Morning Losers!
Bit miserable weather here in da Hudd this morning. Can't actually see anything outside.

Today, I have more to do than I have time. I need to see if an image can be deployed, invent some test questions, install some cables, sort out some interview questions and all the while whilst hobbling around like a cripple.

Then off to Bury to be cared for for the weekend.

Laters!

Mehning,
Today i will be doing what i should of done yesterday but thought it was wednesday all day? (i know i started the thursday thread :? )

TKM i find the interview question "Who's your favorite football team" and whatever answer they give, go "ooh hmmm" and watch them squirm.

biggest decision today will be, do i have that glass of wine tonight after my run or not?

Morning,

got woken up by a minion texting me to say she's ill so won't be in for work today. I predict that today will be 17hours of hell.

Later

The Northern Monkey

Had a "team building" day yesterday, so going into work to discuss how it went etc... anyone got a noose?
At least there will be bacon I guess.

TFI Friday. Another night of disturbed sleep caused by hatchet faced b**ch across the road. Time for some police intervention I think before someone in the neighbourhood snaps.

All my new shiny stuff has arrived and much time was spent last night assembling and setting up the various pieces.

Final would-be minion to interrogate today then decision time on Monday.

Badminton this afternoon and then chill time with a beer or four.

Later......

I like that! I'm certainly after a question that throws them completely, that's nothing to do with the job, just to see how they react. If it makes them squirm, then good :twisted:

We also like the one "tell me about your previous manager"
gives you a good idea on how they work/respect the mangement.

I've been listening to Binaural beats as a bit of an experiment to see if it helped me sleep better, I have been sleeping much better, not sure if its the beats or the wine though.... the only thing is, I'm getting cravings for lentils, wearing badly knitted, ill fitting jumpers and Iiving in a teepee...

I'm hoping more bacon will cancel this out though

Morning rectum lickers, today will consist of valuing lumps of metal, ordering more metal, drawing little lines to represent lumps of metal and later on handing small circular lumps of metal over a wooden threshold in return for refreshments.

I may also throw a ball bown a narrow lane if the mrs has anything to do with it.

also 'what would your manager say about you'
Or if you could be a celebrity, who would you be and why? - Had a lad say Jordon once, he got the job

morning

working from home today = pub last night and a run this morning, fun times

Now just having a cuppa whilst the chimney sweep racks up the bills (ie, done that, but you need this for the log burner, this chimney has a nest - I'm going to have to go on the roof, etc, etc)

Other than that nothing can turn my good Friday mood, bar work which is trying very, very hard. Later is obviously pub

homers_double

I'm buying my own brush for our burner, as its an external flue I put an access vent in the base so I dont have to put up with kids going up the chimney.

farking knob head pricks in this world!!!

selling my cove frame, buyer asks "how do I know it's genuine?" (as there's no decals on there) fair question. so I show him where the frame is embossed with the easton logo on the tubes and that cove use 30mm seatposts and not many other people do.

he still doesn't believe me and reckons that it's nicked, but how much will I drop my price and that he can "gest one off ebay with a recipte see" (SIC)

well fark off and get one from ebay and stop wasting my time!! :x

Due at a customer site 30 minutes before I'm supposed to finish work today to look at an unspecified problem. When asked what the problem was, no one seem to know. So how do they know there's a problem then??? :evil:

Can't wait... :roll:

as a service engineer I love those problems

"it's not working"

"what's not working?"

"we don't know, it's just not working"!!!! wtf?

croptonboy

This one's like Chinese whispers. Someone else told someone else who told me, something on a spreadsheet wasn't working. We know so little, we don't even know if the problem's related to our product.

pesky_jones

Just claim to have fixed it - they can't prove you havn't. Great work ethic to adopt - I highly advise it.

Sh1t drive back from the lakes has put me in a bad mood and more incompetance from the NHS has really pissed me off now. I know I've only got to phone them on Monday to try and sort it out but it's the fact so far they've ignored everything I've said and I don't even want to think about how much time I've wasted so far this summer because they couldn't organise a piss up in a brewery.

Anyway, this afternoon will be playstation as I'm in the mood to kill some people and it's more socially acceptable to shoot them online in games than wander down into town with an axe. That is all.

On the subject of addictive substances!! Has anyone come across mcvities double chocolate digestives? They are the biscuit equivalent of crack (i imagine) I have not even looked at a choccy hobnob since my first taste. They don't taste anything special during the first biscuit but the rest are gone in seconds!!!

Hope this helps!

Long week in work this week, and next week may be longer. I'll be a Wouth Sales working on a project I can't talk about for a company I can't mention (but f**k me, about 'em bein' 'Evil Genius's For A Better Tomorrow tm'). No bikes for me next week.

To compensate, I'm going to try and kill a mate on the local trails tomorrow. :twisted:

Onwards! To tea! And roast chicken!

15 hours down, 2 to go. Then home for a beer.

Highlights so far today; Caught a guy pissing in the cleaner's storage cupboard - saw him on cctv. Asked him to leave. 'What for?'

Checked toilets, someone had blocked a toilet with blue roll, the soap dispenser and a bin. They had also smashed the seat off and smashed a hole in the toilet itself so that water spouted out when you flushed it (which they had clearly done many times.)

As this is day 8 of 16 in a row that I am working, its pretty fair to say that I hate my life right now!
