    Don't worry Carlty, you did look tall next to me, 6ins is a quite alot (& I don't mean that in a filthy MGH kinda way). :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭PC Inwaiting


    Its not all about the size, its what you do with it that really counts hehe:D


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 469 ✭✭DownMTBer

    And you'd be amazed what i can.... better stop there :D

    Surely there is a limit to that saying as well tho... lets be honest... if you were so small that you couldn't...

    reach a shelf or see over your dashboard for example :p

    I'm content. My wife's content. I have no insecurities. :cool:

    She thinks I look "distinguished" with the grey. :P

    Well, at least that's what she tells me anyway - I'm happy to live in ignorant bliss. :D

    2 weeks from today I will be enjoying my last day of work. Followed by a lovely leaving party in one of Belfast's finests eateries to celebrate my greatness lol. So exciting.

    When is everyone else leaving their work?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 536 ✭✭✭integra1


    you guys will know this, when recruitment ring with offer, what does it come up as on phone? unknown or withheld or what? got an unknown earlier, just got me thinking if i get a call sometime what it will appear as!??
    Cheers


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭PC Inwaiting


    They actually rang my work number, so I am no help.

    Sorry.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 536 ✭✭✭integra1


    oh I thought they always rang mobiles?

    Me too? Which is why it came as a total surprise. I was having a really crap day and answered it totally half assed. Near choked on my tea.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 323 ✭✭squirrel81


    Im finishing on the 27th, leaving do that night, and away to spain for a few days after that Can't wait :D Though I dont think the best way to learn definitions will be after a few jugs of the oul sangria, but sure, will soon see.

    Integra, the call came up as unknown on my phone


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 536 ✭✭✭integra1


    thanks guys, have a nice hol wee squirrel!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,258 ✭✭✭carlty888


    They rang my mobile.

    It came up as "Blocked" on my phone, although it shows that for all withheld/unknown numbers.

    Could be the call my friend.

    I'm leaving on 27th too. 3 weeks today! Yay! :D

    I can't wait to get out of here. I actually used to like this job, but ever since I got the call I have had no interest in it whatsoever. Very unprofessional I know, but I don't care anymore. I'm leaving!!!! :P


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 263 ✭✭PC Inwaiting


    I say ring them and double check, do it now.

    They might be going home early on Friday, believe me I do similar work and Friday is always a skiving day.

    RING THEM.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,258 ✭✭✭carlty888


    I'm inclined to agree with PCI. Ring 'em now.

    Just say that you've received a missed call and you'd like to know if they were trying to get in touch with you.

    What's the worst that can happen. Either way you'll have your mind put at ease and if they're annoyed, it's not like they allowed to remove you from the list. It's a win-win. :D

    It's about the time when they'd be offering out places vacated by deferals.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 524 ✭✭✭Penis Eye


    i wouldve thot they would have left a message on an answering machine? heard a few ppl say they did? am i wrong in thinking that?

    2 weeks from today I will be enjoying my last day of work. Followed by a lovely leaving party in one of Belfast's finests eateries to celebrate my greatness lol. So exciting.

    When is everyone else leaving their work?

    Im leaving 2 weeks today! I'll sneak off to South America for a week between SID and 8th March. I'm telling myself i can study on the plane and while waiting around in airports! I'm another one who loves my job and will miss clients/colleagues but its time to move on! The last 2 weeks has just flown by- its seems like only yesterday i got the call so i know these next 2 weeks will disappear just as fast! Anyone else getting butterflies?


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 469 ✭✭DownMTBer


    I'm the same as you Carlty. 3 weeks to the day. And I usually like my job as well but I actually spent 3 hours at lunch on Monday and made up my timesheet just now :D

    As for that call I would wring them too. Now is roughly the time they'd be filling up any vacated places.

    Good Luck and fingers crossed!

    teg, is your vetting still ongoing? if so are you gonna call to see if its cleared before the next calls go out?
    I think calls could start going out from week of 16th - don't think mine will clear in 10 days - if you ring first let me know what thay say!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 536 ✭✭✭integra1


    No guys not gonna ring them as vetting was ongoing very start of this week so I think it would be too soon for me yet...

    I think now if they really want me they will at least leave ans fon message...


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 21 silver_x


    i leave in 1 week and a day lol then to spain to gte a lovely red tan lol and relax before the hard works starts :D

    Yeah, if appointments ring, they will leave a message on your answer phone. At least they did in my case, and I think they did with PandaPants also.

    Incidentally, im also going to spain for a week around the 28th.
