I'd love to see some research on damage to brand reputation based on job ap experiences. It's mad orgs are happy to alienate so many people based on their inability to send one polite generic rejection email. #jobs #jobsearching

I feel like I have spent at least 10% of today trying to get bees that have accidentally come indoors to go back out again.

Did 12 hours of paniked sorting through paperwork, correspondence, and general ephemera at my Gran's house today, before it's sold next month. If they ever bring back Green Shield Stamps, we're going to be quids in.

Lest we forget, we didn't invent the side-hustle. From a copy of Womancraft magazine, 1975.

I took a couple of hours of leave today so I could go home early and eat profiteroles in the bath. No regrets.

I've had my jumper on inside out all day. I noticed at lunchtime, but the effort involved in taking my jumper off and putting it back on again felt insurmountable.

The TiVo box is on 100% and we've reached the ultimate relationship impasse. Do we delete the three series of Steptoe and Son he's recorded, or the 24 episodes of Bulleye I'm saving for a rainy day?

It's the last day to contribute to the consultation on the proposed closure of Abbey House Museum as a LCC cost saving measure. I love this place, and it would be a huge loss to the area if this is allowed to happen. museumsandgalleries.leeds.gov.uk/pQoMAtw/abbe...

At work today, a man from the LD group told me that my 'ideal boyfriend' would be... Michael Parkinson. A man 45 years older than me, who is also dead. Big confidence boost.

Just a reminder that our next weekend event is Potato Day on 16th February. Last year the seed swap was a roaring success, so if you're sorting your seed boxes over the next couple of weeks, do put aside anything you don't need to swap for something new to you. #potatoday #seedswap #growyourown

Our team meeting started with everyone wishing happy birthday to a 20 year old carrot in a jar, which, I think, in some way contextualises how I have completely failed to adequately explain what I do for a living to anyone in my family.

Picked up a gorgeous pamphlet in a charity shop today and am currently feeling indignation on behalf of all the wonderful illustrators of ephemera past whose work was never credited.

After the US election, I set myself a new challenge: reading at least one literary fiction work set in every American state. First post here: booktripping.wordpress.com/the-pacific-...

The Pacific Northwest
Idaho, Washington, Oregon & Alaska. Though it’s an unofficial geographic region of the US, the Pacific Northwest is a term that is meaningful to the people that live in the states of Washington…
