About that life thing you mention... what is it?

 

[-Danielle-]

Hi guys, sorry I disappeared again.

Did I tell you guys I got a new job? - I'm a Business Analyst now! Was an internal move so because of that, my old team has managed to keep me for 7 weeks, today being my last DESPITE the fact my contracted date was Monday. Joy. They didn't prep for without me, I was still doing 80% of the work, 5.5 weeks in!

I'm going to Budapest and Brussels next week, I cannot wait!

How have we all been? Anything good coming up this weekend or the BH one for you?

Congrats Danni - you need to update your profile now so I don't think Aggrestsuko meets Dilbert (which I really liked by the way).
New job here too but I'm still on the fence as to whether to take it or not yet.
Let us all know how your travels go

A got a call about a job interview today! It's on Tuesday. I'm both very nervous but quite excited.

Congrats on the new job! I hope it works out well for you.

I hope you enjoy your time away, please do share how it goes.

Only real plan i have for the weekend is a judo competition tomorrow, not looking forward to it though, it’s a national comp so there should be some good guys there but I also buggered my new yesterday at training, sat here with it strapped currently!

i’m going to be nosy here so please feel free to tell me to shove off but why are you on the fence? What’s the advantage/disadvantage of taking the new one?

Good luck, what job is it?

Good luck, what job is it?

A Service Desk Administrator. I'm not entirely sure what the job role entails, the description was kind of vague.

Spoiler: Job Description

You’ll play a vital role in maintaining and enhancing the current service that we offer all [REDACTED] brands, You’ll ensure that high quality service is provided and contribute to the overall effectiveness of the service desk. You’ll manage orders effectively and offer the necessary guidance and support for all internal and external customers.

but it sounds kind of like general office work.

What are your tea and coffee making skills like?

 

[serpantino]

I think we need to split the thread off into a separate job one lol.

Congratulations people!

 

[IncendiaryLemon]

What are your tea and coffee making skills like?

Awful!

 

[Adam-M]

Sounds closer to business support to me which could be interesting. Sort of like facilities kind of thing?

Perhaps? I'm not too sure to be honest. Which probably doesn't bode well for me getting it haha. Oh well, I can still try!

 

[Captaaainuniverse]

Congrats on new jobs there!

I'm sure I had something else to put down, but as I'm in work I've forgotten it.
Welcome to the world of work @IncendiaryLemon and @-Danielle- hope you enjoy your new line of work

Here's hoping your lunch break isn't as short as mine

 

[Patient-X]

Awful!

You should be management within six months then

 

[HWR]

I can barely make my own coffee in the morning without spilling it!

Wait... you actually get a lunch break?

 

[HWR]

I sometimes get one if I leave the office for food otherwise I just sit at my desk and eat and continue to work. It’s nice to be able to walk down to Fopp occasionally just to have a browse.

Just aim for the thing under your nose and you'll be ok or...

Just make sure you don't get exhausted there and turning zombified or you may end up eating your desk and trying to do the work on your food.

You mean aim for the chin, right?
