And if that doesn't work, you end up having to get your lawyer to send one. And then another one. Then you have to wait for a court date. And then the endless appeals. That's why I elected myself judge, jury and executioner in cases like this.

No real experience with any of this, but, with it being a call centre job and they are indicating there will be role-playing, it is probably a guarantee that they will be throwing some aggressive/difficult/irrational customers at you. Be prepared to be able to keep your cool and to be able to de-escalate the situation.

Reply to Men with prostate cancer who also had relatives affected by the disease – or by other cancers with an inherited element like breast, ovarian or bowel cancer – were up to a fifth less likely to die from prostate cancer or any cause compared with those with no family history of cancer by giuliomagnifico
Because they were more aware and vigilant resulting in earlier diagnosis and treatment. The familial connection is social not genetic.

Reply to LPT: to ensure you get up early and don't go back to bed, put your phone/alarm clock into a bag/backpack/a big decorative Christmas sock along with the mementoes that remind you what keeps you going and why. Put the bag/backpack/sock as far away from your bed as possible. by glas_s_cutter
Grabs bag. Swings violently to smash contents. Back to sleep. Wake up late. Miss interview. Don't get job. Curses OP.

That sucks for those of us who appreciate the dark side of humour. The good news is though, at least I don't have Alzheimer's.

As someone who has been driving in Canada for 45 years, I can tell you categorically that you can have water on top of black ice.

Reply to pink floyd by BattleAngelXX
DSOTM not just because it is (IMHO) a far superior album across the board, but because I don't really consider The Wall a Pink Floyd album. To me it is really the first Roger Waters solo album.

Happens to all of us at a certain age. Wait until your music shows up on the oldies radio station.

I usually trip across (or get recommended) a single song that intrigues me. I then usually go to the album that the song is on and listen to that. If I'm still interested I go to the next album on either side chronologically and keep going forwards and backwards until I hit either end.

Reply to comment by [deleted] in In your opinion, which is better? The original Star Wars Trilogy, or Peter Jackson’s Lord of the Rings trilogy? by Absuridity_Octogon
Actually, it is quite the opposite. LOTR is almost unfilmable and Peter Jackson pulled off something that was considered by many to be impossible. Star Wars was simply an updated version of an extremely common "hero journey" story.

Goes even further than just your examples. Underpad for carpets (more important than the carpet), tires on your car, socks.
