I've been having the most surreal #recruitment experience where the company's #HR is gaslighting one of their own colleagues into believing that they are going to be managing the role they are actively hiring for. In the meantime, I've been told outright by HR that this person is not going to be the manager but doesn't know that. Oh & it's all confidential so don't let the gaslit colleague know plz. WTF? 🤨
"No I don't want to work for your company, it sounds toxic AF!"

Just saw the nonsense about national service in the #UK that the #Tories have come out with. 🙄 I presume this is primarily designed to get the attention (& votes) from old codgers who come out with shite like "Young people today don't know how good they have it!" and "In my day we did our national service barefoot uphill in the snow in both directions & it never did us any harm, I'll have you know!"
Weirdly I think I'm going to have to stock up on some spices on a planned trip to the UK soon. We've picked up most of (what we consider to be) the basics but ground coriander of all things is eluding us. 🫤
Argh, my local shop ran out of my yarn for the blanket I'm crocheting so now I'm going to have to ration the half ball I have left until my online order arrives (hopefully next week). 😱
This week I got my residency sorted (yay to being officially back in the EU 🇪🇺) & dodged a bullet for job application. 😅
Employers - if you're in the process of splitting up your company, don't let someone from the other side of the company write the job spec! Especially if everyone who specialises in the subject is staying on the other side & the new role is effectively being cut adrift. Oh & the writer of the job spec isn't aware that the split is looming. 🙄
Just had to bully (in bad Spanish) a poor barman into giving me my pinxtos. ¡Language progress!
(The pinxtos were totally worth it. The little chorizo hot dog had a tiny fried egg on top. 🤤)
I love having a pressure cooker again. Made a very lazy chickpea, lentil & spinach curry for dinner. 🤤 I have leftovers & more leftovers from the freezer.
