How'd you make the spaghetti not fall through the holes on the grill?

The British monarchy and nobility is one of the last vestiges of civility and refinement left on planet Earth. Without it there would be nothing left except the great unwashed and the tyranny of the uncouth masses.The concept of a monarchy as a figurehead isn't a terrible thing. But the British monarchy is so...stale. I read an article where the Queen chastised William for kneeling down to eye level with his son while standing on a balcony, because then the crowd couldn't see him. What the F? That's a common parent thing to do, but no, we can't break etiquette or whatever. It all seems just so cold. Hey Queen, take the stick out yer keester.
At the rate the Queen is going, she'll be still be alive by then. Me personally, I don't care for the royal family, but would rather never see Charles as King.The British monarchy and nobility is one of the last vestiges of civility and refinement left on planet Earth.

Depends on the person I guess. I have pushed for stuff from new hires when I see they are adapting slower than usual without just cause (ie lazy). But if I genuinely see someone trying but not getting it, I will ask if they are familiar with whatever they have to do and might offer pointers.Being a new employee, you'd think vested employees would be a little more patient, when trying to obtain information from the newer employee.
Hmm, apparently not. Maybe it is just human nature to want everything now, now, now...

I sometimes wish she would. Then I splash cold water in my face.Under the Australian constitution, the English Monarch (and therefore the Australian one) is not just a figurehead. He/She can (and has) sacked the Government via their proxy the Governor General. Look up The Dismissal.
Consider the kerfuffle if the Queen had sacked an American (or Russian) President (or even a Scottish Prime Minister)...
Hope he makes a quick recovery. I’m still fortunate not to have had it. Hopefully I never do.For the first time in my life I have failed a test and am happy about it.
Son brought home Covid and tested positive.
So we tested ourselves and tested negative (i.e. failed).
Son is ok, taking paracetamol and resting (not really, he is online...)
The productivity of those who spend their work day on social media is pretty poor. They think they can multitask, but in reality they just do their jobs poorly.Before the internet and smartphones, I feel as if I accomplished so much more, and I wasn't as rushed.
Beginning to wonder, if humans wanting things digitally, electronically and media/social media access, it is really going to haunt us, in years to come...
Your son will get better. As per failing a test, I have failed plenty of tests (school and medical) and have managed to be alright.For the first time in my life I have failed a test and am happy about it.

Good to hear.He is coping quite well. The cough isn't quite so bad and he seems to be improving. I think the worst day was yesterday.
As for us, we had our fourth Covid shot a couple of weeks ago, so I think we got them just in time.
Sunday afternoon is the new Monday morning. Well has been for the last I don’t know how many years. But I don’t work every evening these days. Maybe 2-3. Used to be 5-6.What's on my mind? Am trying to make a conscious decision to not do work related things, outside work/working hours. A difficult task, since most of it is mental calculations and thinking of processes at work.
The struggle is real...

Just watched Apple's keynote and one thought kept entering my head: Does Apple use cattle prods to train keynote speakers to take the legs-apart power stance?
Great to hear from you @kazmac, and very well done on your achievements. You should be very proud of yourself.Still here. Hoping everyone is okay. About to schedule round two of an interview for a remote position at a law firm that is not library based. I am finishing up my ABA Paralegal certificate program, so I am looking to be employed again stat.
Once employed, I intend to finish my Bachelor's Degree because it's required (I did the Paralegal certificate first to gain employment faster.)
If things were different here at home, I'd opt for hybrid or completely in office work.
Mom is hanging in, it's been super rough, but we're good considering. I am grateful.
Sending everyone a big virtual hug and wishing you well.
Watched that Jubilee party for the Queen and noted that only Andre Bocelli sounded great, if not audible.
