Gobs, go dancing! My friend bailed on salsa dancing with me tonight because she had a cold. (The same one who almost bailed on NYE). So, dance a dance for me!

Hot here, but not feeling 40C, which it supposedly is (at 7:30pm). Had fish and chips, drinking a nice viognier and watching the tennis on TV.

Hey lefters whats the longest time period you have held a job for?
|
|
|
Post by tlefty on Jan 17, 2013 11:41:20 GMT 2
Longest permanent job was 19 months.
I've been at my current temp employer on and off for three and a half years - if you add all the 'on' periods together, about two and a half years.
So not long, really, compared to most people.

you just need a company whilst doing that, annie...a shot of vodka....or some wine sipping or beer anything you feel like to drink and a music in the background may make your clean up a fun activity !
works for me.

I ended up doing neither. I found the power to continue working through the healing power of the Meeting Pot.

Yesterday I spent 5 hours sitting in a room discussing one topic, with a facilitator and 5 other people (one of whom was a scribe, not participating in the discussion)
Today it was 10 working hours with 1 fewer persons.
And tomorrow it's going to be up to 4 more hours of it.
Augh.

You get huge points for endurance, Scrubb. I hope something wonderful comes out of all this discussion.

Morning pot-nerds.
could you provide a translation, tlefty? He's having a meeting so he can take some soldiers to the beach?
Scrubb, that sounds appalling.
I have the day off! Ha!

What i got was: - it's bloody hot - he has an early meeting - he can then go home early and there are no other wok related meetings until next week.

Thanks auntie - was offered role but declined it. Thanks for your thoughts!

What annie said. Congrats, lefty. But I know that is the job you didn't really want.

Post by tlefty on Jan 18, 2013 15:24:56 GMT 2
Indeed. I'm not sure if I am being silly - I declined it mainly because they wanted to me to start on Wednesday, despite me telling them I wanted to give my current temp job plenty of notice. I have too much loyalty to my current employer to leave them in the lurch - they have been very good to me. But I wasn't that enthused about the role, as Pero said. I might have taken it but not with any joy.
