I know - nobody that frequents this Thread can hardly accuse people of dodging work. I just think its funny that you keep saying you're working when, in fact, you're just not.

I define work as being "in the office"! They dont pay me enough to work all the time!

Browsing all day while trying to make it seem like you're working is tiring business!

Yea I don't hide it with the lads around me but the bosses are always floatin around in here! They'd sack me!

Was this before or after you were made redundant - I'd say its well difficult to give a **** at this stage.

As I've said already.

I didn't make a 16k post count in a week or two

Yes, it's difficult to give a crap, so I don't.

ShiverinEskimo

True enough - I'm a little shocked at how quick that came around - thought they'd give a couple of month's notice or something. Have you anything lined up or are you going to bum about for a while and then think about possibly thinking about maybe looking for a job.

I hope you dont mind for changing subject but i am interested do you folks there play table tennis?

Its kinda popular here as fun, people lately buying them and playing, i also got addiction so i play 4-5 hours daily,it can make a man very tired although it doesnt look so

In one of my last jobs I used to work 12 hour night shifts, come lunch time at 1 or 1:30 in the morning we'd have a few games. Set up a few competitions on the shift, 'twas good crack.

Not really a change of subject there as I'd be dodging anythin' work related to play :pac:

ShiverinEskimo

I love table tennis - A hostel I was staying in in Fremantle had a table and since it took me about 5 weeks to find work in Perth I played it solid for that time. Up at about 10, table tennis til about 1, lunch til 2, table tennis til about 6, beer and table tennis til about 1 or 2.

The life.

ShiverinEskimo

Dammit - just noticed Alan made the last tag available "ryan adams=greatest ever".

Prick. Ryan Adams is awful.

delija_sever029

Cool,still i cant get used to miss table for few cm so i get pissed after short time coz it gets annoying,but thats the sport,i really got addicted and when i make few mistakes in a row i want to play more and more and another game coz i want to fix it,so at the end i forget when i started playing,sheesh...

Xavi6

Yeah down with that steamer Adams. Jeez he's an awful bore.

Xavi6

I can change one of my tags, I have 2!

Try seeing him live (present for girlfriend at the time).

He played, for what must've been 3 days.

Fans got more than their money's worth, but there was no consideration for those of us dragged to it

Having said that (before Al kills me) the Alice In Chains cover posted a few pages back wasn't bad.

Bounty Hunter

Why does everyone think there is no more tags available to add? I just added one that might appease all the Ryan Adams fans

Xavi6

Yep I just did the same

For jaysis sake.

I got my redundancy, and final pay money all together yesterday.

I had applied for another job with this company, they are hiring internally, and when I interviewed I was told that if I got the job, I wouldn't get the redundancy money, so I checked my bank yesterday, and it was there.

The manager said nothing to me though, so I just assumed someone else had gotten the job.

I've just been told "not to spend" the money, as they haven't decided between the three candidates yet. And if I get the job, they'll want the redundancy pay-out back :rolleyes::rolleyes:

Telling us on Monday.

This RUINS tomorrow for me, as I had planned on telling a few people EXACTLY what I thought of them, in a drunken rant.

ffs.

I'll probably see you there... Only I won't know who you are.

Hmmmm I dunno about burning bridges tbh. In theory its great. When I left school I did it to a teacher forgetting that my little brother had to go there and she hated him and was a right pain in the @ss to him (proving me right about her tbh - she's a bully) I'd LOVE to tell my boss EXACTLY what i think of him but I'd never get a reference off the fecker if I did that.

ShiverinEskimo

Hmm - I think only I cannot add tags as I have already added two.

Something smells very queer about that. If they have paid you redundancy, in essence, you're ties are cut, and you are essentially interviewing for a new job.

Yes, correct.

But they did tell us that if we got the new position, we wouldn't be up for redundancy. It's a clerical error.

I actually want the new position for the following reasons.

1. Boards posting privileges.

2. More money.

3. Courses offered, learning opportunities.

In that order.

And if I start dicking them around, they'll tell me to gtfo.

So I'm not going to.

Ah no, I can totally understand. One of those things that, whilst the law would be on your side, you'd be cutting your nose off to spit your face. Still, not a great way to run a company.

Where you actually going out with IrishBird?? I thought that was a running joke.
Yes, alcohol is always the answer. Get locked

Des, hold the phone - on a scale of 1 to 10 how much of a joke is this. 1 being cancer and 10 being John Delaney.

No, hes back working elsewhere but did go crawling back to the same company at one stage to a far lower position. Think it was a brain tumour, but surgery was a success.

Meh, I lost my last girlfriend to a ring girl.

I took her to a UFC to watch two seaty men in shorts molest each other in a cage and while this was grabbing my attention she went off to play tonsil tennis with this cute blonde ring girl in hot pants who I paid suprisingly little attention to before then. Me thinkin "3some" thought it'd be cool but it wasn't to be. She was a monotonous lesbian and she left me. She took the house, my UFC dvd collection (she didnt even like UFC the spiteful biatch) and all my money. All she left me with was our pet parrot "Julian" who just repeats over and over "Ooooooh you're so much better at this than Neil, Ooooooh you're so much better at this than Neil"........:o:o:o


Pick yourself up big guy! Someday you can be where I am!
