At long last!
I am your queen!

what, with the rise to power despite not actually being elected or anything.. I thought it was rather fitting.

I for one welcome our new leader... no I don't.

In other news - I'm free! Officially unemployed and sooo much happier :D *bounces*

Thanks mate :)
Been put forward today for a job paying £30k which would be rather nice...

*claps*
what did they say when you told them off?
( Captain Wow currently being a cunt in Infamous, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:12, archived)

They said "sorry you've made the decision... now about your kit..."
Bastards.
On the other hand the SBS employee (i.e. not Xansa) said privately that she wished I was staying but she perfectly understood why I was going.
Also my co-worker is going to spam the office with the news that I've left and explain the circumstances - and then announce that he, the only member of IT support in Bristol, will also be looking for jobs soon :D

Is this the Xansa
that are taking over BBC finance/ accounting from July?

Yup.
They're a virus.

I'm suspicious of any company
that quotes millions below anyone else for a contract. I reckon you're better off out of there.
( Stilton Cheesewright, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:20, archived)

I agree.
Seriously, not worth bothering - any large contractor inevitably treats staff like shit.
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:23, archived)

FANTASTIC!

Hurray!

How'd you do it?
( Trellyclaus is returning to fuhldom, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:09, archived)

Meeting, walked in, said "I'm going to make this easy for you"
and then told them to read my letter of resignation.
Then proceeded to blitz them with all the things that caused me to quit.

Their faces were rather a picture ;)
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:11, archived)

Oh, to have been a fly on the wall...
Well done mate, have a celebratory drink or ten!

I plan to ;)
DJing this weekend should be fun.

you'll be fine
trust me, i've been unemployable for years.
( god save the queen hardly ever original, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:10, archived)

I hope I will be.
When you say 'unemployable for years' what exactly d'you mean...?
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:12, archived)

exactly that.
i earn a crust doing mostly this and that and sometimes other stuff too.
i jumped ship before i was pushed about 12 years ago, went to uni became a certificated artist and have been skint ever since, but self employment is the only way for me.
( god save the queen hardly ever original, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:16, archived)

Right, gotcha :)
I am tempted to set up shop as a freelance IT specialist but I just don't have the motivation - plus there's a huge amount of competition out there :/
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:17, archived)

i'm fortunate that i only have me to worry about.i'd have to get a proper job if i had any commitments.
i'm sure you'll be fine, jumping was, from what you've said, the only real option you had, the bastards would have got you in the end.
( god save the queen hardly ever original, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:22, archived)

Yeah, I do kind of have commitments...
On the other hand I seem to be very employable, so fingers crossed :)
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:24, archived)

hooray!
good luck n all, I'm T-23 hours to redundancy :D

Or quitting ;)

Good luck to you too!

wanna be my assistant?
you'd have to reinstall client PCs all day for minimum wage ;)

nah, I really hope you'll find something better soon :)

Well as said above, I could be working somewhere which would pay me £10k over my current salary ;) That'd be nice...
( wastedindustry hates writing CVs, Thu 28 Jun 2007, 15:18, archived)
