    People assume they've got food poisoning if they have a runny shit within 24 hours of eating. The reality is much more severe.

    We are currently in the interview process for three positions. Looking at all these people's resumes, I have no idea how they ever hired me.

    Ive been sat in interviews for the last week which seem completely pointless as not once have I been asked for feedback.

    Had a 2 hour workshop yesterday at work about basically "how we should be doing our job".

    Everyone in the company is going through it.

    What a colossal waste of time and effort.

    Things like that are total shite and forcing people to do them is usually an example of management getting bored and needing to justify their existence.

    All of them have been rejected. That was well worth the 5 hours I spent this week.

    That's just a normal salary over here. A half decent one bed flat will set you back 1.5k if you find a good deal.

    Oh right. They do typically pay about 20% higher in my experience, and with good reason.

    My year end review was pretty positive and my rating reflects that "exceeds". Which means, despite being an idiot, the company does actual rate me reasonably highly even after the brutal cut backs we've seen over the years.

    I've spotted a job online that would be perfect for my pal and subsequently found out that it's basically for the team I work in. Is that a bad idea? Anyone worked with an outside of work friend?

    Off the phones for a month. Good riddance to a long week, although today was pretty sound. Got a couple of nods from claimants for me being so understanding and such. I imagine this is how Mike feels everyday.

    My worst nightmare about to become a reality. A French customer is coming to visit who speaks no English and the boss has asked me to come to lunch with them and simultaneously translate.

    I'll be like that goon who stands next to Bielsa.

    That sort of tedium pays so much. I could probably make the equivalent to my yearly salary transcribing and subtitling audio/video interviews in about 3 months but I'm not sure I could take it.

    We're being asked to sign up to illegal (and very pointless) trading terms by one of our idiot customers. Fun times, I might refuse to do it and see what they say.

    There is a Head of History job going at a school local to me that I'm considering applying for. I thought the school had a pretty good rep but the last Ofsted was fairly damning and a friend of mine knows the former Head of History and described as a 'horrible' school + the history classrooms are/were 'portacabins', which has dented my enthusiasm a bit. Might still go have a look around and see if for myself.

    If it's anything like Intel here, be prepared to receive 1,600 new Chinese/Indian engineers.

    There's always a few Indians but the workforce here is mainly Irish and ex NEC Scots.

    The worst thing about dealing with immigrants--pretend Lewis or someone else wrote this, not me--is that it takes so much more effort to interact with them because you have to navigate cultural and language barriers, and people are fundamentally lazy.

    People in general or those people? I find it's not a question of laziness but more (at least when dealing with them over the phone), I don't want them to agree to something they don't comprehend.

    Had someone resign today, only 5 months after taking the job. Annoying but understandable. They're a proper introvert and moved here for the job, so they just spend their evenings sat bored, alone. They're moving back home.
