shmook Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Ever ###### someone off so bad, you wonder how bad the retaliation is goiing to be? Did you double post when tink was on duty and lurking in the halls? Link to post Share on other sites
Mike_West Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 So I got back to work to tie up a couple of loose ends before my medical leave. Turned out, someone set me up the bomb. I had to chase down two people who failed to submit proper documentation, and only one of them successfully. The other one? Well, he needs to consult the committee chairman, who unsurprisingly took the entire week off. Also, Brussels doubts we can avoid conflict of interest in our procedures, so I had to lay out the obvious things to them (basically, the procedure requires collective effort, verifiable reviews including numerical ratings with several criteria and multi-stage approval that makes it harder to pull off any shady *suitcase*). *fruitcage* it, I took a day off tomorrow. Enough that I slept for three hours or so thanks to Anno 2070 and woke up to rain that kept pissing since midnight. Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 I'm on a train to London. Then I'm getting a train to Paris. I don't want to go to *fruitcage* Paris, man. Link to post Share on other sites
Hedganian Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Then why are you going? Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Gf's best mate lives there. Last time she came over there was lots of "why didn't you come over too? You should come next time." A weekend in Paris under duress makes for a quieter life long term. Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Paris is worse. So smelly. Plus, all the French people Link to post Share on other sites

hitmanNo2 Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 One thing Paris does have going for it is the availability of fireworks and bangers whilst on school trips heh. Or used to at least. It's been a while. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Switchblades too. Apparently, it's tasers and pepper spray now... Link to post Share on other sites
scorch Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Made it St Pancras. I hate the attitude people have here. The next person to kick my bag because they're walking along very fast while staring into their phone is gonna find themselves without a phone anymore cause I'm gonna spike the damn thing off the platform.

Mike_West Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Paris is worse. So smelly. Plus, all the French people I'm amused by those "so ugly", "so smelly" remarks. I was in Brussels a couple of times, and people say it's the ugliest capital of Europe. I wouldn't say that, but hey, what do I know, I'm from Warsaw. I kinda felt at home there. Also, JFC, it's raining again, an hour after I got home sweating like a pig all the way on the bus. Link to post Share on other sites
Tw1tch Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Struggling to keep the figures in my head for my interview tomorrow, never been my strong point. Took me years to learn my home phone number for example. Link to post Share on other sites
shmook Posted May 4, 2017 Report Share Posted May 4, 2017 Struggling to keep the figures in my head for my interview tomorrow, never been my strong point. Took me years to learn my home phone number for example. When there, if you don't know, say so. Don't try and bluff through, be truthful. It's not like you'll ever have to remember stuff like that in the job, they will always be to hand. Good luck Link to post Share on other sites

Tinkerton Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Need rear brake callipers on both mine and mrs tinks daily drivers, plus cv boots and track rod ends on mine and wishbone bushes on hers, and I think either one or both of them need a spring as well. *fruitcage*.

Tw1tch Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Thanks guys, apparently it was a good interview. Just need the AM to talk through some things with my Pub Manager before a decision is made. Only thing is I'm put of the pub for a week as of Sunday night so won't get to open the letter so hopefully my PM or AM let me know or it's gonna be a tough week hah. Time to hurry up and wait.

Lone_Bullet Posted May 5, 2017 Report Share Posted May 5, 2017 Why ofcourse . Just a hassle when you're on a tight schedule'd trip / vacation. I even hope it's a second smaller leak so I don't have to question their work. I know errors happen, I just don't like personal confrontation. 95% chairsofter, you see?
