Decisions, decisions
I just got a call from human resources from that company in Madrid. They're offering me the job, good salary, good conditions and really very interesting job.

It's to work in Madrid, which is good. But they don't know about Mark yet. They might want him to work in Chile. I've told them, I'm ok to go to Chile, I'm ok to go anywhere as long as we can go together. They're going to think about it.

At least they'll be paying for that English exam themselves (£90), so that's good.

I think very soon I'm going to have to make a big decision. London or Madrid? It'd be the second time I've said no to this Spanish company, and that's not good.

Mmmmm... when did you have to make a difficult decision last time?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 23 Nov 2010, 10:39, 130 replies, latest was 15 years ago)

Heh. Last week, as it happens...
Wait and see what they say: you've stipulated your conditions for taking the job. Presumably if they agree and say you and Mark can work together you'd prefer that job over the London one?
(berk, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 10:43, Reply)

Yes. It's a lot more exciting
and with big responsabilities. And if we don't do something like going to Chile now, we'll never do it. There'll always be time to go back to London.

Even if they offered the job to Mark in Madrid, I'd go for Madrid too. Salary and conditions are very good and I'll love a bit of sunshine and Spanish style life for a bit :)

So, do you think you made the right decision, now that things have cooled down a little?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 23 Nov 2010, 10:47, Reply)

Well then, it's not such a big decision
if you know you'll take the job if they offer it on terms you're willing to accept (ie, Mark can come too) so don't stress yourself out! :)
To be honest, I'm still not sure I've made the right decision. But it's made now, so... *shrugs*
(berk, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 10:52, Reply)

Yes, you're right
The jobs they offer my in Madrid and London are very different, and choosing one or another will define my future career. The one in Madrid is moving towards management; the one in London towards creativity. I'd prefer the creativity one, but I think I'll do ok with the management if I get sunshine.

Are you keeping in touch? Do you know how he's doing?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 23 Nov 2010, 10:56, Reply)

Well, in every career
management is something you will probably eventually have to do, and if you have to do it earlier rather than later, but in a place like Chile, well... I think I'd cope with it!
I spoke to him on the phone last night - he sounded like crap and I felt terrible. We are going to see Harry Potter tomorrow though, so I guess we'll see how it goes.
(berk, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 11:05, Reply)

Good luck!
I hope he doesn't get too clingy, but if you think you feel something for him when you see him again, would you consider going back, or was it too bad when you were together?
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 23 Nov 2010, 11:12, Reply)

Mmm, I don't know
See, I love him, he's a lovely bloke...but I'm not *in* love with him. That didn't change in the 2-3 months before we broke up, so why would it change if we got back together? I don't know. I'll just have to wait and see how I feel.

Seriously though, it will be great to live back home and Mark's Spanish will improve fantastically.
( girlinthehole, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 10:50, Reply)

Exactly
He's spent 3 years (or more) proudly explaining and showing me every bit of British customs, traditions and ways of life. I'd love to do the same with him, and show him why I get so depressed here in winter and why I miss so much having some social life after work during the week.
(Aberracion Life's getting very complicated, but a lot of fun., Tue 23 Nov 2010, 10:52, Reply)

Maybe I misunderstood
But weren't you saying last week that the working conditions and employment laws in Spain were pretty lousy compared to the UK? Or is Madrid better than the rest of the country for that?

Chile would be cool though - I was partly duped into taking this PhD on the promise of fieldwork in Chile which never happened.
(LongJohnBaldry, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 10:51, Reply)

They are
The conditions won't be as good as the ones in London, but still really good for Spain. This is a multinational company hiring people from all over the world, so they need to offer good working conditions. They expect me to do quite a lot more than 80h overtime per year (that's the maximum allowed by Spanish laws), so they won't be able to "pay" for them. However, you get a bonus cheque at the end of the job, for doing the extra mile.

I'd rather go to Chile, though. It'll be probably the last adventure before maternity and family life take over.

I have to work out whether or not to kill my brother
The Estate Agents have phoned my old Landlord, and he's basically told them I destroyed the property. Now, I'd warned them in advance about my problems with him, so they're being understanding. However, they've asked me to get a guarantor, just as backup. So, while I've passed the credit check, they still need someone there, just as a signature.

I asked my brother on saturday, explaining I won't need him at all, I simply need him there as a backup, he said he'd have a think, chat to his wife, and let me know. He still hasn't come back to me, despite a reminder yesterday. Unless I can get the completed form, and copies of ID, 3 pay slips and a bank statement back to them tomorrow, they might release the house, and I know this place is in demand.

Now, I know my brother won't be able to get them to me tomorrow, so should I kill him?
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 11:06, Reply)

I can't see how that would get you the property.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 11:37, Reply)

Did you actually destroy the property?
Because if you didn't, then I'm fairly sure you can do something about that - maybe ask rswipe?
Asking for a guarantor is pretty normal - I've been asked for a couple of the flats I've had and I've only ever had good references from previous landlords. Can't you ask the estate agent to give you another day? And didn't you say you wanted to stay at home anyway until you got money and shit sorted?
(berk, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 11:11, Reply)

It's only due to him saying the previous property was damaged
And nope, I left it in fairly good condition. Not magnificent, I was expecting him to take some money off me for repairs, but he's being a right prick with it. (£40 to clean curtains, etc)

Aye, that was the plan, but a talk with my Dad made me clearer on a few things that I was fussing over, I'm able to move out again, just means being a little careful for the next month. Also, this property came up earlier than expected.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 11:13, Reply)

Well then he shouldn't be giving you such a shit awful reference
have a word with rswipe re: your rights. And I'm sure if you ask the estate agent nicely they'll give you another day. Why can't your dad be guarantor given that you're currently living with him?
(berk, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 11:17, Reply)

He's retired now, so has no income to show
And my stepmum is now reducing her hours, so she can't really be used either. Plus, she refuses to do it again, after last time they were phoning her colleagues in her office, asking about her personality, etc. Stupidly in depth.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 11:35, Reply)

Hate to say this
but of course it's in-depth. Full credit check, references, the works. After all, they are now the ones responsible for paying the rent, not you. That's the point of a guarantor. It's not just to tell them that you are a pleasant chap.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:08, Reply)

Aye, the only reason she got annoyed is because they were contacting those she listed as reference, and then others she hadn't listed.

( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:09, Reply)

that is a little odd, I agree.

( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:14, Reply)

It's not that you won't need him at all, though.
he's legally responsible for the rent, damage to the property, everything. I don't know how close you are, but it's a major responsibility to be a property guarantor. I'm not surprised he's thinking about it. I did it for an old girlfriend and it's not something to do lightly.
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:06, Reply)

It's the fact I've passed the credit check that irritates me
This is only required because of the bad reference. He knows this, and knows he can trust me, yet is dragging his feet.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:10, Reply)

yeah ... but it's not though, is it?
Even if they don't need it, as guarantor he's still responsible for the rent. I'm not sure there's such a thing as a "half-guarantor" I'm sure he can trust you, but it's a major responsibility. If you got hit by a car tomorrow he's still probably got to cough up 12 months rent, for instance. He'd be a bit of a arse if he didn't at least discuss it with his wife, and maybe she's not keen?
( the mighty badger Aphrodite, on a bar stool, by your side, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:14, Reply)

And if that was the case, I'd accept and move on
But it's the fact I've heard nothing from him since Saturday lunchtime, when I told him I needed to know asap.
( Agnostic Antichrist Baltimora, Tue 23 Nov 2010, 12:16, Reply)

that is quite a long discussion.
maybe he's bottling saying no, in which case I think a light slap from you would probably be justified.

it's every 3 mins and it's exactly like this and then she and all her 13 year old mates start arguing and my inbox gets filled up with 137 notifications a minute!

I've kept the one friend who does that
as he's almost 20 and it's hilarious.

Ha, my cousin is about eleven and does the same.
He doesn't stop writing on my wall, one post was genuinely "Hello, type in funny video on Youtube and watch the video its good". I think it's funny really.

the worst was when my cousin did a quiz
and asked whether people thought i was hot as one of the questions.

a load of spotty 13 year old yorkshire emo's judging you is not good for the ego!

Were most of the answers not simply "hurr, tits?"

I set up my 13 year old son on FB at the weekend
He now has 75 friends, the likeable little shite.

A "friend" actually said to me in the pub once
"What you don't get is that no-one else FEELS things with the same intensity I do."

Then he was sick on my shoes. Cunt.

At the risk of seeming a mong, what does it mean, and what's the origin?

It means you're self-obsessed. One of the finer /talk memes.

Ah, thanks
