I want a new job - any suggestions?

@boymonster @vampiresnvino Don't have that. I do have an almost complete set of the first edition books but not that.

What sort of fucking incompetent institution puts together an induction course which locks each section behind the completion of the previous section but then fails in making the section actually unlock.

What sort of fucking stupid institution asks you to complete an online induction course when you've been working for them for seven years?

@CassassinB The absolute best thing about remakes done well is the unexpected new things that catch you off guard.

@boymonster Snuggles, he just wants to give you a hug, you know, curl up around you on the sofa.

@BrickMorpork @LEGOIdeas “* The vermine is a small black-and-white relative of the lemming, found in the cold Hublandish regions. Its skin is rare and highly valued, especially by the vermine itself; the selfish little bastard will do anything rather than let go of it.”

@boymonster Mind you, I suspect my fondness for smart women has a lot to do with Romana and Nyssa :-)

@boymonster I guess I'd've been about ten or eleven when I first read the Basic set, so maybe she is why I've a soft spot for warrior women now you mention it.

Joy - starting with the lurgi before the students even turn up this year 🤒

@boymonster I'm not a huge fan of crime dramas, they only usually catch me when they throw in a supernatural or sci-fi element. The Rising was really good.

@LindaKKaye Nice.

This is an excellent infographic and perfectly summarises many of the key points that we spend our time debating against 🤓

@garethlpowell You are giving me traumatic flashbacks to my childhood. Bleagh!

@timeshighered why should learn some basics of gears?

@AndreaGStewart @s_t_gibson @LeowAmy WARLORDS OF WYRDWOOD by @dedbutdrmng is out September 10th! This is the second installment in a new epic fantasy trilogy set in a forest straight out of darkest folklore with outlaws fighting an evil empire and warring deities. bit.ly/3WiqkZC

@DrKowert @sesamestreet @mxiety I feel the same about the day I met a Gromitt that had been used in filming :-)

That moment when you realize your career peaked a few weeks ago and it's all downhill from here @sesamestreet @mxiety

@ColleenDoran Mind you the biggest thing I learned was when you manager complains about your time management the best thing to do is, when given a new task, ask if it is more or less important than the rest of the tasks you've been given.

@ColleenDoran Got sent on a time management early in my career and was stunned to see that when asked to assign tasks to two axes - important vs urgent, people still wanted to prioritise urgent unimportant tasks over important not-urgent tasks.

@BrickMorpork They are easily identifiable when posted by Brick-Morpork. Posted by anyone else without a Pratchett/Discworld tag not so much. I love 'em.

Ignoring the building (which is a first attempt at the Ankh-Morpork City Watch House at Pseudopolis Yard which I am not very happy with!), what are peoples thoughts on the inclusion of microscale LEGO figures? Are these examples easy enough to identify and should I include them?
