This is very specific but I'm wondering if anyone knows the reasoning behind it. Or if you think it's reasonable.

My work (in the UK) allows time off for dental appointments but specifically states that it doesn't include dental implant appointments, these must be taken as holiday. It also states that laser eye surgery must be taken as holiday. I don't agree with either but I guess laser eye surgery is optional. I don't get the dental implant one though. I guess work would be happier if I got dentures 🤷‍♀️

Just sharing a little advice if anyone is feeling overwhelmed by people.

I wasnt feeling good for a few months, I was super busy and my head was constantly buzzing and people were constantly contacting me which was too much for me at that time.

For the last month I stopped replying to certain people and even took a step back from people I was seeing in person every day, cut back on being overly social at work.

I feel a huge weight lifted off my shoulders and I have worked out who to fade out of my life and who to cut back on how much I share with them. And who I want to be more friendly with.

I would advise anyone who needs it to take a few months just for themselves, stop texting, stop sharing your life with work colleagues, until you have a clear head again.

That counts as a hobby right?

I'm looking for suggestions for documentary or podcast subjects.

I love history and learning about different ways of life. For example I just watched one about a population in the Philippines who live on the water. My last podcast was the Salem which trials.

Thank you for any suggestions 😊

When I was in high school we were up on a high up field playing tennis. Everyone's hair became static, mine was the worst, the loose bits not in my ponytail were floating above my head. The teacher told us to leave the tennis court. Less than a minute later it was struck by lightening.

I also saw a tile fall off the roof of a 2-3 story building, missing someone by inches who was walking underneath.

I wonder if any of them mean anything or if close calls happen a billion times a day for no reason.
