every day we get a little update from the nursery, which has cute pictures (great), and also a silly AI-assisted explanation of how putting their hands in a big bucket of yoghurt is very important for their development, which I find unnecessary

Observation: Fun Trip to Playground
Intent:
This activity aimed to enhance children's physical development, social interactions, and emotional wellbeing through outdoor play and shared experiences. It also fostered independence, confidence, and communication skills as they explored various playground equipment.

(the parent company said the two companies are very separate!! Realbotix makes companion robots :) :) )

The classroom marks a new venture for Realbotix, a Toronto-based robotics company formerly known as Tokens.com, that helped customers use cryptocurrency to rent “digital land” in the Metaverse. In April 2024, the company acquired Simulcra, the Las Vegas parent company behind RealDoll, which has spent decades creating hyperrealistic sex dolls and later expanded into sex robots that remain on the market today.

WHY WOULDN'T YOU WORRY ABOUT IT TOO MUCH

right. He lands somewhere in the middle. 'Maybe it's a country thing. Some kind of ritual? Or perhaps someone found out you'd inherited the house and is pissed off. Wanted to leave a little message. I wouldn't worry about it too much

WHY NOT

what!

It’s also worth noting that flight attendants, once hired, are covered under the Railway Labor Act (RLA) rather than the National Labor Relations Act (NLRA) or the Fair Labor Standards Act (FLSA) (the latter two being the laws that set out rights and protections for most American workers), which has led to things like flight attendants not being paid for airplane boarding time.

what study was that lol

Interesting you say that- reminds me of the study I read that said thousands of years ago, folks with ADHD were actually significantly better at hunting and gathering.

people are always asking AAM "is this [totally bonkers one-off event] a new trend?" like this one person starts their email with this normal question but then it turns out that their employee KILLED SOMEONE

Is it common for a manager to be demoted over the actions of one of their reports, when they had no knowledge or control over what happened?

Right get out, you're taking the mickey now

In the kitchen it twirls, this linguine delight, Long, slender strands, a pasta so light. On the fork it dances, a graceful ballet, A symphony of flavors in a savory display. Al dente perfection, a texture so divine, Each bite is a journey, a culinary sign. Saucy companions embrace every strand, Tomato, garlic, basil a taste so grand. From Italy's embrace, this pasta unfolds, A story on the plate, a tale to be told. Linguine, oh linguine, your charm never fades, In the world of pasta, you've certainly made waves.

I can't express how amazing the linguine packet looks in the cupboard. When I open it, it's like the scene from Pulp Fiction when they open the briefcase!

Always enjoy an insight into other people's minds... here's some people who have reviewed Tesco linguine for some reason

Five stars. It was fine. perfectly accompanied my sauce

**** As I would expect it to be
*****tasty and does not cook too soft
***** Great pasta. Very good pasta

Nona approves. ***** Great for dogs and meatball as the linguine picks up the sauce a little better than spaghetti

UPDATE :As the person who asked the question

The answer is like the same response one who would get asking my HR manager

I spoke to an ex- colleague earlier today who told me how operation has slowed down significantly and they are now stuck in a cycle of useless meetings that do not result in faster turnover

My opinion is that the “political game” is just a fancy way for people who lack technical skills to go under the radar and turn the office into a ‘cultural’ site where relationships matter more than work

Which maybe is the point of the post, that’s what office work is, but it’s a huge issue for those of us who grew past 13 yrs old mentally
