Alex Davis : I know some companies that do sort of ‘school trips’ with their employees. One place I worked at we went on a water sports day out and learnt all about the reservoir we were at worked and then got to have fun doing various water sports or land based activities for those who didn’t want water. Should happen more often imo, was great none forced team bonding. We also did bowling, trips to national trust places and all sorts. They weren’t compulsory but everyone went. Staff moral was so high and I’m still friends with many 10+ years later!

Jason : I’m bad about this in general. If I look like I’m interested it’s cause I’m bored as f**k and have set my body on autopilot so I can dream about anything else. If I look like I don’t care it’s because I’m actually paying attention listening and I’m using that autopilot brainpower to actually compute, remember, and listen to what you are saying. Same with taking notes.

Passerby (edited): I teach online, and I sometimes use those 3 minutes to ponder whether I should quickly use the toilet, or hold it in for a while so I have a legitimate excuse to have a small break during the class. Don’t get me wrong, I love teaching, but it can be so tedious at times, especially when it is at the end of the day and I have been teaching for 5+ hours already. (For reference, I once had around 180 hours of teaching in a month. It’s not my current workplace. Mind you, this is just teaching hour and nothing else.)

HurlWurk (edited): I just reply to emails “my fault, it’s fixed”, and move on. People don’t know how to attack someone that accepts blame easily, but they can waste hours complaining about people who dodge responsibility for missing an apostrophe.

Shanilou Perera

Shanilou has always loved reading and learning about the world we live in. While she enjoys fictional books and stories just as much, since childhood she was especially fascinated by encyclopaedias and strangely enough, self-help books. As a kid, she spent most of her time consuming as much knowledge as she could get her hands on and could always be found at the library. Now, she still enjoys finding out about all the amazing things that surround us in our day-to-day lives and is blessed to be able to write about them to share with the whole world as a profession.
