Idle Banter For non SV and non bike related chat (and the odd bit of humour - but if any post isn't suitable it'll get deleted real quick). There's also a "U" rating so please respect this. Newbies can also say "hello" here too. |

Nice. I got a bit lucky too.
Emm, BTW, if there is any chance of buy outs etc, you should be dropping hints all over the shop about having company shares as part of your package. I have seen a number of my mates doing exactly this, and, no messing, flogging them 2 years later and putting a deposit on a house. Just something to keep in mind mate. |

Shares have been talked about but that definitely won't happen for a year or two. Basically, I have to prove myself worth it.

One thing I would say, is dont make your job your life. Take lunch brakes. Leave no later than 6 unless its an emergancy. I find, limiting how much I care about my job, actually helps me be better. Strangely enough. And, dont just expect to always be as good as, or better than everyone. I used to get annoyed with myself for being so stupid when I make mistakes, and forget that the person correcting me has a PhD from Cornel, a post doc in Harvard, and has been in the genetics business for longer than I have been in school. Take it on the chin, work neat, go about your business quietly. |

I'm pretty lucky in this area as well. I already work harder than previous people they've had. I already have more successful site visits under my belt than all of the previous people put together and apparently I'm a much better coder.
All in all, a pretty good situation to be in. I'm a fairly lazy person, but it's nice when the people you have to live up to are even worse. As for sustainable working hours, it's already been discussed and comes out nicely for all. I can have flexible hours as and when I need them as well as time spent away from home in hotels counts as working hours. |

I've managed to avoid roadsigns so far, but you never know.

Instead of metal why not put a bone through you nose or one of those amazonian saucers inside your bottom lip?That would give the guvnor something to warn the customers about.
Congrats on the job BTW.

I spent my placement there. It’s the most depressing place in the world. And to make it worse I’m going back when I graduate  So I’ll see you on the Magic Roundabout
