Your skin colour, religion, gender and sexuality are not how I will judge you. It's what's in your heart that counts.
I shall have to watch this later as I'm currently in the GP waiting room, but good to see the trailers are mini episodes again.

Needless to say, going to be pre-ordering this despite being unemployed.
Just incredible. Also, this shows you can make Doctor Who, proper Doctor Who on a presumably tiny budget if you rely on script over spectacle. Also, what happens next?

Disgusting that someone who doesn't even live in this country can have such power in UK politics.

Not that I'd be likely to apply to them, but Qinetiq is now on my job blacklist.

A little later than normal, but good morning all 🌞

Off to the GP this afternoon for a health MOT, could be interesting.

Hope everyone has a great day 🤞

The episode of The New Avengers that was shown on Tuesday had Brian Croucher, Wednesday's had Stephen Grief.

And the Tuesday episode had a character called Travis.

Spooky.

Did you hear about the shoplifter caught stealing a copy of Ulysses?

He got a very long sentence.

It's ironic, turning things around and no longer being a recluse has been helpful in stopping my redundancy dragging me into depression, but I'm feeling the reduction in interaction with people more acutely than when I've been here before.

One person in particular I miss not having around more 🤗

Just seen a job listing for a company which is boasting that one of their investors is Peter Thiel. Somehow I think I WON'T be applying for a position with them.

Good morning all 🌞

Up relatively early for a meeting with my outplacement consultant. More a formality than anything else, there doesn't appear to be much recruitment going on as we head towards the Xmas period, not that it is a surprise.

Hope everyone has a lovely day 🤞

Cats, it occupied some of James Corden's time and stopped him appearing in something people might actually want to watch.

Bitchy, moi? I really do despise that talentless arsehole. I resent the fact he appeared in Doctor Who and I'm forced to watch him in it.
Defend a terrible film by picking something from it that saves it.

Contrasting customer service.

No complaints about the person I spoke to, they were very helpful, but had an hour wait to speak to customer services at my housing provider.

Then needed to speak to Lego customer services, call answered in a couple of minutes by someone who clearly loves their job.

Good morning all 🌞

Back to the job hunting today after spending yesterday at the hospital.

Seems like everything is making a mad rush into AI, and despite it being relatively new still most jobs are asking for extensive previous experience 🤬

Hope everyone has a lovely day 🤞
