You know, if you didn't piss around on here through the day so much
you might actually get finished work by, oh, 6pm?

Alright Doze?
Been to see a recruitment agency today and formally register on their books. It took fucking ages.

I don't like agencies
In the past I've been sent to interviews for jobs I'm totally unsuitable for.

Commission-led nobbers.

With five weeks left on my contract I'm open to anything.
These seem pretty on the ball as well.

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 30 May 2013, 21:38, Reply)

This was Core People, but I need to register with Reed as well
as they fill vacancies with my last but one employer and it'd be nice to get a foot in the door again.

May I ask what type of work you are looking for?

( hartley hare Just some prick who thinks it doesn't apply to him, Thu 30 May 2013, 21:41, Reply)

I've worked in grants and economic development since 2001.
Something in that line would be excellent, but at the moment I'm not too fussy. Can't afford to be.

Hey Davro I saw a pic of you today
For some reason I thought you was older

How old do you think I am, like?

46

(dozers, do fuck off ur a nob m8, Thu 30 May 2013, 21:32, Reply)

Close. 42.
Although as recently as a couple of years ago someone thought I was in my late 20's. Which was nice.

And if you pulled your socks up and made efficient use of the working day, you might even be able to finish at the time it says on your contract.
Crazy stuff, I know.

ha, my contract simply says "such times and such hours as the firm thinks fit"
i started at 8am today, and apart from a few mins posting on here, haven't stopped once. you've got to take some sort of a break.

i'm not complaining like, it's interesting work, they pay me bloody well, and i like my colleagues. but it has been a sucky week.

Did you have to spend years and years working for free before they started paying you?

No, solicitors get well paid as trainees.

It wouldn't have done much for the quality of your work either.
Sounds a bit counter-productive to me.
( The Mock TurtIe ™ --- Thinks you are a cunt, on, Thu 30 May 2013, 22:38, Reply)

agreed
i was a shadow by the end of it. but it's a rite of passage, and trainees working those hours are generally drafting for someone else to check/approve, ie very little actually goes out.

unless it's 5am, you're utterly fucked, and you inadvertently send a confidential document to someone who isn't your supervising colleague by mistake of course...
( rachelswipe with a fork, Thu 30 May 2013, 22:39, Reply)

Fucking hell that must have been a barrel of laughs.
There's only 168 hours in a week, which leaves around 6.85 hours per day of free time, including sleep.

Even if you work 12-hour shifts, the vast majority of places will give you several consecutive days off in any working "week".
Unless you're a security guard, that is.
