Huzzah! At last, I have things to do. The postal strike backlog came through yesterday, and left me with several tasks to work through. It might even be stressful, if it weren't for the fact that none of these tasks appears to have any particular time-limit. I did the longest and most complicated of them yesterday afternoon, leaving today to ( Read more... )

I posted an entry at about 1 today, and made it 'Friends Only'. If you can't see it, post here: you must accidentally not be on my Friends list.

LMAO! Vance has signed himself onto Facebook. I've joined the company's Facebook group, for my sins, so go have a look. I can't see this going anywhere good for him or me, but you've got to give him a bit of credit for trying.

Yesterday, I was given a couple of very odd tasks. First, I was given a letter by Alan. He's the owner and proprietor of the company (in name at least) and, incidentally, I think he was the guy reading my post last week.

Today, I have been mostly doing nothing ( Read more... )

So, I'm more than halfway through my first day and, so far, it's going okay. I'm still kinda feeling my way through what the fuck I'm supposed to be doing, but I'm not lost, which can only be a good thing ( Read more... )

I went in for my first half-day yesterday, to get trained up and ready to start properly on Monday. I also had a second interview with the guy who runs the company, one Vance Miller ( Read more... )

...that I now have a job! I'm working for a company in Oldham called Kitchens; they make and fit (bizarrely enough) kitchens, and I went up for an interview with them on Monday. I'm glad it payed off, because I spent about an hour walking down to Victoria station and another 25 minutes at the other end besides. As a result, my extremely ( Read more... )
