Missy Posted August 24, 2013 Report Share Posted August 24, 2013 That's rough. Will you two be able to stay out of each other's way, or, if you do have to work together, can it be civil? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
You Know Who Posted August 25, 2013 Report Share Posted August 25, 2013 A bit if both. She works at an organic where she mostly looks after the sheep, while I'll mostly be preparing and delivering cheese. But I think we can be civil if we bump into each other.

Venneh Posted August 27, 2013 Report Share Posted August 27, 2013 Just got a six pack of hard cider for free. Not really sure how, but hey, I'll take it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stavros Posted August 30, 2013 Report Share Posted August 30, 2013 After less than two days of work my boss offered me the chance to write a media dictionary aimed at GCSE kids, working from home. Pay is still crap, but it's nice to know that even a low level job yields rewards when done well. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Professor Posted November 12, 2013 Report Share Posted November 12, 2013 Today, my boss, who is the most unintelligent, incompetent man that I have ever had the displeasure of meeting, was fired. Or quit in the middle of his being fired meeting. Regardless, I don't have to deal with him ever again. I do not wish him well on his future endeavors. Best day at work I've had in a long while.

Stavros Posted November 28, 2013 Report Share Posted November 28, 2013 I'm back at my old job again. Lots of travel, long days, misery etc but three major advantages- -I'm freelance, so if I want time off I just take it. -I'm working directly for the largest garage equipment company in Europe, which looks good on the CV. -My freelance fee is double my old fee. I make more in a week than I would have in 6 weeks of unemployment and housing benefit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Venneh Posted December 6, 2013 Report Share Posted December 6, 2013 As of noon today, I am done with my current position, and will be starting a new one on the 16th! I've got a week in between to breathe and reset myself, and in addition, I may be coming back to my current position in an OT capacity to hold down the fort.

Venneh Posted December 11, 2013 Report Share Posted December 11, 2013 And in addition, because of the job change, all of my loans are in forbearance, and that's $200/mo I have freed up to breathe for a bit! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
slothian Posted February 14, 2014 Report Share Posted February 14, 2014 I've just picked up a letter saying I have gained a 6.38% pay rise, effective immediately. Now, in that my existing pay was low to begin with and I'm still a few hunded pounds off of the £15k student loan re-payment gradient, I'm staying grounded about the news. But in that I wasn't expecting any pay review until July and it seems like it was brought about through a national scheme recognising the basic cost of living, it's a pretty welcome boon!

slothian Posted February 23, 2014 Report Share Posted February 23, 2014 In other news, I've been shortlisted to appear in the new series of popular ITV gameshow 'The Chase' (I believe there's US version out there as well). I had an audition on Thursday morning against 4 other people - the other guy progressing was a retired biker called Reg, so obviously they were after a certain type of person - and got the news a bit later on. "Shortlisted" doesn't guarantee me a TV spot and there's still a couple more hoops to jump through, but it's exciting just to get this far!
