It was a looong and tiring day. Ther Merchant hotel it ain't. But the trainers seem great and really supportive, which I think is most important.

I can honestly say I'm crapping myself!! I'm off on hols at 4am and I can't get the feckin stuff printed because the disc isn't Mac compatible, so it's going to have to wait until about 3 days before. Which I am NOT happy about...

it went well matey, alot of info to take in, but its really starting to hit home now that you're going to be a peeler! it was a bit of a dream for me for the past 4 weeks, i'm now getting really excited.

Its a reasonabley relaxed day, some interesting lectures and talks Mainly its general houskeeping, admin, uniform fitting, security and the regs/discipline side of things - taken very seriously, but its really nothing unreasonable and none of it should come as a surprise if you've got a brain in your melon.

all the staff and current SO's are VERY friendly and a wealth of support and information and i personally found the environment very inviting.

PP, my heart sank for you!

Not ideal. Send the stuff to me and I'll print it out for ya. :rolleyes::D

Rough surroundings won't bother me. I'll quite happily put up with that. Just can't wait to get started. Kinda jealous of you lot starting at the end of next week. My turn won't be long in coming though. :cool:

Why'd PandaPants get singled out for special treatment?

Oursole · 19-01-2009 10:36PM

Because she uses panda pants for her bluetooth name and the security guy came in and check to see whos bluetooth was on to explain the dangers.

Bluetooth. That's fecking why!!

:D

Tip for your induction day. Turn off your Bluetooth, or at least have a sensible name on it for your security lecture.

Note to self...... Switch off bluetooth before going to SRD!

:D:D

I can just imagine her heart in her mouth when they called out her name.

:D:D

Could've been worse. They could've called out the rest of you. No doubt they have some idea about this site.

Here here.

Did you not also think that alot of the things where repeated and wasted alot of time.

yeah defo they could cut that day in half easily!

carlty888 · 19-01-2009 10:44PM

Well, they have to vindicate the decision to switch from a SRN to a SRD. :rolleyes:

pb999 · 19-01-2009 10:47PM

i'm not entirely convinced that it was purely to do with bluetooth, i think they know more than they let on and using the bluetooth excuse, you've now identified yourself!!

the UU lecture was quite long winded, however remember that different people learn and pick up things at different paces, some people have never been to uni or havent studied in many years and that element will be completely alien to them. You have to give everyone an equal chance.

I thought it was grand, apart from the UU lecture. To be fair, it probably helped people who have been out of education for a while.

I think this whole paranoia about identifying yourself is going a bit OTT. I have't done anything wrong, nor do I plan to so it doesn't matter to me if anyone knows who I am.

Oursole · 19-01-2009 10:58PM

Has anyone found any good pairs of socks yet?

I thought it was more security-concious than using my real name...

PC Inwaiting · 20-01-2009 08:16AM

God my bluetooth name is very embarrasing, it relates to my love for a certain 90's boyband. Def turning my phone off now.

DownMTBer · 20-01-2009 11:43AM

Lol couldn't be as bad as mine!

You can't say that and then not tell us what it is.........!

DownMTBer · 20-01-2009 12:43PM

Can't remember who changed it to be honest and never bothered my ass changing it back
