Carried a tv to a customer’s car while we were short staffed and busy. Had a pleasant chat while we walked and I loaded her car. The customer was so grateful she left some feedback. This is how she described me β€œthe overweight scruffy fat slob … lazy *****”. β€œCustomer service is dead” she said. Odd.

A coastal scene showing a concrete pier with a small blue wooden shelter at the end. A yellow construction vehicle and crane are parked on the pier near a rusting, derelict ship. Large rocks and sand dominate the foreground, and the tide is out, revealing a wide expanse of wet sand and shallow water. In the distance, land is visible across the water under a blue sky with light clouds.

A person carrying a bodyboard walks across a concrete jetty at the sandy beach at Llanfairfechan, Wales, with shallow tidal pools visible on the shore. In the background, rolling hills and cliffs frame the coastal village, with houses nestled at the base of the lush green slopes. The calm sea stretches out toward Llandudno on the horizon.

A sunny autumn afternoon in Llandudno. This time last week I was curled up under a heated blanket watching snow fall

Second this. I had the same issue when I signed up with NFL and wrestling, it took a couple of days to sort out but I no longer see any in my feed. It also seemed to help to like posts on other subjects and follow people

Tranquil scene on Lake Windermere with several sailboats and small yachts anchored on calm, misty water. The sky is overcast, blending softly with the distant tree lined shoreline, creating a peaceful and muted atmosphere. Red buoys are scattered around the boats, adding a subtle contrast to the pale tones of the lake and sky.

The boathouse photo is the last in a group of four I posted a few days ago. Below is a photo from Kirkstone Pass not long before the clouds cleared, my timing wasn’t great that day!

Fantastic photo! I was driving alongside Ullswater at this moment in time, hoping it would last until I got to the boathouse at the east end of the lake. It didn’t. I like the moody black and white ended up with though so all good.

Yeah, it’s just an odd thing I noticed the other day. I’ve moved to bigger and busier locations each time so I’m happy, gives me more to do with more support and faster learning

A moody day in the Lake District, starting at Coniston and ending at Ullswater. Driving back to the hotel after dark on narrow winding roads was, erm, interesting

That’s exactly what I’ve done. Stopped using Twitter a while back. Started on threads a few months ago and was enjoying getting back into social media but was not too comfortable with a Zuckerberg network. Started seeing more mentions of Bluesky this week and signed up.

Got promoted to a management position and I was put in a location where I had no boss. Good results followed and I was moved to a bigger location where I then had one boss. Performed well and again I’m moving to a bigger location. Now I have two bosses. Moving forwards & backwards at the same time!

Testing to see if Bluesky crops portrait photos like Instagram does. This is Sizergh Castle, on the edge of the Lake District, UK
