Pics of you in a 3-4XL shirt please. I bought a 2XL Archer shirt and it hangs a little.

God didn't do shit. Everyone knows in the beginning there was Nothing. Then Shia did a flex and said "JUST DO IT." Then The Big Bang happened.

The nearest Pokestop is the Muslim Centre.

That's why I'm not fussed about not recycling.

I had a theory that work was trying to convince me to leave, today that belief has been reinforced. As some of you may have seen a dynamite picture taken of a famous film star back from the dead shopping in a well-known supermarket. I have now received another summons into the interview room for a scheduled telling off. Apparently someone from management "complained" about the picture this morning, and there aren't many on my friend list, so I removed those I could find and potential suspects. Even my union rep knew before me. Which is something I will be bringing up. APPARENTLY NOT EDIT: Mecca just called, I got a trial shift tomorrow. So hopefully this could be the end.

I'm getting fairly confident you're making this stuff up now.

I think I'm stuck between an anus and a hard place on the job front. My "experience evening" at Mecca was uneventful, it was basically a free night of bingo. Even the staff were having some banter with me over it. However... I had a quick chat with the duty manager and she said it was part time. 16 hours... my heart sank, even though she mentioned overtime. I had a word with a friend who works there and she mentioned how she started on 16 hours and became full time after 10-12 weeks. They're going to give me a call about a trial shift on Monday, but I'm going to have to try and get some sort of guarantee that even if I won't start on 25+ hours, I will be able to get more soon. Otherwise I'll have to refuse, because I can't live on 16 contracted hours a week. I could last a couple of months if I used some of the house money Mummy gave us to as a potential stop-gap. But for only a coupla months.

Goafer And I Started A Let's Play YouTube Channel....
EEVILMURRAY replied to ReZourceman's topic in General Chit Chat
Yeah, I'd be wary of that every, EVERY time. Whenever I plug in my mic to record stuff, it swaps the default speakers over to it as well. I have the control panel open before I even turn on the phantom power now. -
I thought the help to buy scheme was for those who couldn't afford the "normal" 10% deposit on a house, allowing them to pay 5% with the scheme covering the other 5?

Aw, I was hoping for a physical copy so I could trade it in... OR... Get it on PC and let the missus have Stick to download on hers. I liked playing it on Ps3 though... :'(

If she thought that you were pinning your future on just going for that job and no other then she's naive at best, stupid at worst. Imagine all the people's time she wasted on interviews as she fires off rejection letters.
-
I do like what they're planning with the costume ideas. However I hope it's not going to be based on what equipment you have. As I went through various wardrobe changes in Stick.

I've not replaced/painted over the wallpaper that was affected by the burst water pipe the day of the new carpets being fitted.

Finally saw this at the cinemas last night. Much better than I thought it was going to be. Hope Harley doesn't say much in future roles (naturally this doesn't bode well for her own film)
-
I've never handed in a resignation before, just told them it was my last day working for them/being let go. I wanna get a new job, have my notice ready and then flip out over something trivial, say "I'll be right back" and then come back a minute later as if I'd just written it.
-
What did you say in yours?
-
Well, another verbal warning to add onto the list. Only 8 weeks until it's "off" my record.
-
I too invested in that bundle also. I now have two Game Maker Studio licenses. Like Ashley I am interested in seeing the source code in action. I also backed a Kickstarter where some guy is teaching you how to make an RPG in Game Maker on Udemy. It's kinda advanced apparently so I plan to work my way through the tutorials first.

Basically my two homies here. See job topic for basic underachieving me. I was toying with the idea of a similar topic for some time. But it was called "time-travelling-ghost", well, was a working title. The plan was what: when you die you become a ghost that travel through time and see anything, you could possess people but only to experience their emotions, not to control them. I had so many points in time swimming in my mind it overwhelmed me. Like you @Goafer, I have them feels about being interested in seeing what happens next. But apart from that I see it more as an end than a beginning.

Looks like I'm going to get another warning, as mentioned about my Facebook post. They first try to say I was "bringing the company into disrepute/damaging the brand", as if I was the one cutting the trading hours/jobs, which is simply wrong. Now they're hanging onto the fact that I made a post about that supermarket despite being warned about posting about that supermarket before (those times it probably was warranted being disciplined though, I can't remember) I really hope this Mecca thing goes well on Friday.

First world problems. I'm trying to cut the trees round the border of our garden and the battery went flat. Gotta wait til tomorrow to carry on. However it looks like it's going to rain...
-
I'm not sure... I was thinking 5 pages myself. Might have to go for 6 instead: 2 pages about you mentioning how much you love your new job 1 pages bitching about a manager at your new job 2 pages continuous bitching whilst looking for a new job 1 new job accepted. I think it's possible. Let's do this. :p

*sigh* you and yo' job whoring. Nice one dude. Thinking of starting a pool as too how many pages into this topic until Animal gets a new job, any takers? Hopefully we'll be finding out tomorrow how the shafting of nights is going to affect our routines. Normally each day we'd scan the gaps and then look for them, cunningly entitled... Gapscan. Apparently this will be pushed to just twice a week, which may lead to a reduction in hours unless they expect us to do more of other things (one of which I sincerely hope they don't, as it's boring enough the amount I do of it already), so things are looking so uncertain for basically anyone who isn't checkouts/specialist department. Since the secretarial route isn't giving me any shred of results jobwise, I've had to go back to looking at local hospitality things. The Mecca Bingo down the road from me was looking for someone so I applied for that, got an email saying they think I would be a good start and now it's time to see how the club/customers are like (as if I've never been before) and to call/email to arrange a free visit. I emailed them saying that I wanted to be straight up and that I was already member and already liked what I saw. They rang me back still offering a free visit, which gave me a bit of optimism. So free visit on Friday, gotta be on best behaviour. Gonna seek out the boss for personal handshake and appreciation of him offering me the visit. Not sure how to approach the job thing after though, do I bring it up when I meet him? Email says: "Like what you see? Once you've experienced being a customer, and believe you have the passion to deliver great service and would add value to our team, we'll then contact you for a further chat and team try-out." I doubt they're gonna be watching me throughout the whole of my time there so wondering how they're going to gauge me.

Stop getting interviews dammit! There are people out there who want to get a job and be miserable for years without employed people like you fapping between jobs like a game of musical chairs :p

They tried again earlier, another person leaving a voicemail and email... These guys are persistent. On the supermarket front I've gotten myself into more trouble it seems. After mentioning Atlantis and that our store may not be 24 hours anymore meant I got a summons earlier today about an "invitation to investigation" regarding "posting something inappropriate about that supermarket" tomorrow morning, which I assume was my latest status, as I haven't bitched about my job in ages ¬_¬. Whilst fishing for information what it might be about, I think the general reasoning is a combination of the following: A] Nights don't know that their jobs are going, B] I beat them to it. A I know is 99% untrue, as it was them who told me, I texted my cousin who works on nights today to double check they all were told and she said they were on Monday, then went on to say that they had also been told by their managers not to tell anyone for fear of da press getting wind of it. I wasn't informed of this gag order. There may be a slim chance that some members of nights may not have been aware but I feel the numbers (is any) may be negligible. It also didn't help that the managers in the day weren't aware of it happening either, but if communication is crappy between management that isn't my problem, if there is going to be such a shake up you'd think they'd be amongst the first to know. The union rep who is available doesn't seem to share my views on how badass I am. My usual rep, who I managed to speak to about this also but is off all week agrees with my badassitude so I'm gonna ask the meeting be adjourned until Monday when she is available to represent me.
