I'm sure they're supporting some worthwhile cause, but there's something about the look of them that really annoys me. I really like them. They’re going to get auctioned off and the money donated to the kids hospital charity if that makes it less annoying. I have to admit, I’ve got the app and I’ve been collecting them.

IronJambo Posted July 10, 2019 Share Posted July 10, 2019 9 hours ago, Thommo414 said: I am desperate, that's correct. I made it clear in my rejected application to them that I wanted to come back with a bit of ambition and not only achieve the role I was in, but to surpass it. Which is true, I feel like I left at a time where I could and probably should've kicked on. My mental health took a massive decline working there. We were understaffed and each having to take on about 2/3 peoples work, and on top of that, I had to train new staff as well as my original contribution. A big ask, made worse by having people below me actually having the nerve to question my ability when they were coming in and doing the absolute bare minimum. I was also a victim of relentless bullying by a coworker for about 6 months. He was sacked a few months before I left but the damage was done there. Now, I'm back on meds, more appreciative of what I had, looking to the future and determined to make something for myself. It wasnt 100% similar. The application which received an interview was actually slightly less qualified than my original effort. I get it that different people would have different approaches to employment etc but it's only in terms of the area (Edinburgh, West Lothian) that management has changed. Surely that's not big enough to actually implement any changes to the policy within the company as a whole. It is a huge stretch, you're right, hence why I haven't actually decided to take them further. I only know of one other person who didn't get rehired which I understand as, unlike me, they left in very acrimonious circumstances. I'm not saying any of what I said is actually the case, I'm just pointing out the obvious variables to a pragmatic mind. I hope it didn't seem like I was having a go at you either. I hope you find something that suits you soon, or even something that keeps you going to take the pressure off. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IronJambo Posted July 12, 2019 Share Posted July 12, 2019 Had 2 hours and 20 minutes to kill between jobs at work and when I start preparing 20 minutes before it I find out the the job was cancelled 3 hours beforehand.

All roads lead to Gorgie Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 I am not a great fan of eggs but thought for a change this morning I would boil a couple of them. Firstly I forgot they were on and rescued them just in time but by then they were really hard boiled. To make matters worse when I scooped out the yoke from mine it fell off the spoon onto the floor and I was left with the tasteless white part. Back to porridge or cereal tomorrow in this house.

peter_hmfc Posted July 23, 2019 Share Posted July 23, 2019 (edited) The new Sky Sports advert, mentions probably every EPL club AND the Old Firm, no mention of Hearts, Hibs, Aberdeen, etc. Predictable, but still annoying.
