OK, language weirdness question.
Someone recently said:
"I just about caught the train."
Did they catch it or not? Perhaps it depends whether you think of English as (one of) your first language(s).
As always, if you're happy to do so I'd be grateful if you'd boost for reach, and to get beyond my circle of followers.
Thank you!
@Wifiwits Lovely as that sounds, I have an egg yolk intolerance so that particular dish would spoil the rest of my day. But I can see plenty of other uses!

@trinsec I did. Half luck, half leap of faith ;)
I just had the worst #interview of my entire #career . It turned out to be an insightful list of precisely how NOT to attract talent. In that way, it was really useful to me as a candidate.
Presented for your amusement, here's a thread of what I asked. It's going to be a longboi, but here's my absolute favorite:
🚩 Do you have any queer peers? Is this a safe place for them to work? "We don't talk about that here."
Reposting this excellent Kookaburra from my old Mastodon account as that post has disappeared? And maybe you haven't seen him yet.
Heard him laughing and eventually spotted him sitting on top of the electricity pole.

@MooseAllain My other half has just finished this jigsaw that I bought her for Christmas. She's been off work after an operation, I don't think she moved from the table today from when I left to go to work and came back! It took a few days.
@andyh2o @MooseAllain that is a glorious thing!
I'm going to need to get a hearing aid for one-sided hearing loss sometime soon, any tips for using one hearing aid?
Like, how do you make your hearing feel balanced when one ear has a slight processing delay and amplification because of the hearing aid, and the other doesn't? Anything I should consider in picking one that might make this easier? 🙏

Sweary and opinionated. It's best not to take it personally. Also hilarious but that might be less obvious.
