  1. 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
  2. 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.
  3. If you can't find it at yo' local shop I think we have 1-2 left here if you give me monies.
  4. It doesn't seem to have happened for awhile now. However the ASUS GPU TweakII is still saying that the GPU is 100/102%, I'm hoping that it's just not reading it properly :S
  5. Yeah, I know in the world of job hunting you have to do some chasing, but I'm ringing someone up because he's too lazy to have an email conversation with me. Especially when he's demanding I ring him. During my post-work nap my phone went off, the number being one I don't recognise, the location saying Stoke, so I cancelled it and attempted sleep once again. My Dick Masterson text alert went off and I could tell whoever it was left a voice mail. Too tired to care at that moment, sleep continued. Shortly after waking up it went off again, text message: "Teleperformance: We have tried to contact you regarding available vacancies, interested? Call us on [number] to discuss this further. Stuart Aird." With a name like Teleperformance, my confidence wasn't instilled. Then came a following email: Dear Derek, I tried to contact you today regarding roles within our company that you have applied for. Unfortunately I have been unable to get a hold of you. If you are still interested in vacancies within Teleperformance please give us a call on 0800 100 180 to discuss vacancies and arrange a telephone interview. ** The call you received would have been from the number 0800 100 180 as this is our main recruitment number for the UK Regards Stuart Aird Teleperformance Recruitment Team The voicemail said practically the same thing. https://www.teleperformance.com/ if anyone is interested in a career in "a leading global outsourcing company providing omnichannel experiences to consumers." Make of that what you will. As bullshit as this opportunity clearly is, I'm amazed that they've gone after me firing on all cylinders. Normally it's just a phone call or email. Not phone/voicemail, text and email at the same time. I'm clearly a catch.
  6. A certain supermarket are once again going balls deep. Project Atlantis, a mythical concept only spoken about in hushed whispers, has now hit Beeston. Basically it's the decimation of 24 hour opening times and the shafting over of many a night staff. Some of them have told me they'll have to reapply for the new positions which will be made available in the day, none of them will be full time and many will just have to take redundancy as they can't afford the pay cut. If there is no one filling overnight, things are going to be mega shitty. It's gonna fuck up our stock control routines as well.
  7. If you any union reps at work, now be the time to contact them.
  8. Really don't know what my take is on this, got an email earlier: "Hi there You have logged in to Reed in the past week and at some point in your cv you have "bar" Please call me if you are interested in working at Nottingham Forest FC or Nottingham Trent uni on a casual basis. I have a lot of bar and hospitality work especially in the coming few months." Now, a little suspicious as this seemed, certainly did check some shit out on Reed and I do have bar in my CV, it appears more legit than the commission shit. It's just the casualness which concerned me. So I ask: "Could you please be more specific on what you mean by casual?" The response: "Give me a call better than playing email tennis mate " I may call him, for now I'm just... keeping it casual.
  9. For the POP fans in da house, I've noticed my gaming store now has some Mega Man ones.
  10. Expanding on this, her reply was: "In terms of feedback, please see below: · It would not be beneficial to yourself to have a placement with us for the time you specified as this would not give you enough time to develop and learn. We look to offer placements of 2/3 days a week (or more) as this will enable both parties to gain from the placement. · We also cannot offer a paid role at this current moment, and we cannot comment on the ability of a placement to turn into a paid role. · You came across well in the interview, but your thirst and desire for a career in the legal world did not come across." Then applied some, what I think was, hardcore beatdown: "Thank you for your feedback, although I find it most troubling. I did offer 2-3 days as a minimum placement, was it full days you were after? If so this does concern me if other firms feel that way as I wouldn't be able to obtain any placements with my current working hours. I was aware that it was unpaid and in no way expected to be offered a definite position in the future, that was just wishful thinking. The fact you also didn't feel my passion for a career in law also puts me at unease. I thought my rushing home from work and knocking at your door in under an hour was attestation enough, as well as the qualifications I've attained in my own time and expense. The only reason I can put this down to is nerves, this was the first legal career based interview I have had in several months and I did not want to come on too strong. Regardless of my concerns, I do appreciate your getting back to me and I shall try to work on these factors for future applications." Never got a reply back, which I'm not expecting any time soon.
  11. I was thinking of buying the Edge book also, but for a tenner it was too steep for me.
  12. I'm finding this Windows 10 thing a bit of a ballache now. It's all on. New graphics card in and it keeps freezing on me randomly. Sometimes it can run for hours before it stops or less than ten minutes. Some Googling mainly kept coming back to either "update your graphics drivers" which they already were and "Windows know about it and they're working on it" Thought I'd check about, and found the readings on my graphics card have the GPU at 100% straight from startup. Sometimes 102%. I can't see anything in the processes which is taking up all this data. I did read that it could be a bitcoin miner virus so downloaded malwarebytes which found nothing and then Hitman Pro which found "traces" of stuff and removed them, but the problem persists.
  13. Why not get yo' anus to the Steams?
  14. Pyroar isn't really playable at the moment. There are Talonflame decks being tried, as the normal Talonflame has an ability that lets you play it as a basic at the beginning of the game.
  15. I don't know what it is with bosses not realising something is our fault, yet hammering home that we need to do our job. We all got dragged into a meeting where were shown some reports showing some routines we were doing were 0% (ie we weren't doing anything) yet we had the paperwork which showed that we were doing the job. So the system was to blame but he didn't seem to grasp the message. We also got commanded to leave our group Whatsapp chat group* as he felt some things weren't appropriate, namely the various pictures of Shia. Then says how we should be communicating to each other more effectively. Warehouse is a complete shit tip because of the student return, we can't move because of the sheer number of cages with bedding, dish drainers and bins is fucking ridiculous. But we're still expected to deliver all our routines by way of... he never really got round to do our job with all these obstacles. *Naturally I'll be making a new one, but the whole process of telling us to get our phones out and direct us to the leave group button...
  16. Nice one Jethro! Did you fork out any extra?
  17. Perhaps, but to in order to have more going and seeing, there is a fair bit of doing in order to progress. For me, it just wasn't worth the time.
  18. Nah, there are a fair few places you can go and there is a fair bit to see, but there isn't a lot to actually do.
  19. Nottingham Massive.
  20. It's a little over minimum wage but I'm only contracted 25 hours a week. The missus earns a little more than me. But I still pay my way. It just leaves me with about £200 for the rest of the month.
  21. Depends how many X's you have to attack to get enough Y to make Z.
  22. That final eh?
  23. Using the skillz of a calculator. If I spread a cool one mil over 60 years that would give me just over £16,500 a year. Which is double what I make now. I could live comfortably off that. However I doubt I would do that. I'd probably make a few investments. Jump back into university or some other educational endeavour which I wouldn't have been able to do as I would've been busy working. Pay off the mortgage/get a new house/extension and then maybe buy another house and rent it out. Living off dem rentages. And naturally pimp out all my shit. Super King Size Bed. I'll go from a 47" telly to a... 48". I know.
  24. Was it by DPD?
