I think 'Congratulations' is the most appropriate reply here.

It is, thanks Lorraine

I applied for a job that literally listed my skills and experience and I've dealt with the guy who had the job previously. Didn't even get an interview despite me being who they speak to if they get stuck. I'll be opting to ignore any future requests.


That is beyond frustrating.

I’m at ...

Not high jacking but I am job hunting for the first time in 5 years. It’s horrid - 56 applications so far and 8 rejections. AI gatekeepers 😵

That all sounds really promising. I agree that meeting a human face to face is half the battle won.

What kind of work do you do?


I design and run the cloud platforms that companies’ software runs on. I make sure they’re available, secure, and can cope when thousands or even millions of ...

I got 53.3%

Given how much AI has impacted me I expected it to be lower lol

Oh no. Sorry to hear that.

Have you got any plans or ideas?


Doing the garden mostly :)

I'm applying for roles as you do - currently at well over 100 applications. Feels like I'm back at the start of my career with no experience, generic "no" responses to jobs that I think my skillset ...

Oranges: I have a garden now
Lemons: Got made redundant - 42 days left

Naw. Was too busy - did you go?

The m55 east bound is the best thing in Blackpool…

Glad you had a good time tho

Currently smashing FFXVI to the annoyance of my wife.

I’ll check some of those things out to Lorraine, I live just outside Blackpool now and never go in!

Oranges - ate pizza last night
Lemons - I’m lactose intolerant.

I always thought I made it into at least one of these - maybe it was one of the Christmas photos - which I’ve never seen!

Yes. So old that I forgot my old username so had to ask Beaker to change it for me.

I’m Sephi - former vj/photographer to the Preston alt community circa 2009.

I blame Chris whom I miss very day.

Yeah there are missing people that I think about nearly everyday. Usually find myself looking at the news or current events and thinking “What would Scarface(Chris) think about this?”

I’m probably autistic - if you remember me then you remember my awkwardness. Took a very long time to acknowledge it.

Probably a bit of ADHD too.

Should probably get tested but…

I looked at all sorts of options, but ultimately I figured registering on a proper forum was likely too difficult for the mouth breating flag shaggers while also giving a measure of protection to members from their data being harvested to sell them BBLs and fake Viagra.


This was a great ...

What ever happened to Pish? Charles wasn’t it?

It was more than likely “Sephi”
