If you've ever wanted to see what it's like to respond code 3 to an accident, guy here has a few videos on his channel in England.

Had a minor train derailment in town this week. We've had lots of rain as of late and I guess it must have made the roadbed on one of the industrial spurs that runs down to the lime quarry a bit slushy and unstable. The lead engine and one car of the daily run out of there stepped off the track on a sharp curve where it rejoins the main line. Speed wasn't too high, so nobody got hurt and damage was minimal, the big problem was that it was blocking a road crossing all day until they got a crane in to re-rail it.

I was reminiscing about this one grocery store job I did during a Christmas factory shutdown and how I planned on getting tear away clothes and putting the “party boy theme song” on a speaker and quitting and dancing out in style and really regretting I didn’t follow through with that.

I went to Mickey Ds for a coffee and my spidey sense went off, I turned and saw this Amistad vantablack chick in a sari but with one of those tshirts you get during some charity walk wandering around, they stared and stared as I sat on the outdoor bench and I’m just thinking “just say it” and guess what, they wanted food. I gave them an ensure from my backpack and they left. They had this zombie look, creepy.
 
I don’t know why people are so proud of working harder but not smarter.
Congratulations, you’re constantly exhausted and get in lots of fender benders.

I forgot to check my email for like 3 days and one of the jobs I applied to on Wednesday offered me an interview on Friday afternoon and I didn't see the email until today :stress:

My boyfriend says its not worth sending them an apologetic email asking to reschedule since they'll have written me off by now, which makes sense since if I'm not organised enough to answer my emails in a timely manner I probably wouldn't make a very good admin assistant. But I hope they don't tell the jobcentre that I didn't reply to them because they'll probably sanction my neetbux if they find out. I'll just have to pretend they ghosted me and hope for the best. On the plus side, I can probably reuse most of the cover letter that I wrote and I have to apply to 3 of these positions a week since they're part of some government program that's supposed to help young neets stop being neets and there's a whole bunch of them so there's plenty more fish in the sea I suppose.

Have you ever wondered why their is no mouse flavoured cat food? Is it for ethical reasons, or for production reasons its unsustainable?

Inefficient to farm mice for food. A lot of fur, organs, and bones, not much meat.
Much better to use byproducts of animal product industries that already exist, which is not limited to chicken beef pork and fish. There are pet foods that include rabbit, possum, kangaroo, etc. I suppose mouse meal could be a byproduct of animal research, but then there is the issue of biohazardous contaminants.

Anyone else not care for any other animal except cats? There's just something incredibly cute and special about them..

We feed the rats to the cats / And the cats to the rats / And get the cat skins for nothing.

You're just lucky toxoplasmosis hasn't figured out a way to get rid of you ailurophobe Nazis yet, because as soon as it does, the cat army is coming for you, bitch.

they should give him a decent car. slow AF. or maybe stop being such faggots about not gov funding the air ambulance. also theres way too much red tape to running air ambulance service in UK on top of charity donation funding. roads are shit and other drivers are idiots.

give them a follow up call to ask why they didnt contact you and to check they received your application, thus making it their fault. if they say they emailed you, say it got sent to spam folder. or you got corona and had to quarantine away from your pc
