LisaAmusing moment when I was visiting family down south last month:
Cousin: "So when <grown-child> was diagnosed with #autism we started looking into it more, and we think it might actually be quite common in the family."
Table of 30+ related folks: nods in sync
LisaBecause I'm curious: What's your preferred way to cross between platforms at a train station?
Particularly for disabled folk, bicyclists, and those who can't use the stairs (or would rather not).
Note that barrow crossings (crossing the tracks at rail level) are deliberately not included for safety reasons.

LisaThere's been some roadworks on the way back from work for the past couple of nights; on a stretch I usually go pretty fast along.
So I've actually had to slow down and watch my speed, as the limit through the roadworks is slower than my usual.
A fairly rare experience.

LisaSometimes at work there are orders that I can't process (for various reasons), so I write down how many boxes there are and send the paperwork up to the office for them to sort out.
I also write the last few digits of the order number, and the box count (1/1, 1/2, 2/2, etc) on the boxes for identification...
Today I had the great joy of writing on a box:
1111 1/1
This may be the highlight of my warehousing career.
LisaI've been paying for stuff with cash lately; people are so confused.
They have the card machine all ready to go and then I hand them a note, and it takes them a while to work out what to do with it.

LisaToday's work 'fun': Someone overloaded a pallet, didn't wrap it right, and then all 1.6 tonnes of it came off the forklift and went all over the dispatch yard.
LisaOh.
I have found white steel cap safety shoes. In a wide range of sizes.
They're going to get filthy, but I don't care, I want them. Swap the laces for some pink or purple ones and they'll be amazing.
LisaJust had to delete about a hundred photos like this from my phone, apparently it decided the inside of my handlebar bag needed its picture taken, a lot.
I blame the head wind.

LisaSo government issued photo ID doesn't include a gender marker anymore. That's kind of cool.
