Wasn’t there someone on here trying to do something very similar to this for his “aquarium” ?

[Starfighter]

I have 8 cables needed on my aquatic setup. I came close to doing something like this.

The insides of the cabinet under our aquarium looks like the tomb full of snakes from Indiana Jones.


Aquaria... yes...

Messy cables... yes... (though these are hidden, so no...)

Erm, Hollywood blockbusters... Definitely...

Never has a "Danger" sticker been more appropriate.

You can put 'bad' references if you they are accurate and truthful. For example if you were sacked for stealing you wouldn't say they were honest.

Most big companies just give generic ones anyway, due to the potential issues that arise from references.

This can work in your favour - I was an IT contractor for 21 years but ten years ago now I ended up working an as a civil servant for six months - which although good fun was not something I could do for long, and as anybody in IT knows you need to be up to the minute on skills and six months doing something else might be a problem. Luckily they don’t give references that are in any way specific, just employment dates and IIRC grade. So I just put “software QA” on my cv.

Another great thing with government departments is their love of obsolete software so they don't have to pay excessive licence fees If they can get away with deploying Photoshop Elements via the network rather than buy the most up to date one, they will... so even Councils are a bit Council

[Starfighter]

Using a “lite” version of software as that is all that is required soundly like good financial judgement to me. So NOT council.

I new expect a whack with the arbitrary ban hammer for breaching the posting rules where everything is council.

I have mentioned before about a woman at my work being council, recent episodes include driving in drunk yesterday after a heavy day on the drink on Sunday, bringing bacon sarnies into work meetings, with external clients and saying she hopes they dont mind but she needs it to soak up the alcohol.

Asking for 1k compensayshun as the garage cracked a little corner of her windscreen (audi TT) and replaced it free of charge. This was after demanding a premium hire car as she "don't want no little crap car" and giving back a band new BMW 4 series hire car as she "didn't like they way it was trying to kill me"

Previous weekend she and her friends were coming back on a train and were dancing around shouting over their loud music and generally being drunk nuisances by the sounds of it. A guy came up to them to ask them to turn the music down a bit and he got told to F off. They posted the video of themselves they took as they "couldn't believe how rude this guy was" however it didn't go the way they hoped. They were looking for affirmation that he was a busy body, but apparently there are 70k comments, mostly about the being fat sl*gs in dubios clothing (tight leather trousers and crop top). And yes, they now want to sue people for the comments...

Be terrible if there was a police car waiting for her on a Monday morning, just saying.....

I agree. I am not one for all rules and regulations but drunk driving is just moronic

No drugs and alcohol policy at place of work? I’d sell them down the river on that one, narcissistic bh.

I used to work in IT for a well known, large bus/train company. Because the bus drivers had a no drink/drugs, random breath tests/swabs etc for obvious reasons, this policy was extended to all staff, so no drinking at lunch etc. However I did like my cheeky pub lunch with Fiona from accounts, who had MASSIVE bangers and nice shoes.

This was not a problem, because I looked after the program that randomly chose who to test. Needless to say said program was altered, and neither I nor Fiona with the massive bangers nor any of my drinking mates ever got tested.

I think there is, i might have to check that one out.

Strangely the boss seems to like her, she has only been here 4 months and when he interviewed her he said she was a real worker, someone that gets stuff done. I wasn't in on the interviews but i am a good judge of character and could have seen through this in 5 minutes imo.

Probably fancies her, she much younger than the boss?

Wow! That’s a whole new level of entitlement.

Speaking of entitlement, I give you this specimen

There'll always be an excuse, I don't mock mental health and have every sympathy but I can't help thinking people like this milk it and make of mockery of people who are genuinely debilitated by it.

Sadly "mental health" has become the new baddy back for skivers and scroungers.

Yes, she is 24 and he is 50 odd but happily married, i don't think that's it though. On the face of it, she is a real chav (15 min fag breaks 4 times a day) late every day takes long lunches, and he is 100% committed to work, stays till 7 most nights and is a director, it seems like he wouldn't get on with her at all, all seems very odd

I'm shocked...

Deffo fancies her, thats why she walks on water. That they have different attitudes to work is neither here nor there. Seen it all before.
