somehow someone else has my phone number on their nhs file which means I’ve been getting all their communications for TWO YEARS. apparently they have a therapy appointment on monday so I sure hope they’ve got that written down somewhere since I’m the one getting texts about it
had a couple of missed calls from a random number and the voicemail was like “we’re calling for your wellbeing assessment appointment, since you’re not speaking to us today we’ll assume you no longer require the service and will discharge you” so now I’m doing someone else’s medical admin to make sure they don’t lose their therapy access 😭😭😭
Australia also tends to be in 12 hour time, I don't really see much in 24 here.
And also, we change season on the 1st Dec (although to summer). It really threw me when I learnt that other places change towards the end of Dec, when to me thats solidly a few weeks into the season
I think changing the seasons at the start of the month makes so much more sense! like realistically once you’re into december everyone considers it to be winter (or summer in your case)
canada uses a 12 hour clock too like the US, a 24 hour clock here is called military time
American military uses 24 hr clocks so maybe some military families might use it? Or military history nerds or something
ok valid I too would be less inclined to use something referred to as military time lol in my head it only counts as military time if it’s said like “fifteen hundred hours” not just for the 24h clock in general
I feel like I needed to divide the poll options into american and not american because now I’m just wondering were all the 12 hour votes americans or not
Hi I'm Irish and the August post is actually an Irish thing! August is autumn over here, we follow a different calendar to the rest of Europe. Fun fact this is why Halloween is the end of October, it's a festival that celebrates the change from autumn to winter, as our Winter begins in November. The first time I found out the UK had a different calendar to us I was 17 and it was quite a culture shock lol
oh wow I can’t believe I didn’t know this! that explains why the post felt like it should’ve been about september to me. it’s interesting that the calendars are different when climate wise we’re very similar, although I think having winter start in november actually makes a lot of sense, it always feels wrong how winter doesn’t technically start until late december here!
