The corporate world is truly surreal, 2hr “2027 strategy” meeting with 15 senior leaders… only takeaway is to schedule another meeting w/c 20th April after talking in circles & of course we had at least 3hrs of meetings preparing for this. Unbelievable
@TinyWriterLaura My GP requires 5 full business days (so effectively with weekends- 9 days) & will only allow you to reorder repeat prescriptions when you have 10 days left…
Things have got undeniably more expensive but I really do think life feels so unaffordable because of the fiscal drag / tax thresholds being frozen. Any payrise has been negated by tax. It is so frustrating
Should have been graduating my PhD today, but alas instead I’m still chasing a non responsive external examiner about a new (extremely postponed) VIVA date. Academia is not for the weak
Handed in my PhD thesis in March of this year, examiner has repeatedly deferred my Viva & is now asking for end of Jan 2026. This limbo is agonising - I’ve done my work and now the University is withholding the final steps 🥲😅
