I've got tennis tonight
with potential perving-on-hot-instructor opportunities, and also it's fucking PAYDAY on friday. Jesus, it cannot fucking come soon enough.

arse, mine too
I do get to see what insignificant difference by payrise has made though.

I got 1%
It works out to something stupid like £4.50 a month after tax.
(berk, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:22, Reply)

I think I got about 2.3%
it's not much, but it pushes me over a significant round number, so psychologically at least it was worthwhile.

Haven't been told if we're having one yet
Ours tie in with the financial year.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:25, Reply)

Ours is negotiated in September
but the uni has been arguing with the union since then because they asked for 8%. Which the university rightfully laughed girthily at and said, uh, no, how does zero percent sound, you pisstaking bastards?

we got told we'd get one if we did well in our competancy reviews
then the last years losses were announced. Surprised to still get one to be honest!

Our company's doing well, so I'm kinda expecting one
Especially as the MD bought another 100+ grand car.

nice
we got our arses kicked. probably only get worse too. stupid situation where most of our work is for government clients, so cuts are going to hit us too.

Cuts are hitting us for sure
But the work still has to be done.
( Labia Majora You keep on talking but it makes no sense at all, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:39, Reply)

that's what I'm hoping for us too
trouble is, while I'm on secondment I'm basically supposed to be teaching my main client to do my job.

This does not seem wise to me. I'm just hoping that they will realise that it's too hard for them, and they don't have enough time to dedicate to it with all their other tasks.

Unlucky
but you're still going out and I shall be sat at home sorrowfully folding slices of pizza in to my mouth one after the other til I explode, so I can't feel too sorry for you.

I won't be drinking though, as I'm driving 4 other people
We'll see if this night is shit, I don't hold high hopes for it.

Is it the one at the O2 academy
or the one at Subside?
(berk, Wed 26 Jan 2011, 15:27, Reply)

Neither
It's at Eddie's, called Club Tron (yeah, I know).

Haha, I saw Rachel Stamp there
it's, uh. Hmm. If it's the same place I'm thinking of it's like an old man pub inside, with sticky carpets and dancefloor.

Sounds par for the course then

Pretty much
it's better than the goth club I used to go to at uni, which was like a sweaty, sticky cupboard. Vodka + mixer was £1 though, so we coped with it somehow...

like a club here
(since shut down) which in first year was called Filth and lived up to it's name
