It is always reassuring to know that my dearest colleague has a much better work ethic than I do!
Read All About It
I returned to the office this morning after a few days off (two and a half days to be exact). With so much to catch up on, I thought little that my learned colleague would bother with a prank (although his previous track record would indicate the exact opposite) As I turned into my cubicle, […]
Back In The Office
I returned to the office early today. Well extra early, I usually arrive before 8am, but was here thirty minutes early, after a week off. As I made my way up the stairs (I never use the lift, what is the point to go up or down one floor) I thought to myself what kind […]
The Eco Warrior
I arrived to find a note blu-tacked to my computer monitor. I dual screen in the office, using my laptop screen for admin and my 24″ HP screen (or visual display or monitor) to view spreadsheets. It is a mighty beast, set to the maximum resolution and enables me to view columns A to AD! […]
By The Skin Of My Teeth
As you may or may not already know, I like to take risks. Taking risks with my journey to and from work, is perhaps not something I would wholeheartedly recommend. I decided to catch the train for several reasons, even though I know I could have worked from home. Although, that would have looked rather […]
A Blue Chip Employer
Good things come to those who wait? Does that mean I was just getting impatient? Today was the start of a new chapter in my life and I was looking forward to one thing only, the return to normality, the sense of a routine. Something I have always craved. It felt rather strange to be […]
The Comeback
Even if you consider my job as a local supermarket as just a temporary blip on my resume, my unemployment period has been short (considering the current economical climate). It was 108 days from the 9th October (my last day at my previous full time employer) to the start date with my new employer (which […]
News You Least Expect
The problem with job hunting in the current age and perhaps more so in the current financial climate is that you rarely get feedback. Most jobs listed on various job sites clearly state that if you do not hear back from the ABC Recruitment agency within three days you have been unsuccessful. It is a […]
Supermarket Sweep
It took nine weeks, but I was officially back in employment this morning at 9am. (Full stats over on Twitter) No the ideal workplace but it was a job and in the current climate I am happy to be earning something. At 9am, I was assigned to a till to shadow a checkout girl. Within […]
Friday 4th December 2009
Under normal circumstances I would not have taken the call during Eastenders. It is my one show that has a blanket ban on telephone conversations, I refuse to answer both my mobile or landline. The reason I did, was because I had been expecting a call from an agent, Sam but his e-mail on Monday […]
