Now this day is really, *really* dragging

[Badgers]

Still in the fecking office.
Grumpy and the phone rang.
Recorded message told me that I had been 'selected' for a free holiday and to press 9 for more details.
Pressed 9 out of morbid curiousity and got a pleasing young Indian chap on the phone explaining the next step.
After rambling on for a while he asked me if I used Visa or Mastercard to which I replied 'neither'
He seemed put out by this and asked me to check my card
At this point I bid him good luck on his quest

 

[Badgers]

Ahhhh....

Late, lazy start to this Friday.
10:00 meeting in North London so get an extra hour and a half on the sofa

This weekend has been a long time coming but just a handful of hours remain now and I have suddenly had a possible change of jobs appear via a friend. Think I am going to apply for it today and see what happens

good luck with that - change is good

 

[Badgers]

change is good

I think that change is needed now but this is by no means a 'shoe in' or anything. Get to apply directly to the HR bod which will help as it saves them money and should speed the process up a bit....

Hard decisions to make as despite the shit at my place I do have loyalties to people there, not least of all my customers. However when you wake most mornings thinking that you do not want to go to work it is normally time to move on.

On that note I need to get off this sofa and in the bath!!!

i felt the same, felt loyalty to work mates, and to tenants, but the shit got too much to take, way too much hassle, i get a lot less now, and the same pay as before (even though they pay me by cheque which is a little annoying)

A while ago the boss broke our cafetiere - we make coffee in it every morning - after a week of her saying "Ooh, I suppose I should get a new one, I wonder where you get one from" I bought a cheapo but perfectly good one from Sainsbury's, however, it is slightly smaller than the old one.

Bearing in mind she and the newbie never, ever make the coffee in the morning it pisses me off that she now moans to herself if there is only half a cup left for the newbie and herself.

Well, either

a. by a bigger fucking cafetiere
b. Come in on time and make the coffee and you'd get a 3/4 full cup like me and my other colleague do
c. Make a second pot - no one will stop you!

FFS

 

[marty21]

just moved a load of boxes

 

[Artaxerxes]

I have a cold...

Irs also amusing to see that in these uncertain times the CEO just emailed the entire IT support team with an offer of bonuses if we help the retarded recruitment consultants and pimp jobs out

 

[QueenOfGoths]

My colleague is off to San Francisco for a few days next week so is quite stir crazy and I am feeling the same!

He better bring me back something good!!

 

[Badgers]

Morning meeting made of MASSIVE fail today.
Never mind, back in the office and a million things to do before I leg it out of here (not as early as I hoped) at about 17:00.

La la la la

 

[sojourner]

I've done all my sales calls, even got two viewings out of it (fucking HELL!), but now I've started to come down with a cold, and all I really fancy doing is opening a bottle of wine.

I'm at home

That would be a really bad idea, wouldn't it..?

 

[Badgers]

By the look of my MD he has done a full bottle (Shiraz) lunch today so I say GO FOR IT!!!

 

[Me76]

Am going to spend my afternoon looking for grungy fairy images for my 'Carbon Champion' notes

The sun is well over the yard arm now

There are more reasons

I think this is one my favourite threads ever

Part 3 has a good feel about it so far.

Agree

Bit of an emotional rollercoaster, but encouragement to drink and do generally silly stuff really makes it

 

[Badgers]

I will be drinking ale in around 3.5 hours which is a nice end to the week.

In other news our company share price rose today (£0.13) which is the first time for a while

 

[sojourner]

13p is a big improvement on the other day!

Ne te confundant illegitimi

Good luck

Have 'expressed my interest' in the job with a silver tongued email. This has gone to my friend who has forwarded it to the HR bod with a glowing reference......

Eeeeek!!!!!
