No you don't, just become obsessed with electronics and software and become a wizard yourself.

To be ignored and ignore world around them, just create a couple of Rave pens and some Punk pens for Gen X and leave them to it.

UK, 25 days as standard (not including paid bank holidays) plus my employer has the option to buy/sell up to 5 days so I usually buy 5 extra. Also, if you have left over holiday days, you can carry over 5 to the next financial year.

Additionally, the standard legal of 9 months maternity leave.

Also, unlimited paid sick days providing you don't take the piss; longer than 3 days you should ask for a note from the GP. Longer than 2 weeks you should arrange a meeting to discuss the situation and what (if any) adjustments can be made.

I will also point out that mental conditions must be treated the same as physical conditions so if you need to take a mental health day then you can.

Also my job is very flexible about working arrangements.

The standard is hybrid working, 2 out of 5 days in the office. But depending on what your job is you could be fully WFH or full-time in the office.

If you feel you can only work part-time and your manager agrees then you can.

And the contracted hours are 37.5 per week and flexible start so you must be available between the core hours of 10am to 12pm and from 2pm to 4pm, and as it's the UK Fridays you can finish at 12. Providing you've logged enough hours for the week, if you want to finish early you can or take a longer lunch break to run an errand.

Oh and the cherry on top is the company tries to match annual pay rises with inflation and give a very good reason if they can't fully match it. That's not very common in the UK and one of the main reasons, aside from the fact that it's a nice place to work, why I've stayed with them because I don't feel pressured to move jobs to stop my pay getting eroded by inflation.

Oi, where did you get your hands on that slide from the DSTL training presentation?! That's marked as confidential!

Do you even have your secret information licence?!

 

This has been shining in my eyes for the last 10 minutes whilst the bus driver takes a break.

 

This isn't your mother's cottage pie, this is an epic two and a half hour culinary quest to conjure the most tastiest comfort humanity has discovered so far.

The pie is layered with beef or veggie mince, then crispy onions soaked with garlic, tomato, and chilli puree, butter soaked mixed vegetables, slathered in a vegetable and red wine gravy, and topped with a cheesy and creamy smooth potato and carrot mash.

My aunt and uncle now lie in a food coma whilst I have shed a single solitary manly tear as I fear this might be my peak, though I will never stop climbing to greater heights of taste!

Title picture shows a large beef mince portion for myself and my uncle. The picture in the body text below shows a small meat-free portion for my aunt.
