                  TBH working as a bouncer, the 90s/00s BDSM crowd was probably my favourite for crowd behaviour. They didn’t get messy intoxicated. They were big on respect and consent. If anyone behaved really badly, they were ostracised from the community.

      My dad has worked for his company for about 15 years. They implemented psychometric testing about 10 years ago. If he had to do the psychometric testing, I’m not sure they would’ve hired him. He’s very good at his job, but is pretty much the laughing stock of the office.

      If it’s a Myers-Briggs type test, It’s been debunked as not much better than horoscopes. Vague traits that might seem adaptable to almost anyone, and no correlation to job suitability. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Myers–Briggs_Type_Indicator

    I know I keep saying tinyest’s language is exploding. but hes now repeating almost all words said to him (or trying to anyway). He can now say “if you say so” and uses 2 words together pretty frequently. Sadly its “daddy, no” a lot of the time. But hes also become a lot less stingy with his hugs. And you best be prepared cause sometimes they are surprise hugs.

      One of my boys is a real talker. He’s at the same stage saying things like “this is mine”, “See you later”, and “see you tomorrow”. My girlfriend asked him what I do at work and he said “Helping old people” because that’s what she says to him when I go do my tech support sessions.

    Did a first aid course today. It was way more interesting then I expected (I am scarred by some terrible OH&S seminars). Also a bit confronting. And there’s an app you can sign up to and opt-in to be notified if someone nearby is having a cardiac arrest. So you can hightail it there and help while the ambulance comes. On the one hand I’d love to do that but it also terrifies me

      I was working at this joint and I had to study for my first aid renewal. The Minister came in with his grand kids to have a chat. This little boy about 4, grabbed the handle of the iron and went to pull it off the ironing board towards himself. Fuck me. I took the biggest step and managed to grab it in time. When they left someone said “You nearly had to use your first aid then. That was a real life scenario”.

          I hadn’t realised they had widened the criteria to anyone with first aid qualifications, when they started it they just had off duty paramedics and similar using it. It’s a good idea, but it would definitely be confronting if it happened.

              i hate doing life saving first aid, I get real shook up after

              once gave a 4 year old at a kids party a strong whack on the back as he was choking on a big gummy snake, he had blocked his windpipe. He was white, making no noise, making coughing movements, flailing a little. I jumped over chairs and tables to get to him when I saw what was happening. Other mothers at the party looked at me like i was an idiot.

              one time getting aid for a stabbing victim lying on the street, other times was just helping with car accident type things

    One of the pumpkins has aphids really severely and it’s starting to spread to the others…

    I’ve sprayed soapy water and physically wiped as many as I could off but am a bit worried. Especially as ants are farming them.

        That’s a good idea. I’ve scrubbed off as much of the heavy infestation as I can but maybe there’s enough to get them to stick around for a bit

            Oh damn, there was a praying mantis but it seems to be gone.

            There was a ladybird sitting on the zucchini plant a week or two ago but I didn’t want to move it to the pumpkin plants I had just sprayed (even though organic) and it also hasn’t stuck around.

            I bought some dill to help attract ladybirds back and be a sacrificial plant

    Dumbest thing I’ve done in a bit today.

    I went to grab a snack from the lunchroom and ended up with a little biscuit and tried to eat it.

    The texture strange and didn’t break up like I thought so I chucked it in the bin.

    Couple of hours later I look again at the box of snacks and see in light pen on the lid “Not Edible”.

    It now dawns on me that I tried to eat a biscuit made out of plasticine.

    I was tired this morning :(

      Maybe the real dummy is the one storing plasticine biscuits in the lunchroom though? Just why??
