Good luck Mardroid - the fact that they've actively invited you to interview for a job you didn't apply for has got to be a good sign. They WANT you dude!

Keep calm and wear your lucky underpants! Good luck mardroid!

Cheers guys.

Break a leg, Mardroid.

Mardroid · 18 August, 2011, 11:52:24 PM

Thanks. I got the job! Seemed he just wanted to talk it over with me, see what I thought of it. It's only part-time (with strong possibility of extending the hours later) from basic pay, but it beats dole money. (It's in Eltham a bus ride away so travel isn't that expensive.)

I felt a bit guilty as it turns out the manager (or Principle, in his case as he is the head of a college, I'll be on the admin staff) was someone who knows our family from a while back and has a lot of respect for my father. I only found this out this interview (I thought his face familiar, but I hadn't seen him in years. I think we're talking over 10 years ago.) Amusingly people would be sneering "deus ex machina" if that happened in a fictional story...

That's great, Mardroid. Congratulations!

Now go and pop a cold one and have a celebrate - you've earned it!

Nice one Chris

Well done that man

Good man Mardroid, now you can afford to stand us all a round at Banners' wedding.

While searching for the entrance to the parallel universe where all my USB thumb drive migrate to, I not only found the one I was looking for but also the one I lost over a year ago along with the spare SD card for my camera

I've managed to keep my job in the remixing here. I was hoping for an upgrade, but there was also the possibility of being seriously out of it. So on the whole- I'm glad to still be here.

It's Friday, the start of the Bank Holiday weekend and I've got an early finish this afternoon. I will be using this time to visit a few comic shops and see what goodies I can find. Life is good.

SmallBlueThing · 29 August, 2011, 06:14:39 PM

Because I've got over 30 hours overtime pay due from this week, despite only doing an extra 11, thanks to the Bank Holiday and the relief staff being shit, meaning I have to cover at "short notice". I was due to meet up with Mr Forces and his family- but thankfully he understood the need to earn filthy lucre comes first.

PLUS- and this is brilliant- I'm currently sitting here watching 'Wingin' It' on CBBC- and I immediately recognised the "coach" actor as Eugene Clarke- better known to some of us as BIG DADDY in LAND OF THE DEAD! I love being a zombie nerd...

I did a lunchtime dash to Forbidden Planet and Prbital just now and picked up a few new items. In Orbital I got the Dredd annuals for 88, 90 and 91, with the 2000AD annuals for 89 and 91 for the combined total of £19.
