littleappletree answered your question: BUT FIRST: a question
I don’t have an iPod but I found this: forums.macrumors.com/sh… At the bottom may be the answer. Perhaps it helps.
Ah, fantastic! That looks like it might be what I was after! Thank you! I also now know what kind of terms I’d be using to Google this stuff in future, so that’s doubly helpful

BUT FIRST: a question
Is it possible to set things up so that your iPod plays all sound into one earbud? Because my iPod only plays music out of the left earbud on any set of headphones, and it’s frustrating because so many things rely on… IDK, I guess it’s surround sound
Anyway, is that possible, and if it is, how is it???
Oh yus
I am going to Cambridge for a few days! I might end up on the Internet at some point anyways because my friend has to go to lectures, but if not
GOODBYE FOR NOW

Aww yeah time to watch ‘Edge of Destruction’
I’ve seen it before but all I can remember is that Susan goes haywire and violently stabs a chair with some scissors
So it’ll be good to get some context for that again
I sure am glad that my parent is medically qualified to diagnose all of my problems
And also that she can give conflicting diagnoses, such as saying “depressed people always have trouble sleeping!” for years and then saying that “depressed people have trouble getting up!”, depending upon which of these things is not happening to me at the time
Yep
It’s super great

Today parent complained about how a lesbian some decades ago said that she couldn’t know if she were actually heterosexual because she’d never tried homosexual sex
And, obviously, that’s a legitimate complaint, sexual orientation doesn’t work that way, at all, and it’s stupid and offensive to suggest otherwise
But it makes me wonder why it was fine to tell me that...

A version of...
WAIT!!!
There are election posters up and one of them is for Sinn Fein!
I’m in Ireland and I am also a super sleuth
I think I’m in Wales, or maybe somewhere in rural England
I found a sign in English, but also a road sign that points to somewhere with quite a complicated name that looks, in the blurred and pixellated text, to be ‘carrickmacross’
And also the sign points to ‘Shercock’, I think, I’m 10 miles away from there
Okay I am playing Mapcrunch! I wanted to play when I got home yesterday but I just fell asleep, tragically
I believe I am in Europe somewhere, possibly France or Belgium, possibly the UK but it’s kind of sunny so maybe not
I’m also in the countryside so this might take some time

After being up ‘til 3am because the Internet wasn’t working, which is the most stressful thing ever while you’re trying to apply to a job online, the application is now submitted!
Now I must wait, and prepare myself for the inevitable teary-eyed plea to skip the interview stage altogether and be hired as permanent BBC staff
I only hope other organisations are not too...

THANK YOU FOR ALL Y’ALL INPUT ON WHAT THEM PEOPLE’S CALLED! In the end I did go for “contacts”, so many thanks! I appreciate it doubly because I phrased that whole thing so badly
I’m just panicking a little bit right now
The question I just got to wants me to “create an opinion piece” about smartphones, and… I… do not know… how

Genuine question now:
I am trying to say that I am cool to email / phone experts or whoever, just people external to whatever department might theoretically employ me, speakers or business owners and suchlike, but I can’t think what those people are called
“Guests” doesn’t seem right
“Members of the public” doesn’t either
Does anyone have a better...

Hey does someone want to come and answer all of these questions for me, y/n???
Oh man IDK
I don’t know how to answer real questions for a real job
Why am I qualified for this job?
What have I done with my life?
Can I define my personal worth in 300 words or less????
I really wish I hadn’t left all the hardest questions until last

All Pigeons are Champs
crocoducks:
Pigeons get a bad rap. “Dirty,” “flying ashtrays,” and “sky rats” are just a few common slurs hurled at pigeons while they’re trying to do their pigeon thing. Check out the pigeon champs linked above, and let’s get some facts straight about these underappreciated bird stars.

what a tale. also I am uncertain whether you are doing a Google dodge or if that’s just what you call them in £-land, a notion I may hold just because it amuses me.
No, it is TRUE, that is what these stores are called in the U of K!
But it still shows up as “TJX” on my bank statement, so one...
I also had two separate customers who were unnecessarily grumpy and accusatory. It is always middle-aged men, who are getting what they want, but for some reason are deeply affronted by store policy / the words I say to them / I don’t know something
I can’t even be bothered to explain what they did because it happens so much
They just tut or sigh or shake their head or frown at me...
Today at work a woman came in and said she wanted to return a scarf because it had some slight snags in the fabric, which is cool, that happens a lot in the store because things often end up there after being reduced or found not quite perfect
But then she said: ”I’m very disappointed, actually. I hadn’t thought TK Maxx did seconds. I’m extremely disappointed.”

COMMUNICATION. PEOPLE SKILLS. ENTHUSIASM. PROBLEM SOLVING.
Yeah but it’s the words that have to go BETWEEN those words that are giving me the trouble
Though if I could just throw random words at the application like students do on their campaign leaflets, I’d put:
COMMUNICATION!
FUN!

Man I do not know how to spin the fact that I work at a customer services’ desk
My responsibilities include not sliding into misanthropy during opening hours and getting bored out of my mind
I can do those things pretty well

I will learn to stop telling my parent anything about anything that isn’t mundane and trivial
Until that day, I must reap the rewards of my own idiocy

I had this dream last night where my parent was beating me up
As part of the dream, I woke up from that dream to discover wounds and scars, but no blood because I was actually a robot
In the dream I just kind of went “oh hm” and didn’t give it any thought, but actually, it’s a Very Deep And Meaningful Dream
The kind you’d see in a film, that’s rife with...

Today I went to see ‘Woman In Black’ at the cinema near my uni with some peoples! I was incredibly brave about the whole thing because such is my temperament (and I saw the stage production a few years ago so). I kept my cool the entire time, solemnly and knowingly assessed the content of the film, you know the drill. I was calm and collected.
Here are things I learned!

I was imagining you just tearing sheets of paper off a pad of yellow paper and eating it and was like “yeah, of course that’s a lot of yellow paper”
The more I think about this idea the funnier it becomes

I read that as “yellow paper” and had to re-read it three times before realizing you wrote pepper and not paper. It was giving me a very strange mental image for a moment there.
Ah, well I just did the reverse misreading and thought you were puzzling over my eating a “yellow pepper”, so I...
I’m eating a whole yellow pepper, but it’s turning out to be a lot of yellow pepper
Really quite a lot
The whole world tastes like a yellow pepper right now
