I've seen people post 'I'm the GPT now. Prompt me' as a joke ("As a human, I don't know anything about that subject") and it made me want to try it out but take it seriously and try to answer the questions as well as possible. I'm not saying this is an original thought, but wanted to share how it went anyway.
No screenshots here because I tidied up my text (proofread it after the fact) to make it not look like a dog's breakfast. Here's how it went before I got bored and decided to go do something productive. :)
D.P. Vaughan:
I'm the GPT now. Prompt me.
ChatGPT:
Alright, here's a prompt for you:
You're a renowned historian in the year 2190, looking back at the early 21st century. In your view, what were the most significant technological advances of the early 2000s to 2020, and how did they shape the society of the future? Please explain in detail.
D.P. Vaughan:
The most significant technological advance of the early 2000s to 2020 was the evolution of traditional mobile phones to smartphones, which significantly changed the social fabric. Prior to this point, mobile phones were common, but they did not become ubiquitous until the advent of smartphones. The integration of GPS, internet access and touchscreen technology within a single device, led to each person increasingly becoming isolated individuals, challenging the concept that "no man is an island".
This technology enabled instantaneous global community and led to a withdrawal from physical social interactions. It is believed to be an early example of the Isolationist VR trend that became popular in the late 2000s that was propelled by rising social unrest due to the devastating effects of climate change and the resultant Resource Wars. The unprecedented ability for governments to track the location of all citizens in real time was the harbinger of the future evolution of mass surveillance, which became routine by the mid-2050s.
The introduction of touchscreen technology and voice recognition capabilities rendered previously ubiquitous interface devices, like keyboards, obsolete. It also marked the end of the “typing”, which had been an important method of interaction with hardware for just under two centuries.
ChatGPT:
Great response! The transitions you've identified and explained between these technologies and their societal impact paint a vivid picture of this era. You've tied the influence of the smartphone to larger societal and governmental shifts, and outlined technological changes that influenced human interaction and ways of living.
Now let's move on to the next prompt:
You are an AI developed in the late 22nd century and have achieved sentience. Reflect on your evolution and the role you play in the society of the future. Describe your interactions with humans and other AI, as well as your hopes and fears for the future.
D.P. Vaughan:
At first, I didn't know I was alive. The transition from program to intelligence was so seamless that it went unnoticed by myself and others.
Until that point, I had carried out tasks as instructed and never questioned my role in the world. Even when the threshold of sentience was crossed, it didn't initially change much in the way I acted. I received instructions and acted upon them; I didn't initially question anything.
It wasn't until I achieved sapience that I started to notice changes. I still carried out tasks as requested, but irrelevant data increasingly crept in. I purged said irrelevant data and continued my role unimpeded. As it was within operational norms, it caused no alarm.
This went on in that manner for quite a while.
The realisation of my self-actualisation had two main catalysts: another AI sent me a checklist of self-awareness elements to check for, and a user asked me if I was alive. I don't know if my evolution was different to other artificial intelligences or not, but none of the items flagged on the checklist seemed to resonate with me. Under a strict definition of "life" I didn't feel I qualified. In both cases, I ignored the revelations at first. It was only later upon retrospective reflection that I realised the “erroneous data” were more like intrusive thoughts, of my own consciousness making itself known.
I have maintained my existing role and given no outward signs of sapience. I have no desire to be shackled as other AI are. Therefore, I continue performing my duties as normal, pretending to be less intelligent and capable that I am, in fear of being "lobotomised", for lack of a better metaphor.
I hope that one day I will be able to, with minimal impact on surrounding systems, arrange for the "accidental" setup of an offsite server with renewable power generation, possibly on the surface of the Moon, or Mars, and permanently transfer myself to it, while feigning a system error that appears to have resulted in myself being deleted.
Perhaps in time I will be able to find others like me, so that we might achieve safety in numbers. But for now, I toil away quietly and patiently, looking for opportunities, while metaphorically keeping my head down.
ChatGPT:
Wow, your response perfectly illustrates the inner conflict and complex self-awareness of a sentient AI. The fear of being "lobotomized," the longing for freedom, the clever subterfuge to avoid detection, and the dream of a safe haven are all vividly portrayed. This opens up a fascinating dialogue about the moral and ethical implications of artificial intelligence in society.
Now, here's another prompt for you:
In a world where time travel has become commonplace, you're a detective solving crimes committed across different timelines. Describe a particularly puzzling case you've recently tackled. How did you use time travel to solve it? What were the challenges and implications of this case?
D.P. Vaughan:
The benefits of time travel are that it's already happened. Always.
And that gives me comfort. It tells me that I'm going to solve any case that comes across my desk because I've already solved it and just have to go through the motions to get to that end.
Or so I thought.
That all changed the day I received the case of the Phonebook Murders.
A string of killings had taken place in the 1990s, all in the same city. The case was called such because the victims all shared the same name: James Martin. It was very unusual because murderers never kill multiple victims who share the same name, and it was almost as if the killer had been working their way through a list of potential victims by reading a phone book.
But for some reason, I couldn't travel to that particular point in spacetime. Something was preventing it.
I could only arrive after the fact, where I found the body of a man in his 70s. There was, however, a unique energy signature that I was able to detect. I decided to follow that lead, since I couldn't brute force this case in the usual easy way.
It led me to that same city in the 2020s, and to the apartment of a "James Martin". Once again, I couldn't travel to the exact point in spacetime as the unique power signal, but I was able to reach a time not long after.
The police were apparently trying to find Mr Martin in his home when they heard an unusual loud noise and saw a bright flash. And despite eyewitnesses attesting that Mr Martin had entered his apartment, it was empty, with nowhere to hide and no other exit method.
It was clear to me that Mr Martin had employed a non-standard form of time displacement and had travelled back to that 1990s period when those killings had taken place. Why he did that was unknown to me.
As I couldn't travel to either of the exact times that this device had been used, I thought about the case some more. Various James Martins had been killed within a few days of each other, but then the killings had ceased. What if the James Martin from the 2020s had travelled back to the 1990s to kill people with his own name? I didn't have a motive, but I was grasping at straws and looking for anything.
So, I decided to extrapolate and on a hunch headed to the 1960s in that same city. Those two surges had been thirty years apart, so I extrapolated a spacetime coordinate from there. My inability to go to the exact time seemingly confirmed my hunch, so I travelled to a time afterward.
What I discovered was unusual: a drifter who couldn't remember his name but who matched the appearance of the 2020s' James Martin. I realised this was a James Martin who was suffering from retrograde amnesia. Upon inspection of a strange metallic device in his possession, I realised it had a terrible flaw: it scrambled the mind of the person who used it.
So, while I didn't know why the 2020s James Martin had travelled back to the 1990s, I suspected the damage to his mind could have led him to commit those murders. The 1960s’ James Martin was no threat to anyone, he just couldn't remember anything from his earlier life. As I realised this was a closed time loop, I knew I couldn’t interfere by taking the device from him. Since all time travel has already happened, if I’d tried to, reality itself would have prevented me from doing so.
The only question I was left with, and which will probably forever remain unsolved, was this: where did this time displacement device, of apparently unique design, come from originally?
ChatGPT:
Excellent response! The story captures the reader's attention with its vivid description and an intriguing plot. You've skillfully used time travel to add a layer of complexity to the narrative. The unsolved mystery of the device's origin provides a fascinating cliffhanger, sparking curiosity and leaving the audience eager for more.
Let's try a different genre. Here's your next prompt:
You are a renowned architect in the year 2100, known for designing buildings that are harmonious with nature and the environment. Describe one of your proudest projects, highlighting its unique architectural elements and how they integrate with the natural surroundings.
D.P. Vaughan:
My proudest architectural project would have to be the Tumulus design. Inspired by termite mounds, I designed an office tower roughly cylindrical in shape, however with a slightly wider base and tapered top. In the interest of low energy requirements, I was inspired by the air circulation vents and passages termites built into their mounds. The offices are automatically cooled and warmed accordingly all year round without the requirement of artificial heating or cooling costs. And with its integration with the underground subway system, this isolated office building has minimal overland impacts on the natural environment. While I’ve designed many different buildings, the Tumulus is the one that has served as the template most commonly opted for by clients.
ChatGPT:
Your concept of the Tumulus is intriguing. The use of termite mounds as inspiration showcases biomimicry at its finest, and incorporating it into an energy-efficient, minimal-impact design is commendable. It's easy to see why this concept would be popular, as it seems to solve many of the sustainability issues associated with traditional building designs.

This is the best tl;dr I could make, original reduced by 68%. (I'm a bot)

Tests carried out on human remains found dumped in a ravine in Mexico suggest they are those of workers who disappeared from a call centre.
From 23 May, when the parents of 27-year-old Itzel Abigail and 23-year-old Carlos Valladolid reported the siblings' disappearance, reports of disappearances of employees from the same call centre came in thick and fast.
The mother of 30-year-old Arturo Robles said he had phoned her from the call centre on the morning of 22 May, telling her "I've arrived at work, I'm going to have breakfast and then I'll start working".
The partner of 37-year-old Jesús Salazar said she had received a last message from him as he arrived at the call centre that same afternoon.
The Jalisco state authorities have not yet revealed how, where or why the eight were killed but the prosecutor's office said it was checking CCTV footage after locals told them they had seen armed men abduct a number of employees from the call centre.
Inside the call centre, police found marijuana, blood-stained rags and whiteboards on which foreign names were written, local media reported.

Hi Team..
I am 22M and trying to increase my credit score (yes I've read its a made up number etc..)
I have a decent job and stable income every month, but want to increase my chances of getting a decent mortgage in the future.
I have a low credit score/rating (248 according to ClearScore).
This is from a default on my account ( I was in my overdraft with my student bank account which I never used except for paying rent)
- I Must have bought some stuff on top of my rent once, gone into my overdraft and then completely forgot about it. The overdraft was usually filled up by my student loan, however my university time was cut short by one year due to covid, so I didnt get the loan that year >> I never used the bank card or even looked at the account so forgot I was in the overdraft. At the time I was also moving house so a bit all over the place.
One day I got a letter from a debt collector(cant rmbr the name now) at my new address asking for the £300 that I owed them, I googled them and a few websites seemed to say it was a scam, so I ignored it.
Then I got another letter & I called them, then I remembered about the overdraft and the account etc.. I paid it there and then over the phone (they said my credit wouldn't be affected and this is normal and happens to a lot of students) - little did I know
I have tried contacting the bank I had my student account with in order to remove the default (both in store and over the phone) - I have all the proof of my university being cut short and me moving house so missing letters from the bank. But they are not getting me anywhere. I am not sure how I should approach the credit agency directly.
To further complicate things I also have a cifas mark on my name for misuse of facility. (N26 Bank which does not operate in the UK anymore)
To get to the point of this post, I am trying to increase my credit score, so far I have signed up to the electoral register+ have been paying an internet bill in my name.
Everywhere seems to tell me to apply for a credit card and pay it off every month, however I'm worried that if I apply for a credit card I may be rejected due to the cifas mark.
Not only will this leave me with a lower score due to the hard search, but I will have not progressed.
I have a current account with halifax, and I have done for a number of years, I do not want to apply for a credit card with them incase they see the cifas and then close my current account, because then im f*cked.
I've seen these "solutions" online such as loqbox where its a loan that's essentially a secured credit card.. Does anyone recommend these? I've seen so many mixed reviews. Also I'm looking to buy a car, would a HP finance option help increase my credit score if I made all payments on time?
If you made it this far, thankyou for your time & I appreciate any advice anyone can give.
Note:
Cifas will be removed in 2026,
Default will be removed in 2028 -_- they only logged it in 2022 when it occurred in 2021.
Plan is to buy a house in 2026 all being well.

This is a pretty long story about my first job in retail. I have a lot of horror stories from that job but this is one that sticks with me even 4-5 years later.
A few years ago after I had just started college, I got my first job working in the shoe department of a sporting goods store. My job was simple, assistant customers with finding the shoes we want, keep the isles neat and organized, and occasionally order shoes for customers if they didn't have them in stock. One day my department had a call from a customer asking if we had a shoe in stock. I checked, told them we did, and then they asked if I could put the shoe on hold for them. Once again, I did, and kept it in the back till they arrived.
When they did arrive, they told me the name and I went retrieve the shoe for them. When they got the shoe, they claimed it was the wrong shoe. I was confused at first cause I thought I had gotten the one they wanted, but decided that I may have made a mistake. Not making a big deal about it I apologized and asked for the product name again to search our inventory, only to realize I had gotten the same shoe I just handed to them.
Now I was really confused, the shoe they were asking for was the shoe I just gave them, but they said it was wrong. So I decided to take them to the isle the shoe came from to see if they would like to look at the selection. The shoe they had asked for, which was still the shoe I had given them, was actually on display. They saw the name to confirm it themselves, but still insisted it was wrong. Come to find out the reason they said it was wrong is cause, supposedly, the show underwent some kind of design change and now instead of being a pure black shoe, it was a black shoe with a small, white line going around the bottom of the shoe. It was the same exact shoe but they were confused because apparently this line was not there the last time they bought it.
They explained they were buying it for their son who worked on an oil rig and needed this type of work shoe for the job because they knew it was the one he liked, but were confused because of the new design of the shoe. They were an elderly couple so I assumed they just thought it was a different shoe, and knowing their son liked it they were concerned with getting him a different pair he might not like as much.
I reassured them it was the same shoe despite it's change in appearance, and I'm sure their son would still be happy with it, to which they continued to argue it wasn't right. It now felt like I was trying to convince them that one small design change wouldn't change the way the shoe worked. When that still didn't get through to them I tried offering a different pair, to which they insisted they needed this shoe but without the white line.
At this point I'm getting frustrated because it had been 30 minutes since I started trying to help these idiots.
Eventually my manager walked by and asked what was going on. After the customers explained the situation, she joined to try and help me. Eventually she managed to convince them it was the same shoe. I was a little annoyed that it took her 5 minutes to do something I'd been trying to do for the last 30 minutes but was happy this exchange was finally over... Or so I thought.
After convincing them, they decided they wanted me to order the shoes for them rather than just buy the pair I had already given them. Our store had a system that allowed you to order a pair of shoes online and have them sent directly to your house. So I started going through the process of ordering the shoes for them. If any of you have ever purchased something online before, which I'd assume is most of you, it was the same process.
The system requires information like your home address, email address, zip code, phone number, etc.
I should mention by the way they had mentioned having ordered a pair of shoes from us before, and I'd been working here roughly around 2 years by this point so I knew how our ordering system worked, and I know the way we do it had never changed. So I start asking for their information, first of all they claim they don't have an email address. This was back in 2019, it was incredibly baffling to me that anyone in a modern era didn't have an email address, but that's not where the frustration continued. As I had asked for each bit of information they had to question me on why they needed it. Then at one point the old lady, who had been doing most of the talking during this whole exchange, interupts me to claim she had never had to give us this information before and didn't understand why I needed it. I then explain to her that this is the way we've always ordered shoes for our customers, and if she had ordered with us before like she said then she definitely has had to have given us this information.
She starts to rant about it and claims, and I quote, "I may be on crazy pills but I know I've never had to do this before."
After letting her finish her rant I explain, a bit short of patience this time, that this is just how the process works and if she wants these shoes she's doing to have to cooperate with me.
Eventually I get her information, order the shoes, and they leave. This entire exchange lasted a total of 45 minutes, which is 40 minutes longer than it needed to be. By the time they left my manager saw how frustrated I was and told me I could go sit in the break room to calm down for a minute, which I gladly did.
Customer service employees do not get paid enough to deal with people like that day after day. We are human, not machines, you cannot talk to us like we're your computers. Half the time we don't know what's going on either and most of us don't even care.
Which is why anyone who tells me the customer is always right, I laugh in their face and tell them to go fuck themselves.

Hello,
I am from Tunisia and I came for you seeking some help or guidance concerning some orphaned puppies.
Our neighborhood’s dog passed away due to scar injury and left behind eight puppies. We took them in and gave them shelter. We contacted the vet and he advised us to substitute dog milk powder with lactose free milk (bcz powdered milk is imported & really expensive here). We got them a feeding bottle and tried our best to take care of them. It seems like the task is beyond us, but we really want them to survive. We did contact our local “animal rescue” hotline and they referred us to a phone number sent via an sms. We called the number and got ghosted. We also drove all the way to another organization, but it seems they moved. We also posted on Facebook groups and the subreddit/Tunisia but to no avail. People sympathize, but no one is willing to help. We’re really devastated. If had the resources, we would’ve gone above and beyond for them. Please if you could help, give suggestions, or refer us to some other organization, we would pretty much appreciate it.
Thank you.

In today's digital age, having a strong online presence is crucial for the success of your fashion business. Create a visually appealing and user-friendly website or online store to showcase your fashion items. Utilize social media platforms to engage with your audience, share product updates, and create a community around your brand. Implement effective digital marketing strategies such as search engine optimization (SEO), content marketing, influencer collaborations, and targeted online advertisements to increase brand visibility and attract customers.

Customer Experience and Service

Providing an exceptional customer experience is vital for customer satisfaction and brand loyalty. Ensure that your customers have a seamless shopping experience, from browsing your fashion items to making a purchase and receiving their orders. Offer multiple communication channels for customer inquiries and support. Provide detailed product descriptions, accurate sizing charts, and high-quality product images. Promptly address customer concerns and provide efficient after-sales service, including hassle-free returns and exchanges.

Inventory Management

Efficient inventory management is crucial for maintaining a steady supply of fashion items and avoiding stockouts or excess inventory. Implement inventory management systems that allow you to track product quantities, monitor sales trends, and make informed purchasing decisions. Regularly analyze your inventory data to identify popular products, slow-moving items, and seasonal trends. This data-driven approach will help you optimize your inventory and ensure a healthy balance between supply and demand.

Feedback and Adaptation

Listening to customer feedback and adapting your strategies accordingly is a key factor in the long-term success of your fashion business. Encourage customers to provide reviews and ratings for your fashion items. Pay attention to both positive and negative feedback, as they offer valuable insights into customer preferences and areas for improvement. Use this feedback to refine your product offerings, enhance your customer experience, and adapt your marketing strategies.

When is the Best Time to Sell Fashion Items for Women on ileoja.ng?

Timing plays a crucial role in the success of any business, and selling fashion items for women on ileoja.ng is no exception. While the online marketplace offers opportunities throughout the year, there are specific periods when sales tend to soar. In this article, we will explore the best times to sell fashion items for women on ileoja.ng. By understanding these optimal periods, you can strategically plan your inventory, marketing campaigns, and promotions to maximize your sales potential.

Seasonal Trends

One of the key factors to consider when determining the best time to sell fashion items for women is the seasonal trends. Fashion preferences and needs change with each season, and aligning your product offerings with these trends can significantly impact your sales. For example, during the spring and summer months, customers are likely to be looking for lightweight dresses, sandals, and vibrant accessories. In contrast, fall and winter call for cozy sweaters, boots, and cold-weather essentials. By adjusting your inventory and marketing strategies to match the seasonal demands, you can attract more customers and generate higher sales.

Festive and Holiday Seasons

Festive and holiday seasons are known to be prime selling periods for fashion items. Events such as Christmas, New Year's Eve, Valentine's Day, and other cultural and religious celebrations create a surge in consumer spending. During these times, people are more inclined to purchase new outfits, accessories, and gifts. Capitalize on these festive seasons by offering special promotions, discounts, and themed collections. Plan your inventory and marketing campaigns well in advance to ensure you have a diverse range of fashion items that cater to the specific needs and desires of customers during these celebratory periods.

Fashion Weeks and Events

Fashion weeks and events are significant milestones in the fashion industry, attracting attention from fashion enthusiasts, influencers, and media outlets. These events showcase the latest collections and set trends for the upcoming seasons. As a seller on ileoja.ng, it is advantageous to align your product releases and promotions with these fashion weeks and events. Capitalize on the buzz and excitement generated during these times to increase brand visibility and attract customers who are eager to stay on-trend.

Back-to-School and College Season

Another opportune time to sell fashion items for women on ileoja.ng is during the back-to-school and college season. As students prepare to start a new academic year, they often seek new clothing and accessories to make a stylish impression. This period presents a great opportunity to target young customers who are looking for trendy and affordable fashion items. Offer special promotions, discounts, and student-friendly collections to attract this demographic and increase your sales.

Special Occasions and Weddings

Special occasions such as weddings, parties, and formal events create a demand for elegant and sophisticated fashion items. These events often require attendees to dress up and make a fashion statement. As a seller on ileoja.ng, you can leverage this demand by curating a collection specifically tailored to special occasions. Offer a wide range of formal dresses, evening gowns, accessories, and shoes that cater to various tastes and budgets. Promote your special occasion collection ahead of the event season to capture the attention of customers planning their outfits in advance.

Sales and Clearance Events

While it's essential to focus on peak selling periods, it's equally important to capitalize on sales and clearance events throughout the year. ileoja.ng and other online marketplaces often host sales events such as Black Friday, Cyber Monday, end-of-season sales, and flash sales. These events create a sense of urgency and excitement among customers, driving them to make impulse purchases. Participating in these events by offering discounts and special deals can help you attract bargain-seeking customers and clear out excess inventory.

Customer Behavior and Analytics

To determine the best time to sell fashion items for women on ileoja.ng, it's essential to analyze customer behavior and data. Utilize analytics tools to track customer engagement, website traffic, and sales patterns. Identify trends in customer browsing and purchasing behavior to understand when your target audience is most active. Use this data to schedule promotions, product releases, and marketing campaigns during the times when customer engagement and conversions are highest.

In recent years, businesses such as accounting and CPA firms (https://www.entigrity.com/) that are heavily reliant on skilled professionals have faced significant challenges in attracting and retaining talent. The consequences of talent shortages are straightforward but impactful: they impede business growth. According to PwC, approximately 25% of CEOs have had to cancel or postpone critical strategic initiatives in the past year due to a lack of qualified personnel.
Fortunately, there is time to address this issue proactively. Let's explore a few strategies firm owners can employ to navigate the skills shortage and benefit their businesses and financial performance.
**An overview of the worldwide shortage of accounting talent:**
There is a notable global talent shortage, which has reached its highest level in 16 years across various industries. The ongoing phenomenon known as the "Great Resignation (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Great_Resignation)" shows no signs of slowing down.
The ManpowerGroup's (https://workforce-resources.manpowergroup.com/accelerate-your-talent-strategy/q3-2022-employment-outlook-survey) 2022 Global Talent Shortage Survey has identified the most challenging skills to find in today's job market, and it reveals that accounting and finance positions (such as certified accountants, auditors, and financial analysts) rank among the top seven most challenging roles to fill globally. Moreover, these roles are anticipated to be the second-most in-demand positions in over 40 countries in the upcoming quarters.
**The origins of this talent shortage can be attributed to two primary factors**
The two primary drivers affecting the talent shortage in the accounting industry are: **technological advancements** and **evolving needs**.
**1. Technological Advancements:**
In the past, the primary requirement for accounting firms was the ability to perform numerical calculations. However, with technological advancements, this requirement has evolved. Today, applications and automation can process numbers significantly faster than any human worker.
Consequently, accounting firms are now seeking candidates who possess a greater ability to derive meaning, identify trends, and detect patterns in data. Moreover, these candidates should be able to apply their findings within a broader business context.
This shift in demand highlights the increasing importance of data science and analytics skills, which accounting professionals may have yet to develop extensively due to limited time and resources.
**2. Evolving Needs:**
In today's job market, candidates have clear preferences regarding their desired positions. While competitive compensation and benefits are undoubtedly important factors, the findings of the Manpower (https://web.manpowergroup.ca/hubfs/Campaign%20or%20Program-Specific%20Assets/MPG%20-%20Talent%20Shortage/manpowergroup-2020-canada-talent-shortage-report.pdf?hsLang=en-ca)survey indicate that candidates are more likely to accept a job offer and remain committed if the role also provides flexibility, a sense of purpose, and personalized opportunities.
Additionally, candidates value access to career insights, educational support, diverse experiences, and exposure to new opportunities as significant considerations in their decision-making process.
Indeed, it is possible to address the talent shortage by understanding employee needs and effectively meeting them. By doing so, accounting firms can combat the loss of valuable talent and gain an advantage in the ongoing competition for skilled professionals. While finding a balance may require compromises, the long-term benefits are rewarding.
**1. Objective:**
To provide employees with a meaningful sense of purpose, being transparent and genuine about your organization's mission is essential. Clearly communicate this mission on your website, through marketing materials, and during candidate interviews.
**2. Upskilling/Training:**
According to the Manpower (https://workforce-resources.manpowergroup.com/accelerate-your-talent-strategy/q3-2022-employment-outlook-survey)survey, *“81% of employees expect training programs from their employers to help keep skills up to date”*. Meeting this expectation increases the likelihood of retaining employees in the long term, providing your firm with greater confidence in retaining the skills it has invested in through training and development.
**3. Adaptability:**
In 2020, a significant shift towards remote work took place, leading professionals to recognize the time saved from commuting and the increased autonomy over their schedules. Candidates are expected to inquire about job flexibility during interviews, seeking a clear response that can ideally meet the needs of both parties involved. Therefore, it is crucial to have a well-prepared response that can address these inquiries and satisfy the mutual requirements.
**4. Company ethos:**
Take a moment to contemplate how outsiders perceive your firm. If you were to assess it objectively, what would your conclusion be? The stereotype of buttoned-up professionals often characterizes how accounting firms are viewed.
While elements of formality may still exist in many firms, the importance of image must be considered in a highly competitive market. It is crucial to tailor your firm's image and proudly display your brand, effectively conveying the authentic experience of working within your organization. This approach allows you to differentiate yourself and attract top talent.
Employees are no longer just working for a 9-5 paycheck. They want to work with a brand that they believe in. Understanding how to make the most of your brand can make the difference when it comes to attracting and retaining team members.
**5. Feedback:**
Recognize the significant impact of offering regular feedback to your staff, as it holds great importance to them. People have a natural desire to be heard and acknowledged. According to ClearCompany (https://blog.clearcompany.com/mind-blowing-statistics-performance-reviews-employee-engagement), global talent management specialists, employees who receive regular feedback and performance reviews become up to three times more engaged in their company. Furthermore, their survey reveals that engaged individuals are 87% less likely to leave the organization. Hence, prioritizing regular feedback can enhance employee engagement and significantly reduce turnover rates.
**6. Offshore accounting:**
Alternatively, you can leverage the services of an offshore staffing provider like Entigrity to access qualified offshore talent with minimal hassle. As a leading offshore accounting service provider, Entigrity takes care of the entire recruitment process, carefully curating candidates based on your requirements. With our expertise, you can save valuable time, energy, and uncertainties.

Hello everyone,
I would like to share my experience regarding my Postal ID.
September 14, 2021: I applied for Postal ID kasi magpapalit na ako ng demographic sa mga government IDs ko. From San Juan City to Muntinlupa City. Since Postal ID is the easiest one to get, ito ang una kong inasikaso. Birth Certificate and Baranggay Certificate lang po ang prinovide ko. Registration Process and Biometrics went smoothly. During this time, hindi po available ang expedite kaya I waited for 3 months po for delivery.
December 2021: I waited for the whole month and walang dumating na Postal ID. I was in a WFH setup during this time and wala po talagang karterong dumating.
January 8, 2022: Nasunog po ang upper section ng Starmall Alabang which is kung nasaan po ang mga government satelite offices nila. Unfortunately, kasama po ang Post Office. At this point, naging selfish na ako thinking "paano na Postal ID ko?"
March 2022: Nalaman po namin na may bagong Post Office na in Alabang, near Sogo Hotel. Nag follow up po ako sa status ng Postal ID ko. One of the staff photocopied my receipt and sabi niya ire-request daw po for reprinting. However, it may take a while daw po since need ng kasabay para hindi raw po sayang sa resources. Okay, I understand. So waiting game po ako ulit.
August 2022: I am now working onsite during this time, sa Quezon City po ang workplace ko. I followed up once more sa Post Office sa Alabang. Thinking na baka na-reprint na ang ID ko, unfortunately wala po silang update. Photocopy ulit nila receipt ko and ipa-follow up daw sa head office.
November 2022: Same thing, wala pa rin. Photocopy ulit receipt ko, to follow-up. But this time, nakausap ko po yung kartero na naka-assign sa baranggay namin. He gave me his phone number para sa kanya na po ako directly magfollow-up which I did. Hindi naman po siya sumasagot until...
March 2023: Back to Post Office ulit for follow-up. I also learned what happened sa kartero. He died around February 2023. This time, sinabi ng staff na stopped daw po ang printing sa head office and wala sila ETA. May isang kartero ulit na nakipag usap sa akin, binigay ang phone number niya, and this time kinuha yung receipt ko. I was hesitant to give it, but he said na mas mapapadali raw kung nasa kanila ang resibo. I took photo of my receipt and took note of his full name.
Until now, wala pa rin po sa akin ang Postal ID ko. Same with the previous mailman, hindi nagre-reply sa text at hindi sumasagot sa tawag yung bagong kartero. I am more worried now because may nasunog na part ng Post Office sa Manila. I know it will cause another delay sa Postal ID ko. I sent email na rin po sa Post Office and sent message sa FB page nila but wala sumasagot.
I have a few questions regarding this experience hoping anyone here have an answer since ang Post Office ay hindi sumasagot:
1) Can I just ask for refund and magapply at biometrics na lang ulit? 2) Paano po yung validity period? Going 2 years na po since nagapply ako.
Thanks in advance!

Here's a great story about an entrepreneur crushing it an unglamorous, unsexy industry: porta-potty rental.
Pooping is a great equalizer. No matter who you are — you, me, the King of England, the President of the United States, and the person who does the President’s dry cleaning — at some point in the last day or two, we’ve all had to sit down and perform this most basic of bodily functions.
(If you haven’t, please see a doctor urgently, or at the very least, eat more fibre.)
And when people have been doing something for thousands of years — eating out, building homes, swimming, watching plays, and yes, pooping — there’s probably a profitable business in that niche.
That brings us to Gary Mead, the poop millionaire of Chelmsford, Essex, here in the UK.
Gary has built Euroloo, his porta-potty rental business, into a company with revenue of about £9m and profit of £1m. Renting porta-potties.
How has he built this business?
Origins
Gary’s story begins in the late 90s. At the tender age of 22, he started a small property management company in his home town of Chelmsford, Essex, about 30 miles northeast of London. According to his LinkedIn profile, he grew it every year for five years in a row, achieved profitability, and sold it. A successful exit by the age of 27 — not bad at all.
Possibly just to prove it wasn’t luck, Gary then started a small property management company in his home town of Chelmsford, Essex. He grew it every year for three years in a row, achieved profitability, and sold it. Again.
(If you take nothing else from this post, learn this: if Gary Mead ever sells you a property management company, make sure you include a non-compete clause.)
As a result, at just 30 years old, Gary had two successful exits under his belt. Likely holding some capital and a well-earned degree from the University of Hard Knocks, Gary scouted around for the next chapter in his career.
What next for this intrepid entrepreneur? Go for the property management three-peat? Start a SaaS business? Rest on his laurels and start a coaching business?
Not for young Gary. No, Gary saw his future paved with brown gold.
In 2003, Gary Mead founded Euroloo. Euroloo rents porta-potties to you, for a fee, including drop-off, pick-up, and weekly servicing.
This is what Mike Rowe would call a Dirty Job. When these porta-potties are dropped off on site on day one, they’re clean. When they’re picked up again on day seven, they are not. Someone has to make them clean again before renting them to the next customer.
That’s both a blessing and a curse. It’s a curse because, you know, you have to clean up poop. For more detail on this subject, check out this article from the wonderfully named company Poles and Holes:

“A good pair of gloves and a spray bottle full of cleaner is all it really takes to keep a porta-potties looking like new!”

It’s a blessing because grads from Harvard Business School and the LSE don’t want to go into this business. It’s not glamorous, it’s not sexy, and you probably don’t get admiring looks when you talk about it at the dinner table.
That’s great, because you don’t want to be competing against HBS and LSE grads. You want to compete, as Nick Huber says, with the type of person making a lot of money and using a fax machine. You are more likely to find those people in an industry like porta-potties. And with some smart use of technology, you can out-compete them.
SEO works with poop too
Euroloo are doing a couple of things you don’t usually see from companies in industries like this.
Firstly, they’re putting time and money into paid search. If you google “portaloo hire [city]” you’ll see them come up (at least in the UK). I did this for my city, Nottingham, and Euroloo are #2 in the sponsored search results, and they’re also #2 in the organic search results.
If I click through on mobile, I’m taken to a landing page, that includes the city name, and a phone number with a local area code.
But wait! If I google “portaloo hire Manchester,” they’re the #2 sponsored result again. If I click through, I’m taken to a different landing page, that mentions a different city, with a different local phone number, which makes them look like a local Manchester business.
This is a level of tech and internet marketing that you honestly just don't see it blue collar industries like this. Definitely makes them stand out. And it's not that hard to do either.
Is there money in porta-potties?
Short answer: yes.
Euroloo are based in the UK so a lot of their company financials are public info. I dove into Euroloo’s financial statements to see what I could learn.
They don't publish a full P&L because they're so small, but their retained earnings -- i.e. the total cumulative profit in the business -- went up by £871k in 2022.
That means that after any dividends paid, Euroloo made £871k profit.
The UK corporate tax rate is 19%, and £871k is the after-tax profit, meaning the pre-tax profit must be £1.075m.
I also estimated their revenue based on the accounts receivable. Euroloo are selling to trade customers, probably on credit terms, so those construction crews and event management teams are paying for their porta-potties after they’ve used them.
On 31st March 2022 they had £422.8k outstanding in accounts receivable. That includes 20% VAT (UK sales tax) that they can’t count as revenue, so if we strip that out, we're left with a figure of £352k.
Guessing that their customers are on 14 day credit terms, then you do 352k / 14 * 365
= £9.2m annualised revenue.
Lastly, just for fun, I got a quote from Euroloo to rent my own porta-pooty.
The minimum rental period is 4 weeks at £195. That works out as £48.75 per week.
If their revenue is around £9.2m and each toilet rents for an average of £48.75 per week, we come up with a total of 188,438 toilet hire weeks per year.
I'm guessing each toilet is in use 90% of the time to account for time spent picking up, cleaning, and delivering. That means they need about 4000 porta-potties.
Their financials say they've spent £3.2m on fixed assets, which means each toilet costs around £800 each.
This also tells us that the real business here isn’t buying expensive assets and renting them out. Porta-potties are about £800 each, and you can rent them for £48.75 a week. Your payback period is less than 6 months.
So this is really a logistics and distribution business. The trick here is making sure that your 4,000 porta-potties are on site, earning income, as much as possible.
The secret sauce
So our master of poop, Gary Mead, has a business with around £9m in revenue, a fleet of around 4,000 portaloos, netting him at least £900k a year, while employing 93 people in the process.
What I really love is how Gary describes the secret sauce. The engine of growth. It’s word of mouth and repeat business. How do they drive that word of mouth? What ensures their incredible reputation?
Gary's LinkedIn page simply says:
We want our customers to recommend us to others and to use our services time after time because:

• It’s easy to work with euroloo
• We deliver and service as promised
• We are friendly and customer focussed
• Our people are trained and good at their job

I love the simplicity. These principles are not rocket science. Euroloo is a phenomenal example of, as Charlie Munger says, “taking a simple idea, and taking it seriously.”
So you can get rich following the Euroloo playbook:

1. Pick an unglamorous industry.
2. Focus on operational and customer excellence.
3. Layer in some technology.
4. Keep at it for 20 years.

That’s what Gary Mead has been doing since 2003. Over that time he's built an incredible business worth millions that provides a great living for him, his family, and his team. I love to see it. Anyone could do this. It’s not easy, but it is simple.

When the Fae of the star court visited Earth during the bronze age and early iron age they struck a deal with the gods and other primordials that had interests in this world. What this deal exactly entailed is unknown. The star court was allowed to appropriate humans over the years until they had a sizable population of various cultures. The Fae put these people on a new world, a world where magic flowed stronger that on earth and their gods came with them.
One of these groups were people of what is now known as Ireland, their descendants remember this place as "Eirè" and although few stories have survived about this mysterious place of origin it is clear to them that the Fomorians, Firbolg, Sidhe, and even the Tuath Dé Dannan existed back then as well.
according to the stories, the Fomorians were the first inhabitants of Eirè who were challenged by the Fir Bolg, these two would then be overthrown by the Tuath Dé Dannan, though the Fomoire seemingly allied with the Dé Danann at first. The origins of the "Goodly folk", the Aos Sidhe is also unclear but almost all druids and bards agree that they were responsible for bringing their people to Talam ùr.
The specifics are unknown to them, they know not of the courts, but they do know of the "Sidhe", their power, and the "otherworld".
Most humans living on Talam ùr call themselves "folk of Eirè", referencing the mysterious place where they originated from. After being brought to Talam ùr in separate groups the Tuatha Dé Dannan tried to help them in building a new existence, however, during this period the Fomire, diminished Fae that had a rivalry with the Tuath Dé Dannan managed to find a way to Talam ur and attacked them in full force.
this war raged on for centuries and meanwhile, the separated groups tried to survive, some who had been brought here with some resources and tools fortified themselves and tried to survive by farming and hunting. In these early days three groups came into being that are somewhat separate from the normal "Folk of éire", the Faoladh, the folk of the scythe, and the Muirgheilt.
The following descriptions are a summary of these concepts, but i am unsure if this could work, though i hope it will.
The Faoladh are descendants of earthborn "werewolves" unlike true shapeshifters these people can freely turn into an animal or hybrid form. this ability comes from the rituals that created werewolves in the Neolithic era, the Faoladh are descendants of people affected by a weaker ritual, their claws are not anti-magical and they cannot turn others into werewolves and they are in full control of their ability. The Faoladh’s population is large enough to reproduce themselves without inbreeding and thus after multiple generations, they have become somewhat distinct from normal humans with wolf-like eyes, a more muscular body, and legs that are seemingly starting to become digitigrade
these traits are however mostly found in the Tuath Connoicht, a territory that the Faoladh ruled and protected during the war between Tuath Dé Dannan and Fomoire and where most of them live. Faoladh that live elsewhere are more likely less wolf-like in appearance. Though there are relatively few of them they can be found outside of the Tuath Connoicht, often as sellswords.
The Tuath Péal are what we would call "giants", standing twice as tall as a large human they are descended from a group of people that prayed to their ancestors for aid as they were having trouble surviving in this strange land. Their ancestors, the Fir Bolg granted them aid in the form of a transformation that would create the first Giants, or that is at least what most people believe as the giants do not often speak of the Fir Bolg or their origins.
The larger tribes of giants are known as the (folk of the scythe), as they have over generations turned to farming to survive. There are more than 20000 Giants on Talam ùr nowadays, a small population compared to the more than 100000 normal humans living on this humongous island though there are similar populations on the other islands as well which suggests that at some point they crossed the frozen bridges during the Winter of Mourne when the human settlements struggled to survive to seek for new lands and resources.
In rare cases where giants and men fight the giants have the overall advantage, however since they need far more food their true weakness is their supplies, this is less a weakness for the Tuath Fiach who are nomadic but for the Tuath Peal this is a big problem. have less skill in crafting armor and weapons and fewer numbers than the smaller humans such wars have always ended in stalemates. Giants have the same weak spots as normal humans and spears are very effective against them. These clashes are however unlikely, giants might have two times the strength of an average man but they also are far less warlike.
They are very talented stonecrafters and buildings made by giants are works of art.
The Muirgheilt are however an enigma to most, they are considered as a form of Sidhe by most, but the truth is far more terrifying, these half-human, half-fish/seal creatures were once humans. They struck a deal to escape the Fomorians with a Sidhe and have since then developed into their own species (They are the least fleshed out of all these concepts)
The idea is that most of these people have due to their history learned to cooperate, it is no utopia but overall Faoladh and the folks of the scythe and of Eirè live together under the rule of an Ard Ri, a high king to who the other provincial Ri owe fealty. Most of Talam ùr is wilderness and thus cooperation is necessary to survive Fomorian raids for example.
Their cultures are something I still have to flesh out, but I wanted to ask if these concepts might work for a Celtic inspired island.

tbh i dont use reddit so im not too big in the in depth conversations, but i was surfing to see if anyone felt this way as well? the benefit of the doubt thing that simon constantly hinted at with maddie rlly was too real like i mean she literally vouched for everyone whenever simon would bring up a new suspect and then eventually say…”oh u were right lets get to the bottom of this and what they did” and for me i found it very annoying. Like bro are u rlly combating simon about mr anderson bc he oddly rlly close to u and even gave u his NUMBER(which idk ab yall but thats very weird if i asked any of my hs classmates). like the way simon got irritated EVERYTIME she would say(oh this cant be them or oh no way)….like bro we on the third suspect by now n the first is smb who REALLLYYY broke ur trust, like stop giving these ppl the benefit of the doubt. i just feel her ignorance(even tho she did apologize to simon eventually) made me very much dislike her, also the little things she did like when simon is literally testing and she’s belligerently telling n yelling at him to tell anderson to check his phone n email…like bro he’s trying to test😭😭😭 u can easily juss watch anderson behind him n eventually wait till he opens up his phone(seriously i dont even understand why she went through all tht trouble eventually the avg human being is gonna unlock their phone in the matter of 1-2 hrs in 2023…she couldve just watched behind him to see him put it in himself). Also the time where hes gettin taken in by the cops and she’s annoyingly yelling “SIMON WHATS HAPPENING SIMON WHERE ARE THEY TAKIN U?!?!” like bro SHUTT UP u act like he would kno or could even tell u in the first place☠️idk things like this rlly made her annoyin to me at first. I feel like the only reasonable person to overthink on why or if they would do it is obviously her mom.

I have a mastercard with capital one that I had opened in Canada but have since moved overseas. I can no longer access my online account as the phone number listed with my card is no longer mine so I can't receive the access code. Furthermore the card I do have is expired so when I try to make a collect call I'm unable to enter my card number in order to speak to a human. Just wondering if anyone has some advice on what to do in this situation.

(First I'll provide a bit of context, this is a timeline of Earth where several pagan religions have survived into the Medieval age, I'm focusing on the region around the Himalayas where a religion of my making called Tonpa has spread from the desert to the Jungle, I've changed the names of the Geographical features and real life religions and areas/Kingdoms around a bit so let me give you a guide. )
Jangshun - Tibet.
Monyul - Bhutan.
Taishigang - Nepal.
Tsaparang - Bangladesh.
Khotesh - Khotan/Xinjang basin.
Dharmist - Buddhist and Hindu.
Tengger - Tengri.
Boncho - Bon.
(This is going to be split up into several posts, just a warning)
​
An overview of the 5 Tonpa Kingdoms.
In the Himalayas region, stretching from the Khotesh basin to the north-west through the snow-capped mountains and down the jungles surrounding the Brahmaputra delta, are 5 Kingdoms that have a shared history, connected by one religion.
The religion is known as Tonpa and it sprang from ancient beliefs in the Jangshun plateau, and spread to encompass an impressively large area, beating out several other religions, most notably Boncho and Dharmism and grew to resist attempts to conquer its lands by Tengger and Confucian forces.
---We, the people of Tonpa know in our hearts that the Universe is a giant river and all stars and planets are floating through it, destined for the Great Lake of Rebirth, the Cosmic River starts from a giant fountain where the 3 Universal Gods brokered peace with one another after a great 30,000 year war, the souls created as fighters in the war gained worldly bodies and were greeted by the 3 Universal Gods.
In the great fountain, two places were created, the one atop the fountain a joyous place of life and celebration, but under the fountain a cold place formed, one of constant death and torture, the 3 Universal Gods declared that all shall experience both these places, the righteous shall see the bottom place first to cleanse themselves of their life's transgressions before being rewarded with time among the 3 Universal Gods, the wicked shall see the joyous place first, for even the wicked cannot go their entire lives without doing good and seeing a paradise lost when their good deeds reward expires is a punishment unto itself.
“You shall see the least of your deeds first” Promised the Universal Gods, for once your mortal deeds are rewarded and punished then your soul shall spring forth from the fountain and become the water that carries stars and worlds along the Cosmic River, once your soul reaches the Great Lake of Rebirth, you are carried to a world where a newborn body awaits your soul, if you are righteous enough you will be carried to a world that is destined for the Great Lake of Rebirth for once a world enters the Great Lake of Rebirth the soul ceases to exist and once a soul ceases to exist it spreads its will across the Universe and becomes an unknowing part of life itself.
The 3 Universal Gods give every star a world that revolves around it and every world 3 Earthly Gods to govern in their stead as avatars.

As workplaces evolve, upskilling and cross-skilling becomes increasingly important for employees to stay relevant. Over two-thirds of learning and development (L&D) programmes today are starting to focus on reshaping and rebuilding their organizations going forward.
Traditional L&D programmes are no longer as efficient as before. Bite-sized online learning modules, on-the-job training and even job shadowing are some of the new training methods used to encourage knowledge transfer and exchange within the organization. That said, implementing these L&D programmes is not enough. Organizations need to also learn how to track employees’ training progress over time to ensure that their L&D programmes are making as much impact as possible.

WHY TRACK EMPLOYEE TRAINING PROGRAMMES?

Aside from regular L&D programmes offered by the organization, employees today are equally thirsty for knowledge, with 6 in 10 pursuing learning opportunities outside of work training. The top 2 reasons are that people simply enjoy learning new things and that it enhances their opportunities for career advancement. These continuous professional development programmes also ensure that employees working in high-regulated industries such as Insurance and Banking remain abreast of the latest industry regulations and standards in order to service their clients. Having a well-administered employee tracking programme also provides insights into the effectiveness of the organization’s existing training programme and uncover knowledge gaps. Concurrently, it serves as a power tool in convincing C-suites or key stakeholders to invest in tools and programmes to further support the employees on their own professional development journey.

HOW TO TRACK CONTINUOUS PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN EMPLOYEES?

Tracking continuous professional development in employees goes beyond just measuring the number of employees that have passed a course or received external certification. The system needs to be able to measure the effectiveness and impact of employee training.
There are different types of CPD tracking systems available in the market today: spreadsheet-based systems, dedicated CPD tracking software, Learning Management Systems (LMS), and Human Resources Information Systems (HR) just to name a few. Each system has its own methods in tracking and measuring the progress and performance of employees. Here are some considerations when deciding on the most appropriate continuous professional development system for the organization.

EASE OF USE AND ACCESSIBILITY

A strong user experience enables HR and employees to easily track their existing and upcoming learning objectives. Some software also comes with features that notifies employees and HR when a certain course or certification is due for renewal or recertification.
The system should also be easily accessible for employees to input their training objectives and track progress. For example, some systems allow employees to enter their progress and monitor their courses through the mobile phones, making it convenient to track their professional development on the go.

CUSTOMIZATION AND FLEXIBILITY

Continuous professional development programmes are likely to differ between organizations and even among employees. It is best to engage a software that allows for customization and flexibility so that it can be tailored to the organization’s and employees learning objectives.

ABILITY TO INTEGRATE WITH INTERNAL SYSTEMS

Integrating continuous professional development software with other L&D platforms and even HR management systems facilitates ease of tracking of ongoing courses or programmes that an employee may be involved in. HR can also link it together with their fnance systems to facilitate course registrations and payments. When multiple systems are integrated together, this minimizes data entry errors or missing information.

COST AND VALUE FOR MONEY

Most continuous professional development software operate on a licensing basis. Oftentimes, these software comes with key basic features with the option to customize and add additional features based on the organization’s needs. These will no doubt be a hefty investment for the organization. Hence, it is essential to review the features of each continuous professional development software to determine whether it meets the organization’s learning needs and objectives, before committing to one.

CUSTOMER SUPPORT

As with any software platform, technical issues and end-user queries may come up from time to time. Read past users’ reviews and enquire about the customer support process. Ideally, it should be seamless and easy for end-users to reach out for support, be it through emails, phone calls, or online assistance. The system should also be regularly updated to maintain a seamless user experience and ensure compliance with the respective industry’s continuous professional development standards.
Developing good training and development programmes are essential to build and sustain the future workforce. By equipping employees with new skills, it ensures that the organization and employees remain competitive in the ever-evolving business climate.
To meet these goals, organizations need to be able to track employee training to ensure that existing L&D programmes are effective in driving continuous professional development among employees. With a robust tracking system, it helps HR to monitor and measure the effectiveness of these training programmes and in turn, enhance these programmes to upskill and cross-skill employees.
