Have applied for a few and was invited for a "group meeting" with a company last Friday. Was called immediately after the meeting inviting me for a one-to-one with the MD this morning. Went to Edinburgh and came away with the offer of the specific job i'd wanted. Full induction starts this Friday. Happy days. Had my induction today and start full-time Monday. Will see how things go 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Which within the following year I was made redundant from my duties, as the new management knew better and were heading in a "new direction"...that new direction has been discussed today with great hilarity. The new management thought their new technology and understanding of people through social media , has plummeted that company, to the same level as 2010, on their knees, before I took over. The staff are leaving like rats on a sinking ship! The customers are not even asking. What even topped that, I now have free shares in his new business. Only have to turn up at a few meetings every 3 months, as a consultant. No hands on. I ran this mans business for 10 years making him millions..... Happy times. I'll give it 3 months before either you or him are found face down in the river. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Empty It Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Car insurance up for renewal, jumped online to see if I could get it cheaper and I was quoted 200 cheaper. Phone my insurance company tell them this and I get my policy for £250 cheaper and don't have to bother my arse changing company, result! 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Early start tomorrow and up to Glasgow. Numerous pints of T, watch Celtic V Lazio, more pints. Then drive home on Friday, after picking up the essentials which will see me through the next few weeks. The best bit of that is presumably heading back south on Friday, thus avoiding watching Levein's Hertz... 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The more important question is "why". Clearly an attempt by the spooks to stop kidnapped dissidents from recognising the route they were transported across. Saw a documentary about it years ago.

Shandon Par Posted October 27, 2019 Share Posted October 27, 2019 Was in a takeaway pizza place earlier. Just placed my order and paid when this guy walked in explained he was from the flat above the pizza place and needed advice. He explained that his flat was on fire and asked what he should do. I saw the pizza money going down the drain and was mentally preparing to head off to get pizza elsewhere. However, one brave chef stayed behind with me and as the firemen turned up and started piling into the tenements with their helmets on and hoses at the ready my brave chef finished my order. He may well now be under the ceiling of the flat above as the deluge of water from the fire hoses pours in or the flames engulf him but if so he died a hero’s death. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Wait, this clowns reaction to his house being on fire is to casually stroll downstairs and ask for advice?!? Torn between using the Moss GIF or the It's fine comic. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
