Hi Jenny, your tearfulness
Posted on Fri, 08 May 2026
Hi Jenny, your tearfulness was likely a result of what your gut already knew but couldn't face until your doctor confirmed it in words. I'm so sorry you're having to go through this. As others have said, please keep writing about anything you...

Sounds like Hell to me, Mark.
Posted on Tue, 16 Sep 2025
Sounds like Hell to me, Mark. What sort of person can thrive in this environment? People go on about processed food, what about processed people? I'm rather relieved to be on low pay with worn out joints because I can be as feral as I like in my...

Thank you Insert. I find the weekly IP a good inspiration. We are fascinated and frightened by the idea that aliens might invade and destroy Earth but are we just talking about ourselves?

I really enjoyed reading this
Posted on Wed, 26 Sep 2018
I really enjoyed reading this, it brought to life a typical suprmarket shift complete with misery and the type of characters which seem to crop up in most workplaces. It recall my own stint in 'provisions', I got a verbal warning for failing to...

Mmm, I have some similar tales about rich people getting around the rules. It's so unfair. I honestly don't know why is plebs put up with it. It would be interesting to know our Cloud carbon footprints as it were; maybe that will be possible soon...

Robots and eye watering
Posted on Tue, 18 Aug 2026
Robots and eye watering profits are more important than the air we breathe and politics has become a glamorous career with lucrative, post government hustles and a buffet of grifts.

Posted on Thu, 09 Jul 2026
I agree regarding the final stanza it's punchy and poetic. Some people can turn so quickly, one way or another and catagorise everybody according to one experience. Surely one day soon, there will be no more catagories. I always forget that my...

Posted on Wed, 24 Jun 2026
Ha ha. Serves them right. One way or another these employers usually, not always, come unstuck. As you probably know, many of the largest companies are shedding half of their employees right now to free up money to invest in AI. I'n no expert on...
