Mark Connolly Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Congratulations that sort of long service not so common nowadays. Apart from vagina sniffing what is VS? Victoria's Secret. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
broon-loon Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 (edited) Apart from vagina sniffing what is VS? VS = Voluntary Severance. We merged with another organisation and as part of that a financial package (based on length of service) was up for grabs to walk away. It was only really given to the bigger earners or where there was a pay back within 3 years. If you were to be replaced the chances of VS was unlikely especially towards the end of the scheme. Needless to say most of the 'Heid Honchos' walked away with a stash of cash leaving little left for the Plebs, me included.. Edit - Typos, due to grumpiness and age..

Must be a Septic way of making redundancy sound better. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sergeant Wilson Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 31 years in this job as of today. Missed out on a wee promotion last June and was refused VS last December. Now hanging on purely for the pension. Really want to walk away but circumstances dictate otherwise. There's a 'wind down' scheme that I will be eligible for in a couple of years so all isn't lost yet, although they will probably pull the plug on that before I'm eligible.. I started winding down on the 12th of March 1979. It's all down hill from here on in. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hedgecutter Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 It's the other half's work Burns Supper this evening, a repeat of what gave me the hangover of the decade last year. 'Champagne' reception with leftovers, lager whilst waiting, red wine for the table, whisky to toast the haggis and more lager before people started buying me Captain Morgans later. I will be much wiser this year to ensure I don't wake up in bed alone, still in formal gear as the other half is to be found sleeping on the bathroom floor, still hugging the toilet. Couldn't even bear the thought of making it down the driveway that morning, never mind the away day which I had already bought the train ticket for. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Septentrional Wasp Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 I got absolutely hammered last night, beyond belief. I'm still in bed suffering severely and sipping cold water. The thing is, every time I drink about 100ml of water, I throw up about a gallon of the stuff. I don't know where it's coming from. It's been happening all day and I definitely never had any water last night. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's been happening all day and I definitely never had any water last night. That's what happened to me during the forementioned hangover. Drank some water and it came back up within seconds, prolonging hangover for as long as possible. I'm pretty darn good at avoiding hangovers so it must have been a whoor of an event. Couldn't remember the taxi home if I recall correctly. Edited January 23, 2015 by Hedgecutter 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hedgecutter Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Have flat Coke or Irn Bru. I believe it was an M&S lasagne which sorted me out almost instantly later that day. Maybe Tesco's own brand works just as well. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
supermik Posted January 23, 2015 Share Posted January 23, 2015 Just had a fantastic ribeye steak for my tea. The quality of the Strathvale Irish beef range from Lidl's is second to none just now amongst all the supermarket meat choices. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
