My first day of work today..

How long you been out of work?

Good to see someone who has got back into the working world. If only there were more jobless people trying hard to get work the UK ecomony would be better.

Lol forgot about this thread. Its at an esso garage. Pays the bills so i cant really complain to much. I cant imagine its going to be busy in the dead of the night.

There's 1 or 2 ESSO's in dodgy areas around Stoke. Then again, I suppose most places can be scary at night.

Congrats Meatloaf, Hope you enjoy the next 50 years of graft

Over a year so i was very very happy to get this after the countless interviews and rejections ive had.

Its the one at the bottom of anchor road. The doors locked all night so not to bad really

 

[Jingo...]

Congratulations Meatloaf- well done for sticking with the job search through the good and the bad; it appears to have paid off for you

 

[Kurisu Makise]

Holy thread revival

Well almost 3 months on and im loving the job, and theyre obviously impressed with me as they gave me a £120 bonus last month. Best of all im getting a pay rise already

I spent the bonus very wisely. On a GFX card

 

[Ampeg]

Good for you man! keep up the good work .

 

[Robbo]

Glad you are enjoying it!

Although, you cant have got much of a GFX card for £120, I am disappoint

Awesome stuff. I was unemployed for three months last year and it hurt. Makes you appreciate work so much more when you go back.

 

[Dreadi]

Good for you dude.
About 7 months into my job (after 8 months of being out a work) and i'm set to quit at the end of the month unless they can manage to swing me a month off so i can actually go and earn myself some real money. I've nothing but hate for the company i work for and the way the manager runs the place. Although, i have just had a lengthy discussion with the second in command and am feeling slightly hopeful it wont come to me having to quit but at the same time, unless something serious is done i will anyway as will others.

GTX 275 And with the tax refund i get this month im eyeing up a new case / PSU and Blu Ray drive

 

[SlugForAButt]

Good on you.
Job satisfaction is a bonus too.

 

[MeatLoaf]

Well as an update i officially sign for a promotion tomorrow along with payrise

Turns out the £120 bonus comes every month except last month it went up to £150. Last months went on a GTX460

The tax refund never came but at least im on the correct tax code now

Must say i feel so much better in myself for working

Is this meant to be some harsh stab at the unemployed among us?

Is this meant to be some harsh stab at the unemployed among us?

No I think it's him showing how pleased he is with being out working, but I guess people will find negatives that aren't there with everything.

 

[MeatLoaf]

Is this meant to be some harsh stab at the unemployed among us?

No not at all, it was meant to offer some hope to those unemployed tbh, as i was for over a year.

 

[HAz]

must suck being a doley for so long. gratz on the job tho.

 

[shifty_uk]

Is the Jesus picture STILL a bannable offence?

Nevertheless, good job MeatLoaf! Very admirable.

My comment is better late than never
