Wouldn't an official redundancy have some sort of pay-out, or is that just after a fixed number of years?

Looks like the spam bots are recognising your success :P

In this case, not much. It was a new company only launched in July 2020. I highly doubt anyone will get anything other than paid up to date and that's that.

After being drunk most of January to the point it impacted my work and life negatively, I intend to significantly lessen my alcohol intake.

This concept of 'microdosing' is now on my radar.

Obviously, being clean from amphetamines and other such manufacturered illicit drugs for 11 years, I absolutely can NOT go there in any way. No matter how small.

I'm aware this can be done through natural (grown) substances, namely, magic mushrooms.

I've read a bit but I'd like to hear from a motherfucker who's done/does it.

Kowalski, talk to me. Motherfucka.

It's cool, bro. I appreciate your input. The drinking is in check. I like to have a few watching the UFC or boxing on a Saturday night and that moderation will remain. I got really carried away in January and I'm back on track now.

I've been interested in DMT/ayahuasca ever since I first heard about it around 7 years ago (4 years after I stopped using drugs myself).

I have an issue with taking DMT itself in its manufactured form as I feel it would jeopardize my drug abstinence, but I'd be all for taking the leaves.

I have no idea what I'm talking about, though. Do you take the ayahuasca leaf? Do you just eat it? Lick it? Smoke it?

How or where do you get it? I understand it's extremely rare and difficult to get.

That sounds awesome, I've never heard it explained like that. Personally, both methods sound appealing to me.

I ordered 30 mushroom capsules today. They're 100mg per capsule and are specific for microdosing. I'm all about convenience and being able to try this without having to grow anything myself is my kind of deal.

Really looking forward to having my third eye opened and all that shit.

Probably going to start with dosing after breakfast at about 8 am every three days.

Day 10 of the medical study I'm on.

Me and 3 others got sent home after testing positive for Covaids. Although I don't feel a damn thing. Kinda glad I didn't get the jabs because it seems like it's not affecting me in the slightest.

We're probably going to be allowed back to complete the last 5 days when we're cured of the plague.

Everything is just so random and unpredictable these days that I just roll with it. I'm not just talking about these trials, I mean with everything.

I have a few new freelance work contracts lined up too, with a couple of meetings this week to discuss potential partnerships.

What's the trial for?

Interesting. I wonder what sort of trial this is (medical?) if you're allowed to take a gap in the middle of it and then come back to complete the study.

My gf and I got Covid too (I'm guessing Omicron). For me at least it wasn't a big deal, felt like a moderate cough with a hangover. Secondary infection however lasted like 3 weeks of sore throat, which was arguably worse. What I am hoping for is to take an antibody test in the future to prove it, and thus waive the need to get vaccinated (which I didn't do, and now seems pointless given that I've had the illness).

I find it strange that the UK government is wanting loads of people to have booster shots post-infection; it's been shown that it doesn't give any real positive effect in such individuals.

They're testing a cancer drug that's already on the market (alpelisib). Specifically, they're comparing the absorption of it in granule form against pill form.

Should be getting up to 4.5k.

This trial is 3 x 5 nights. We were sent home yesterday but were due to leave this morning anyway.

We were/are due in again on Friday for the final 5 day period, which we need to test negative for first. If we don't test negative the study manager said they may be able to delay it.


I had a feverish feeling on Friday and my head felt quite bunged up. Friday night was an uncomfortable sleep. High temperature. But by 10 am on Saturday it was dissipating. I know now that must have been the peak of my Covaids. I got lucky that it was only a 24-hour hit.

Still glad I didn't take the injections now that I will be swimming in natural antibodies. Probably.
