I don't actually know what "downtown" means and it's too late to ask

What's the best place to go for a prediction on how the weather will be in May?

No true artist is going to get upset if you "erase [their] identity as an artist". They will feel overwhelming relief

Hoping to finally pick up one of those part time jobs that come with An Identity™ so I can stop having to tell people I'm an artist

If someone has a problem with me in my day to day life, they can't appeal to my parents, they can't have a word with my husband, they can't try and make a vexatious complaint to my employer. This should be normal, but it's not for most people. While I am used to individuals trying to elbow their way into a supervisory role in my life, it's weird watching how large organisations go about it.

Spotted a job with free epilepsy training, which would be ideal because I've been freestyling these seizures for a while now and could do with more of a formal structure

I'd be laughing about all the unfilled poorly paid vacancies that are hard manual labour + require a driving licence, but they're care assistant vacancies, and while these employers are playing chicken with a rapidly shrinking demographic of able bodied people, vulnerable people are going without health and social care

The NHS BANK are still trapped in a "doing you a favour" mentality, expecting you to pay for your own DBS on a £10.50 p/h casual job, and an invasive and unfriendly onboarding process. Local corporate agencies are paying the same but also offering DBS for free and being a lot less invasive and more pleasant. You'd accuse the NHS of being short sited if it wasn't deliberate on a systematic level

While these agencies are wildly profiteering from public money which is never acceptable, weirdly enough a fair amount of the massive fee they'll be asking for probably actually is because it's covering basic additional provisions for the workers

I have actually applied for my dream job, have a couple more that I'm ambivalent about I'll try and I'm determined I'll at least try and find some sort of health/social care vacancy that isn't wildly piss taking. I've spent a 3rd of my life (and nearly my whole working life) living in this town which makes the search so much easier, because I know through word of mouth which employers to dodge

Look, if you have a drivers licence and full access to a car, are able bodied, AND can pass an enhanced DBS check? You don't have to accept bad work conditions and around £11.50 p/h

My 2023 New Years resolution of putting more effort into breakfast is still going ok. Four months in and cooking for breakfast is a natural part of my morning routine. The food I'm making is still very basic but I've learnt lots of new stuff along the way. I can't see myself going back to how I was before.

cool. In the space of two years my energy bill has trippled while my energy usage has gone down.

Any recommendations for a Mastodon server to move to? Toot Wales aren't blocking someone who found out about an art event I was running at work via Mastodon and turned up to it, who has subsequently asked me out twice, the first time being he ask me (btw significantly younger than him) to go on a van holiday to a remote location and the second time this fucking state of an apology that was sent via Mastodon.

@teamtoot Just to clarify, my workplace is barring someone who turned up to an event due to their behaviour which was sexual harassment. Their point of exposure to the event was toot.wales. This is something you can easily rectify by blocking them but are unwilling to do. So you are willing to put other women at risk when they advertise or attend events publicised on here?

The absolute state of this. From someone who's not even divorced yet coming into my studio to waste my time trying to convince me to get in his van all the way through to a "nah this is fine let's see what happens" response to the report
