    I had intended to take the month off but some half-hearted searching has led to an informal interview on Friday for a place right on my door step. It's so easy to find work as a chef though so I'll take it with a pinch of salt. I'm always confident when I get the interviews, the gift of the gab ensures I get it nine times out of ten.

    If I do then I might try stay in NW for the first time in many years. It's time to stamp down some roots, I feel.

    No news on MJ?

    Not happy with the level of interest when you told us all of that this morning?

    If your TV has taught me anything, sixth form is basically just one long day off.

    Our sixth form is more akin to a gulag. You've got to work pretty hard to bunk off.

    There's too many good ones in that list and a few pisstakes. EDIT: It's mostly pisstakes. Someone had a fun night on that edit.

    Had my annual review and a 2% payrise (it sounds like everyone is receiving the same). Given they gave me only positive feedback in the review, the 17+3 holiday allowance, the fact I do significant legwork for them and that I now have a mortgage, I think that is no good and I need to be doing better. I shall cast the net out in the new year.

    Do you enjoy the job? If so, give them chance to increase their offer before you hand your notice in.

    If I actually receive a job offer elsewhere at a higher salary I'll give them the chance to better it. But in the context of the annual review, resistance is futile. They gave me a good hike last year but in hindsight I think that was because someone had just left and they didn't want to risk losing me as well.

    The sales director is a good boss and knows my value, but in the review it's all about the 80 year old Israeli patriarch chairman, and the sales director just sits there like Smithers.

    I was informed today that I got the job I went to on Friday. I didn't have to do a great deal other than a little bit of prep and answer a few questions.

    The only downside if you can call it that is they don't need me over the festive period but I start on January 2nd. I'll use the next couple of weeks to relax then get back on it for the start of 2020. It probably couldn't have worked out much better and I'm pleased I get to stay in and around my hometown for the first time in a few years.

    Happy Smiff.

    I'm pretty sure I'm going to be promoted this year so upping the corporate title. Not sure what it means on the pay side but hopefully something reasonable considering I had a freeze last year.

    I'm going to bring the tone down by informing you I spent the morning next to a massively hungover alcoholic. She had a carrier bag ready in case she needed to be sick into it. She felt the need to tell me that.

    Functioning but not productive. I barely saw her for the first hour. And when she did turn up, all I got was the whiff of sick.

    2% is actually a pay decrease. It's below inflation.

    I've been offered a job in Amsterdam, so it looks like I'll be moving there next year. Still got the financial stuff to sort out and relocation logistics, but I reckon I'm about 75% good to go. It's a lovely city and culturally loads going on. Pretty excited although it doesn't quite seem real yet.

    Unsuccessfully interviewed for a promotion the other day.

    To be honest I'm desperate to gtfo of here, but thought better to earn a bit more while I looked and figured it would look better on the CV if I'd managed to get beyond being a cashier in 4 years. Ah well. The job itself sounded pretty gash (expected to work ALL Saturdays, and the potential line manager is notorious for being SALES SALES SALES), and I suppose this means I'll be more motivated to actually find something else. Shame I still haven't got much of an idea what I want to do.

    I'm on about 18.5, and now I actually have to pay rent, it isn't great. Even an entry level admin bitch job would probably be better.

    The same way they get away with closing branches down because 'they cost too much'.

    £18,5 is madness.

    Retail banking isn't that profitable (compared to wealth management or investment Banking) and usually has lower entry points.

    And they're never short of takers, assuming they haven't automated or booted those jobs offshore. For reference, my back office jobs have been £10k (full time, 2009) and £16k (2014). That money goes further in the North-East, mind. I'd imagine branch and customer services land on less.

    I started off on £16k in my first admin job, then £18k, Now £30k (plus expenses). I thought I'd be loaded when I took it but it barely makes ends meet really.
