No such thing as overtime in academia…

Absolutely.
All day, so I get lunch & dinner when I do an 1145 - 2015. And if we (myself and the team) leave early because everything’s done I still get paid until 2015 so that’s an added bonus.

Jeez that’s not good.
I at least can sign up for whatever work I want to do, in any of our command centres whenever I want, and handily it’s 24/7 (though you’ll never catch me doing nights voluntarily) and extra extra money on Sundays.
Though recently I’ve been doing it to top up my annual leave (in lieu of payment).

We can build flexi in the week, and Saturday overtime double pay. Office doesn’t work Sundays.
I hope it goes back to what it was time ago, as it was a sweet spot.

I have been at a fish and chips shop and noticed that many people are not aware of this when using Apple Wallet
I saw them scroll through to find the wallet app.
They can also just tap phone on the POS when ready and the cards will be popped up ready for them to confirm.
Pretty sure it explains it first when adding a card 
Is it with every card? My mind may be ignoring that detail it seems. I can’t recall when I last saw it.
Only first setup of wallet.
That explains it.
It took my wife ages to start even using wallet. Her phone going out of battery when we were doing journeys on the TFL made me show off with my phone paying with no battery too.
She finally gave in to my persuasion to use wallet

Only times I ever really take a wallet now is on a night out for the just in case (but never happens) moments ie lose my phone.
Or just a card from it when my previous barber card machine was very “intermittent” so I’d just pay cash.
Went out for tea last night and did take my Revolut black metal and put it on the table ready to pay.
Also signalling I am the dominant one (man always pays). /s

Am I missing something here.
I have a running split with OH.
He paid off an amount for something he owed, but I’m not sure it deducted from the split or mark it as paid, and there’s nowhere except from my side to say that it’s been paid.
When I did that, the amount still shown as an outstanding figure in the list?
I cancelled them all and closed the split, but just wanna be sure I’m not lost with it, unless it’s only able to pay the full settlement not part?
Is this meant for another thread?
I tried to use the running split thread but it’s closed due to inactivity so not sure where else?

The latest thread is here.
I always find the 6-month-inactivity closure a hit and miss on here. Sometimes you have threads that are years old getting resurrected and some just auto close not even reaching its inactivity period.

I’ve been playing Solitaire from Apple Arcade for 776 consecutive days.
For the first time ever I’ve got the same score on two consecutive games on the same day.
Any other unlikely coincidences out there?
Actually, I’ve just remembered another one.
On my honeymoon (decades ago) on a Greek Island I bumped into an old girlfriend. Awkward.
I once was talking about an ex-partner from back home in the Lake District, to a (then) current partner, and we bumped into them in Leicester Square as we were discussing them.
Thankfully all positive. But they heard their name being said.

How does solitaire actually work? I’ve tried it on Windows… XP? Or Vista.
But I didn’t understand it then and I still don’t now
Wow … and I thought my 498 day streak was good!

It’s one of those games that’s easy to show, difficult to explain.
So
Out there will be YouTube videos, I’m sure.
In the UK we used to call it Patience.
