Friday afternoon on bank holiday weekend .... No chance.Waiting and waiting and waiting for an email response.... assured I would be emailed straight after our meeting but nope nothing.... I’ve even called and left a message.
For documents I was assured would be with me this afternoon now not looking likely.....
Livid!
God people need to fuck off don’t they. Obv you’d put someone else if you could. Now more than ever people need to be more considerate of others.Picking up on something from the other thread, a few years ago I ended up with an argument with HR when they insisted I add an emergency contact to my personal info.
I put the name of my (then 16 yo) son. Told this isn't appropriate, should be 'a family member over 18'. As the patronising twat from HR put it, 'normally it would be your spouse, but some people put their parents or siblings'
The normally was like a red rag to a bull to me! So I replied pointing out that I didn't have a spouse, or siblings, and my parents died when I was in my 20s. So it would be my son or no one. They backed down.
But honestly, yet another example of stupid policies making single people feel like at best an inconvenience.
Is home insurance on the up too?. Our renewal has increased a lot despite no claims. We had some work done at Easter and the builder filed a police report because he thought someone had pinched some spades...I later found them in a bush. Would this effect the renewal?Carry on ranting here ....

Car insurance.
I was looking online because my renewal is up and it's more than doubled! I'm absolutely livid. Nothing has changed in the year. Absolutely nothing.
I'm not surprised people drive without it and would rather take a fine of £300 and some points if they get caught. Absolute rip off.
I don't know TBH. All I know is car insurance is just silly money.Is home insurance on the up too?. Our renewal has increased a lot despite no claims.

picking up from this myself.. and a previous response to my comment about a fire etc.. some ppl ie me just do not have anyone to put as an emergency contact - my family are all dead.. no siblings not that I would put them anyway and my partner lives on another continent.. humans do not all fit into neat little boxes and in 2023 ppl should realise thatPicking up on something from the other thread, a few years ago I ended up with an argument with HR when they insisted I add an emergency contact to my personal info.

Apparently they aren't like they were where you used to have to whisper and kids had to be quiet. Bit of a change isn't it.Took my 3 year old to the library today and it was SO loud. A family had taken a trike and their kids were running riot - screaming, running all over, ramming their trike into things. Another family were also so loud and munching away on a massive share size bag of crisps and chasing the trike family round. My little one likes to sit and read stories and I had to leave because he couldn’t hear me reading.
Told a family member who said I sound like a Victorian for saying libraries are quiet spaces - am I wrong?! I’ve always taught my child to be quiet in a library but apparently this is an old fashioned view and they are there for children to enjoy books and get used to being around books - which is obv but not to use as a play gym at the same time
I was complaining on another thread about our local library, it has been turned into one of these modern shared space things, and has a coffee bar in the middle of it.Took my 3 year old to the library today and it was SO loud.

No need to apologise at all, we all have different problems and issues right now. I’m the same with the friend situation. They’ve all got children I don’t fit into their circle, I keep myself to myself.Ugh, I really think I have undiagnosed autism and no one understands me. I have no friends and my family doesn't bother with me and I want to think it's everyone else issue but surely the common denominator is me so what is wrong with me that no one wants to bother with me? I feel like work dumps me where I have anxiety attacks all the time and my his and says things like if you do it more you'll be okay but that isn't How my mind works. I'm sorry I've done a woe-is-me post now
I can't face going in my library for long as it's so hot. They must think a stripper's arrived if I stay in their any length of time.With you all on libraries. Pretty sure they are still, at least predominantly, places to find, read and study using books and their audio equivalents. Although the last time I was in ours, one librarian could be heard above passing planes and it was mainly full of a particular demographic wanting the internet and then how to photocopy a million documents.
