Afternoon Ian! and how would you be?
if you remember, I'm now working on an in-house project instead of contracting out round the county. although it's not an easy project, I've got a cushy life at the moment as i'm working in the same place that I live.
Although I had accepted this role, the paris job came back. I don't want this job as I would rather work from home as I said. My boss doesn't want me to do that job as he want's me to this project. So I thought it would be a simple case of ringing the agency and telling them that I'm no longer available. OH NO,life isn't that simple. So that my company doesn't lose face with the agency my boss told me that i had to go to the interview and bugger it up subtly. So I go off to london today for this interview and it was one of the funniest 50 mins of my life. I get in there 10 mins late to start it off. The lady who is interviewing me said it isn't a problem. I have the first part of the interview which was all about my people skill's, and everything I think of to try to put her off, she replies with that's great how you delt with that situation. so there's me trying not to piss myself with laughter as every attempt I've made so far seem's to be to no avail.
The second part of the interview was a technical test of about 20 question's. I look through them and I know strait away i could get 100% on it. So I bodge allot of the questions and make up some really stupid awnser's. The lady ask's me how hard I found it, and ireplied with it was a but difficult. She say's that's fine as the people who wrote it said it was a bit of a tricky one, even though any semi-reasonable web developer could ace it.
So Hopefully from my awnser's that I gave in that test that it I will be put firmly to the bottom of the list although I did seem to do quite well on something I was trying to bodge up. I was very suprised that i managed to keep a straight face through all that as my mind had fell off his chair and split a few rib's with laughter
It's a tangled web we weave
:D
Sounds like great fun!!!!!!! I'd love to be in that situation.
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!
I've gone blind!
I been at work for 18 hours counting yesterday and today so far, and I still have another 8 or so to go today. My eyes are killing me!
.....(stupid deadlines).....
Nothing better than working under pressure!!!!!
Hang in there Shanea...a three day weekend coming up :-)
just think it will soon be the weekend, although it already is for us over here :D
katie - It was bloody hilaious. Interview's don't bother me any more as it's all part and parcel of my job now. But I started getting very nervous on the train from nerves of Not Being able to bodge it up as i am normally a very honest person. mostly all my mind was comming up of what I should be saying automatically and i had to stopmyself and think of what to say instead. This Is the first time I've gone for an interview for something I don't want, and it felt strange and funny at the same time. :confused:
I think the biggest problem would be to not laugh!
I missed our conversations...Parksie is on vacation..td and paulw have dissappeared into the ether...as has Jethro....then you.
Very nice to visit again............besides I'm quite outnumbered by the clan of the bad moods or whatever!
No, I don't get a three day weekend. I'm not going to have a weekend at all. I'm going to have to work at least another 8 hours this weekend, and I am not taking Monday off. They start testing on Monday, and I really need to be here. 10 more weeks, and it's wedding time. Then, I will get my vaction time in.
if I wa a sad person, I would grumble about not having net access at work, but as I'm a happy person, I won't.
as I said, I will try to be around as much as I can during weekday evevning's, But juggling the gym and my friend's, it isn't leaving me much spare time.
Well just so you know that you are missed!
Bummer about this weekend, Shanea :-(
Where did you finally decide for the honeymoon?
your too kind Katie :D
So honeybee keeps saying :rolleyes:
We decided not to go for a while. Mike doesn't get vacation from his new job until November, and we can't go without a week of his pay. We may just go to the Twin Cities for the weekend. We have decided that the money we get from the wedding is going to pay for hospital bills occured when we have baby #2, (which is our next project this fall). We will probably go after baby #2 is a couple years old.
now, now. we are all civilised human being's :(
Oh sod it, He get's on my tit's as well :D
No maternity insurance where you work...........that sucks.
I hope he doesn't take this offensively, but everytime I hear 'Honeybee'...I think that person is a girl. I must have some correlation stuck in my mind.
Sorry...

I imagine it's a little more painful for you than me.....my were designed for that sort of thing ;-)
Well, there's 80% them and 20% us for insurance. I will have enough vacation built up next year where I can take 6 - 8 weeks at full pay, but we are planning ahead for any complications, like I had with my first pregnancy.

I am leaving this building for a while. I won't be gone too long though. I just need to get some fresh air and see some different scenery. Talk at ya in a bit.

When is Parksie getting back from his trip?
It's pretty dull around here without him.
I think he gets back wednesday or thursday...
He said his trip was for five days....and he left yesterday. I think that means that next week we'll have the pleasure of his company once again!
Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh. A "school week".. I thought he meant an entire week.
Next week we only have a four day week!!!!!!!!!!
Yeah! Hoorah! Yipee! TeeHee!
What are you planning to do on your extra weekend-day??
I just want to sleep, sleep, and sleep some more.
I don't really have anything planned...sometimes those turn out to be the best days off though!
I am looking forward to sleeping in a little....other than that..I'll just see what unfolds!
Oh, put a sock in it... (Sarcasm because I don't get a day off until next Friday.)
Just kidding. I don't mean that you guys are dull. But have you seen how boring all of the threads have been in the last couple of days? I was barely in here yesterday, and nothing has changed.
Yeah... it has been pretty boring around here lately.. :o
You're right! I was just yanking your chain a little! I do miss all the guys. It has been quiet lately. It usually is a little quieter on Fridays anyway since the time changes are so drastic.
I do feel badly that you don't get the long weekend. Just try to hand in there!
Hand in where?Quote:
