i srs'd up the hangout, plz go back to making maymays. :wacko:
I reckon even if I did better in school and finished my A Levels, I'd still have the same job I have now. :dread:
Qualifications make me no better at being a people person, so most customer focused roles I'd have still been turned away from. :wacko:
potato salad for some reason it tasted better last night then today.
I'm shite with people, thank god I work with a small group of people away from having to deal with the public at large.
What I'm not going to say in the interview tomorrow. :wacko:
I have a big beard, wear leather and ride a Harley. Dealing with people is easy.
Particularly if you're in Texas.

He wasn't hurt or anything either, was the strangest thing. So happy the little fur-ball is back home now though, as are my parents. :]

You could work IT where I work if you had the degree.Quote:

He's literally useless.
So went in to discuss one of my markings with the "internal moderator". He didn't even let me begin and said you're not allowed to object to your tutor's academic judgment.
If he's not gonna even listen to what I have to say and always assume the tutor is right what's the point of there being a moderator?? I tried to object and he was like "How many degrees do you have? Your tutor has 2 degrees. I'm going to believe him not you."!
That is true for all students in all universities in the world! Doesn't mean the tutor's can't ever be wrong, that's what moderators are supposed to be there for, not to just say "I blindly believe the tutor".
WTF I can't articulate how pissed I am right now. :explode:
It's hilarious at work how stuck up the engineers are just because they have degrees. Half of them have no clue what they are talking about yet are dumbfoundead when they are wrong and the lab guys who have been working here for 10-20 years know better than them.
Like, bruh, just cause you have a degree doesn't mean you are right by default.
HAVING A DEGREE MEANS HE'S BEEN THROUGH THE NINE CIRCLES OF HELL AND BACK. I'D BE VARY OF HIM IF I WERE YOU.Quote:

Dispite working here for 10 years, being heavily relied on by some engineers for his department, and being the go to guy for anythong anodize related, they denied hom the job onstantly because he didn't have an engineering degree.
Loke, fuck. That's becoming a huge problem IMO. People with degrees seem to want to make certain rolls the exclusive club for others like them even if someone without one has the experience to fulfill the roll better than someone fresh from college.
You live and you learn, I'm ok with the job I've got now for another year or two then it'll be time to move on.Quote:

Actually quite interested in the idea of going into mobile cleaning now. :P
I should have said that feels bad but I've also said some cringeworthy stuff in interviews, so I definitely know that feel. :wacko:
Also how's about a 3 minute 1 to 1 interview, where I was put on a 3 minute timer on an iPhone and just told "tell me about yourself" to which I spent 2:30 minutes saying "erm"
:wacko:
They put you on a timer, wow.
That one doesn't sound like you did anything wrong so much as the interviewer was a lazy git. :wacko:Quote:

You shouldve just said I'm Batman.
