You know how walls have ears......well, so do the permanent staff. Staff who seem to run back and forth to the big boss whispering. They sacked one of my colleagues because of all this whispering. Not to her face. They waited until she had a morning off, and got the agency to do their dirty work.</p> <p>There is a procedure for this kind of thing. I have seen it done before. You get a verbal warning (ie a second chance) and if that doesn't work it goes to a written etc etc. But for some reason they thought it best to sneak around.</p> <p>Oh, and they played a silly game with all of our entry passes. Taking them all off us pretending that our IT man had to do something with them. But really they just wanted her's off of her. Just in case she came back. <img src="/img/smilies/grayconfused.gif" alt=":??:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>My decision of an early exit caused a right do to with the manager. I use the word manager loosely as I have never dealt with someone who behaved like a mardy school girl. </p> <p>Anyway, I felt like whatever I said and my movements were being constantly monitored so I thought, fuck this, I don't actually need to be here so away I have gone!! <img src="/img/smilies/graybigrazz.gif" alt=":P" class="middle" border="0"> </p> <p> <small> <a href="http://the-sozzled-mumble.blog.co.uk/2009/11/14/2-glorious-weeks-off-7373151/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:the-sozzled-mumble.blog.co.uk,2009-11-10:/2009/11/10/got-it-7346304/Jembajr2009-11-10T18:51:48+01:002009-11-10T18:51:48+01:00 <p>The manager rang me today and offered me the position. <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Best news being that they don't want me starting until the 30th.

He was as right as rain to go out after that. I had got used to the idea of a cosy night in as <del>because of his man flu</del> I haven't seen him for about 3 days as he has been hibernating under the duvet. </p> <p>So we went. And he was ok.

Although I was probably the youngest there by about 30 years. <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"> We were joined by playwrite Leo Butler who is an award winning writer. Never heard of him but he was so enthusiastic about what he does for a living it started to rub off on me. And I have never considered writing a script before! He talked to us about how he got started and the whole process and at the end of the session he asked us to write a simple scenario, a love story, just for ourselves. We all looked a bit scared and I know I thought I'd never be able to write something but don't you know, I wrote something that I think I can take further. If not as a script but certainly as a short story. <img src="/img/smilies/icon_smile.gif" alt=":)" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Got an interview on Tuesday for audio typing so hopefully I will get something good out of the meeting as the job I am doing now, whilst everyone is great and I am getting on well with them, I just don't know how much longer I can go on with it. I have now gone into bitterness over the whole redundancy thing.

Well, not quite. She was a very nice woman but I didn't realise that the course isn't tutor led i.e. the tutor would be there on hand to ask questions etc etc. She doesn't even stay in the room with you and she never said where her office is!</p> <p>Well, first off the printer was broke and I couldn't find her to come and fix it so I ignored what I needed to print off thinking I could do it at the end when she would most probably be around. Wrong. My 2 hours were up and could I find her anywhere?? Could I feck. I even asked a couple of people in the next office if they had seen her to which they replied, "sorry, never heard of her" <img src="/img/smilies/icon_eek.gif" alt="8|" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>So, I buggered off home and sent her an email saying I couldn't book in my next session because I couldn't find her!! Booked my next session for tomorrow but I am not impressed. I have paid £250 - £250 that I don't really have considering my redundant position - and I'm not getting the service I expect!!!</p> <p>I had my induction for another course I am doing today. And I have to say, for something that is costing me £8 for 3 courses, the whole set up was more professional than the so called pro's above. There are about 6 people on hand IN THE SAME ROOM should I need help. Local college's you see - worth their weight in gold. <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Moan over. <img src="/img/smilies/grayupset.gif" alt=":##" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p> <small> <a href="http://the-sozzled-mumble.blog.co.uk/2009/10/07/here-comes-the-moan-7120895/#comments">Comments</a> </small> </p>tag:the-sozzled-mumble.blog.co.uk,2009-10-06:/2009/10/06/1-who-was-your-first-love-a-pretty-blonde-called-7110028/Jembajr2009-10-06T13:18:26+02:002009-10-06T13:27:39+02:00 <p>1.

That is all I am saying. <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Had a lovely Friday night meeting new people. A girl moved into one of the flats in the next block to us and she sent an open invitation round every flat inviting them over to say hi etc. I was expecting quite a few people to turn up seeing as there are about 150 people who live here. About 8 people turned up, including us. So I was a bit annoyed for her seeing as it was brave of her putting herself out like that. She weren't bothered anyway and was a really nice girl. The fella woke up this morning hungover like a bastard and I laughed at him because I wasn't. <img src="/img/smilies/graylaugh.gif" alt=":))" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>We all said we would meet up again in someone elses flat to do it all again. <img src="/img/smilies/grayyes.gif" alt=":yes:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Proper excited about next week. I have a load of courses to do and I am flying home at the weekend to see Rascal. He's 14 months now and hasn't started walking yet.

I now can't miss my 2:05 - 3:05 installment. (Or 3:05 - 4:05 on plus 1) Lord knows what I am going to do when I eventually find a job. <img src="/img/smilies/grayno.gif" alt=":no:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Chocolate. That's what I need. I was off the choc for a week last week and had a slice of choco cake at my nieces birthday party. I almost started convulsing with pleasure. It were great. High off my cocoa fix I ordered those millionaire shortbread biscuits that I said I'd never buy again as they disappear all too quickly. They lasted Sat night and Sun morning. Which is pretty good for me. I even shared with the fella. 60-40. <img src="/img/smilies/graysmilewinkgrin.gif" alt=";D" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>So, Im back on the "off choc for the week" again. 2 days in plus the depressive silence from potential employers - I may have to re-think this. <img src="/img/smilies/graydead.gif" alt="XX(" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>I am going to have a go at an Audio Transcription course. It's a bit pricey but I like to type so I may as well do it for a living right?

Does entering the This Morning comp count? <img src="/img/smilies/icon_rolleyes.gif" alt=":roll:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Ah, annoying. I am in the waiting stage now hoping that the good jobs that I have applied for will come back with an interview. Getting crap jobs is even harder as a lot of them require a CRB check already in place. How can I get a CRB check if I'm not already in work? Apparently your place of work needs to apply for it for you. Surely these temp people know this?? <img src="/img/smilies/grayconfused.gif" alt=":??:" class="middle" border="0"></p> <p>Started my Photoshop class last night which was really good although we are 4 short. These are people who said they were going to come and then didn't bother to turn up. I hate it when people do that. If you can't be arsed then have the decency to ring. Apparently there were 6 people on the waiting list so hopefully my tutor can pull them onto it otherwise yesterday was my first and last lesson. Hopeless.</p> <p>Anyway, keeping positive and all that!! <img src="/img/smilies/icon_confused.gif" alt=":-/" class="middle" border="0"> Got a play reading on Monday for a play called Players Angels.
