Trivial Grumblings

[NeglectedField]

This hangover is getting worse.

Apparently have to apply for checkouts supervisor like everyone else. Wouldn't care but, in all honesty, the job should be mine. Not being arrogant, but no other applicant will be able to say they can already do the job, so seems like I'm kind of wasting my time.

Why do people bother with these hedges?

I believe it is a legal requirement. If they don't make the job "available" to others then it's seen as nepotism, even if the vacancy is already filled bar the signing of the contract.

This.

If they just put you into the job they could get done for not allowing the opportunity for others to put in for it.

Which is making me terrified. I got my contract extended as I'm still technically temporary, but in September they're looking to make it permanent.

I can do the job, and I'm experienced with all the systems they use and all that, but what if some dude with like 10 years experience in a similar role rolls up and they're like "Oh, fuck this Joe guy"

That porn 2048 got me back on the original.

So close!

Does the new number pop up in a completely random location or is there something to it? Also what makes 4s appear sometimes instead of 2s?

[Jim]

I think when you get to 128s then 4s start appearing as well as 2s.

The new number will pop up somewhere entirely randomly in an empty square after your move.

[Tet]

Nope. 4s appear from the very start. As far as I can tell, it's a 2 or a 4 at random.

[peypea]

Started tidying. CBA to carry on. Tired and halfway to sick.

[Fjar]

Boiling hot train from Basingstoke to Birmingham, two hour journey with horrible children being noisy, coughing and whining, plus a hangover that got worse as the journey went on.

[peypea]

How do people manage to smile without looking horrendous? I have no idea how to do it. Stupid face.

[Katesyl]

If it's natural and sincere people generally seem to warm to a smile whatever it looks like.

(This is from someone whose family joke about having not seen her teeth for many years.)

[peypea]

Even my natural smiles look horrendous though. I guess I'm just destined to look grumpy for life.

[NeglectedField]

How bad a smile looks is proportional to how coercive the instruction to smile was. True for the best of us.
