The General Conversation Area

Thank you! :)

I've been where I am for a little over 7 years now and I've been given no chance for progression at all. For the last 2 years they no longer let existing people apply for senior roles so us long timers are all miffed. Especially when we basically do the job of our seniors without their pay and get told it's because we're supposed to "be a pillar to them". Yeah, because they can't hold themsevles up!!!! Aaaaaah :p haha. That latter job place, about 5 including me have applied there haha.

Yeah please do report back about almost famous. I think I'm more excited about their constant burgers that their guest ones as they seem to overdo it. We've got an italian franchise called Salvi's moving nearer to work and expanding in size so I can't wait for that. Everyone rates them well saying it's like the closest food to italy they can find. We also have a new thai place open thats added onto my to eat list lololol.
 
3) And Byron said, Let there be courgette fries: and there were courgette fries

4) And Byron saw the courgette fries, that they were good: and Byron diuided the courgette fries from the potato.


A trifle salty though. And the burgers themselves, though adequately flavoursome, were diminished in their succulence by several seconds' overexposure to flame.
 
I only use Paypal on the rare occasions I shop with MVM now, but that experience did convince me to only use my credit card when buying online - like with UP1. Doesn't seem to be anything suspicious on my list of recent transactions at the moment.
 
Using your credit card to buy things online is safer

If the crims do manage to get hold of the details, it's not your money they are stealing (unlike if they get your debit card details and the money goes out of your bank), you have a couple weeks window before you have to pay for the stuff to query if anything is a bit odd
 
Byrons courgette fries are AMAZING! I agree with the saltyness though but that's the allure hehe. So many places have started doing their own though, surprisingly enough, Bella Italia's are nice. Will be trying Jamie's Italian Courgette Fritti on Sat so we'll see if the trend continues lol.

Has anyone seen the new Ronaldo guest burger at Byrons? I can't wait to try it! It might rival my triple cheesemas! I always love when they do two patties. Feels like you're stealing from them compared to when its one patty and it feels like a rip off :p hehe.

The interview was yesterday and I find out tomorrow. I won't be too gutted if I don't get it. I've never been a senior and they might not want to wait for me to become one there. Who knows.

I've emailed the other place asking for more money if i pass the last interview stage. I'd be getting 3k less than where I am (benefits are larger here) so I asked for more wage so that plus their benefits would equal here. If that makes sense :p they'll probably tell me to do one but I'm not going to work somewhere for less money lol.

You were interviewed about a novelty hamburger?
 
Went to Bournemouth yesterday with some friends and had a good time. Went to Sprinkles Gelato and had a yummy sundae...

...oh yum yum. Also went to the Oceanarium...the otters were very cute.

Plus today i just bought a PS4...got it for £319 brand new from shopto.net outlet store on ebay.
 
Today's lesson, boys and girls, relates to blue cheese and why it shouldn't be left in one's office drawer over a long weekend.
 
Hahaha no my interview wasn't about that, it was for a job :p

One I didnt get as they chose an already internal person instead. They said it was a really hard choice that took them all day to make which is why I heard from them so late. I feel nice to be second place tbh. I'm now applying for said internal persons old role. Maybe I wasnt meant to be a senior just yet seeing as I've had nothing but sh*t working above my role for no pay for like 6 out of 7 years I've been here so maybe I'm destined for a rest ;) haha.

I'm going to Salvi's tonight! So excited. everyone reviews it as like the best mozerella and food outside of italy. Mmmmmmm.
 
I've been waiting for the mark I got for my Maths exam for weeks and while investigating on the student records I realised that my overall marks were now available. I'm actually happy that I passed the modules (3 of them are 1st including Maths [88%]) and just managed an overall 74% for my first year. Of course the marks don't count for the final result but it's a great start to the degree.

I know at some point for one of my future Maths assignments I have to make a 3D Helicopter turn around on Excel. Oh boy.
 
Well done! :)

My hay fever is a beast :( I keep blowing my nose loads and its like irritating my septum so its starting to swell :(

Will anyone be watching Wimbledon? I'm not usually arsed with all the first sets of games and stuff but I might give it a watch if any of the male players I like are playing since I'm after a lazy weekend :)
