If someone is described as "good at something", in your opinion how good is that person at this activity?
- Worked for their local team, and was quite happy to challenge/push back on unreasonable top-down asks.
- Quite happy to admit they didn't know stuff and asked for advice and ideas - and, of course, credited the appropriate team members for things that worked, but took responsibility themselves if things didn't go well.
- Displayed authentic emotions and enthusiasm for the work, rather that present a bland corporate mask.
The 1983 UK general election.
However, since I lived in a Tory safe seat (taking boundary changes into account, the last time that location had been anything except tory was a Whig in the C19th) I spoiled my ballot - writing some pithy comment across it about how meaningless the process was. That showed them!
Checking now, I see that it has continued as a Tory safe seat up to the present day.
You must take a long road trip with Donald Trump and no one else in the car. Security is everywhere; no one is in danger. You drive and control the radio, but can only play music. What's the playlist?
I work for a national charity in the UK. The organisation's policies have been dragged into the culture wars, but have not succumbed so far.
My role isn't directly involved with that side of things though. When planning, I am considering things like potential future supply chain issues, security of/access to services, potential threats, likely changes in resource use, likely changes to legislation and so on, all of which can be affected by national and international politics but, day-to-day, politics doesn't have a great effect beyond those.
During WWII, my dad was posted to guard a munitions factory in Worcester. Mum worked in that factory. Evidently dad was initially interested in one of mum's friends, but they hit it off shortly afterwards.
After they married, dad brought her back to a smallholding in rural East Anglia, where he lived with his parents and three siblings. They apparently thought that mum's Worcester accent was Welsh.
Right handed. My wallet is in my left pocket, since anything that I need to do with it will involve holding it with my left and doing the thing with my right.
Both my phones (home and work) are in my right, since I can carry out basic functions on them one handed.
