frustration and hurt their behaviour is causing, and setting boundaries for the future. If they can't handle the conversation / don't respect your concerns / boundaries, then walk away.
Just had my anonymous leaver's survey at work. Didn't hold back.

Now my line manager is openly using ChatGPT to find incorrect fixes to problems caused by AI.

So glad I made the choice I made.

Apartheid South Africa was banned from the Olympics for 32 years.

The same people who called Nelson Mandela a “terrorist” now say we can’t boycott apartheid Israel.

They were on the wrong side of history then — and they’re on the wrong side of history now.
You're very welcome. Only two tracks released so far, but both utterly brilliant.
Isn't it just? First time in 27 years of working life I get to do it. With the way the world is going, I may not get to retire, so time to enjoy it!
Exactly. I won't be working in December unless the perfect job comes up (there's an idea in place for that) and we get to go away for Christmas - then reset in new year with an open mind.
Absolutely. 15 years there, and the negative impact on my mental health has only been outweighed this year by one project (that ends in March anyway).

Time to step back, take the payout, and work out what I WANT from life (rather than jumping into the next job because I HAVE to)
Redundancy confirmed!!!

I finish 30th November.

Not working ANY Friday in November. May even have to take a few more days as leave.

Bring on the future!
