@Plainly_D Any time, I love this job, I get to sound like I'm a b movie sci-fi villain!
Actual sentence I've said at work "the ion pumps have failed, the vacuum has collapsed and the electron gun can't fire. Grab the turbomolecular pump and the nitrogen purge kit"
@Plainly_D hey, I'm a radiotherapy linear accelerator engineer, I service the medical linacs for a hospital in the UK
If you ever want to know anything about the running, maintenance, and safety mechanisms, please send me an email [email protected], I'd be happy to help!
This was without even checking if this was the right property or take a note of who recieved the damned thing!
This isn't really on if the customer doesn't have a disability, but I do, and I now have to lug the fridge to the kitchen. By myself. #DisabilityTwitter@ArgosHelpers
When one orders a fridge, one expects the delivery team to ask where it is going and if one wants it put there. Especially when the customer meets them at the door and is visibly #disabled
Not so with argos, the team rock up, grunt at you, put it down and leave
@ArgosHelpers
@scattermoon It was phenomenal, such an affirming experience and a community I didn't know I needed
Badly organised in the wake of the weather warning, esp wrt accessibility
But it was a reminder that the world is not overly awful
@Bolt_451 MOTHER I DEMAND THAT YOU CEASE IN YOUR ATTEMPTS TO CLEANSE THIS PALACE. I HAVE WORKED VERY HARD TO MAKE IT SMELL GREAT TO ME AND YOU WOULD BE COMMITTING A WARCRIME PROBABLY IF YOU CLEANED IT SO NER
@JoelSymonds999@Digitallouis Not gonna lie, the amount of folk who "accidentally" get twatted on the heel with a crutch after being ableist or cutting infront of me or the folk I'm with, its amazing how clumsy I get when revenge is on the line ๐
@Octav1usKing She left on her own terms, and it sounds like it was in her sleep, so it was fast and she didn't suffer
Take solace in that, the dearest Postmaster left this world loved and feeling nice and safe when she did <3
@Octav1usKing Rest well sweet Postmaster Pretzels, you done good kiddo, you done damned good. May whatever follows be full of eternal treats and endless shenangians and crimes
She left this world knowing she was loved, cherished, and a member of the family <3
@RattyCuties @lizbarnesrhyl All of our 30+ rats have been females, and I can count the number who made it to 2 and half years on one hand, and it hurts so much every time
Massive hugs from my mischief and I, I always take solace when we discover that we've lost one is they went on their terms, no one elses
@RattyCuties Rest well beautiful Lorelai, you done good kiddo, you done good. May whatever follows be full of endless treats, and infinite shenanigans <3
@RattyCuties I have a smol sand box that I put cold water and frozen peas in and then sit and fuss the mischief for a bit, letting them explore the pond on top of the cage whilst I clean their litter and put fresh food out/change water
Cora here doesn't understand the grate, losing peas!
@MrsRieB I've had tinnitus all my life, and I've had headphones or earbuds my person with either a Walkman/mini disc/MP3 player/phone since I was about 9ish, wherever possible in one ear
At night audio books help mask the tinnitus, always books I know well and don't have to think about
