Yeay, i got a job - SV650.org

12-01-07, 03:11 PM

Had an interview today at AP Geotechnics..... and i got the job, offered it to me on the spot.

Only part time, and it's admin based but will start working in the laboratory too and the best part is.... the boss met Lupo and said he'll be more than welcome to come to work with me as he takes his dog Brock.

All i need to do is learn how to drive as i can't see lupo sitting on the back of my motorbike for too long But at least i'll be home for 2pm at the latest for Lupo's lunch and i get to play with him all afternoon

I start Monday!!!

The dogs met each other today, Got a lift there with Rigor and we took lupo along so he could be walked while i was in the interview. they get on fine although Brock is very much on his last legs now.

The company is based on the Brunel Uni campus in Englefield Green. it's in the science suite. they are engineering based, but have a chemistry lab next to my office for soil samples. They Analyse the soil on greenfield and brownfield sites to determine whether they are safe to build on. But looks very interesting :d

Really? That could be right up my street.

Mind you, Analytical Chemistry is one tough business, your always watching your back and paranoidly checking data to make sure its reliable and shows what its meant to show

Congrats!!

From what you are saying you are taking the job to get a 'foot in the door' what to you ultimately want to be doing!?

What do they do there??? "AP Geotechnics" sounds like they might make devices to measure earthquakes or summin!?!?

Why would you want to take your mutt to work? Won't it be a distraction?!!?? I am surprised H&S don't have something to say about that sort of thing too ...

Congrats Sammy

Just one thing though . . .

. . . rather than take Lupo to work with you in the car, why don't you teach him the route, buy that sled (on wheels) you mentioned before & let Lupo take YOU to work thereby gaining a few minutes extra zzzzzz's on the way ?

Congratulations. Drinks on you then?

H & S wouldn't have an issue, he wouldn't be in the lab he would be in my office where he can't get to anything. The job is a stepping stone to get me back into the industry after being out of it for so long.

The company are geological engineering... surveys and stuff making sure buildings can be built there and not on contaminated land etc.

As for Lupo giving me a lift to work... think the 25 odd miles would take our time to do and he really isn't a morning dog lol... besides wont be able to do the distance in the summer poor lad hehehe.
