Had Internet Guy No.2 out this afternoon. Apparently, I live in “a beautiful hole”. Getting Internet is going to be problematic.

Told a team member in work I had an interview when asked why I was takeing a half day

This morning in front of everyone they asked how was my interview

Have people no cop on? Well it’s not a secret and realy I don’t care if people know and they probably guessed anyway but you don’t declare to the entire team

My fault too, now I’m saying nothing

doubly TA´d :mad:

The interview last week ^^^ led to a second round interview yaaaaay so I took another half day and did that. I also told nobody at all learning from last week. Now I say nothing

Came in this morning and the wagon asks how was your half day? Have an interview? Success?

The entire team listening. Oh she knows what she was doing, this wasn't an innocent gaffe. She isn't even a manager, same level as me.

You’re learning all the lessons the “hard way” there, M.

There are some work colleagues who can be friends but it’s best to keep things like “sickies” or “interviews” from them so they don’t tell the wrong person or prove untrustworthy.

I know one person who was going for a promotion against a few others from the department. She got the job but she got it by “shítting” all over her colleagues, telling the interview panel why they shouldn’t hire each of the others.

“Business is business” and all that. This person is landing you in it. It’s fine to look around but management tend to hold it against you. Especially when it comes to the “reward” part of the year.

Hopefully, you’ll get the job and leave the snakes in your dust.

Don't worry. The government is working on rolling out rural broadband. You should be connect by 2050 :P

When you buy soup and a crusty roll and they don't have butter sachets. Butter on a crusty roll dipped in hot soup is the best thing ever

Feeling particularly anti social today, but I have lots and lots of things to do and ppl to meet and deal with.

All set to head for a poop and then I realise the battery on my phone is dead.


I'll need to let this percolate while I get a few percent of battery.

No first new job wage in the bank today 😔

I had a job last year for a while where the wages would not be in on a Friday or Saturday a few times. The bosses response was, 'Listen the customers are paying in cheques, so you might have to wait until the next week for your wages'

TA that ATMs don't give out notes facing the same way. I like to have them all face side out in my wallet. Just made a withdrawal of a mixture of notes & they are all facing different ways.

My TA: I went into one of the SUPERmarkets (who claim to be good VALUe), to be specific to their off-licence. I need to get three bottles of a specific whiskey that they normally stock (it's on their website). It's pretty expensive. They didn't have it in stock in the actual shop. I asked them to order it in for me, and I offered to pay in advance. The non-business/non-customer-service savvy woman told me "Nah, we wouldn't get that in before Christmas anyway.", and not in the sense that if they ordered it now it wouldn't arrive before then, but in the sense that they refused to order it in for me.

Fine! I'll be doing all of my shopping elsewhere, from now on.

I feel like Vivian in Pretty Woman (but with a different career, obvs. Oh, and no Richard Gere, either. ). :mad:

I'm not a fan of that SUPERmarket either.

Two days in a row, as I was cycling in to work, a bin lorry pulled out in front of me and continued in the same direction I was going. :mad: I was able to overtake one of the easily enough but not the second.

My three pairs are flats. And suede. Each pair a different colour. Does that count?

Speaking of supermarkets, I was queuing behind a lady the other day and on the conveyor she had 6 bottles of prosecco and 4 bags of crisps.
I really want to know if she was having a night in or having a party.

I just can't decide and it's been bothering me.

Is it because she didn't invite you?

I was bathing in the prosecco whilst eating the crisps

Another roundabout one. After leaving college I was heading to the gym, and was in the right lane, waiting for a gap in traffic. This woman who was already on the roundabout stopped IN FRONT of me to let the van in the left hand lane off. Ffs like, you have right of way because you’re on the roundabout already, you don’t need to let people go! :rolleyes:

It's both. She's having a night in with the girlies and they're going to have a party
