    I'm happy for my hatred of organizing events to be added to the collective resource of thumped.

    Your work situation

    ah yeah - I fucking hate events all the same. They are the epitome of hidden, underappreciated work, and everyone else's problem or idea being THE MOST IMPORTANT THING IN THE WORLD regardless of the 1001 other things that have to be done. and people always complain..regardless of how well or...

    Your work situation

    since before christmas we have been planning a conference/annual meeting in the context of an absolute minefield of politics between various partners involved, and never ending scope creep in terms of making every ones dreams come true. It has been an almighty pain in the balls, as I've had to...

    Humility… Let’s just say I’ll never put ‘other strategic projects’ on a cv again unless I have a few actual good examples :)

    Your work situation

    clinical academic. often comes with the territory... It was a series of misunderstandings, and misinterpretations of things I said. Not helped by me getting into panic mode towards the end. It was fairly 'the office' at times...

    I've not had the experience from either side of the process of re-interviewees/re-interviewing I'll have a think about it, deadline isn't until January.

    Your work situation

    thinking of going for a job in the new year, its a back-fill of a job I went for a few years ago which I wasn't really in the running for but was interviewed - with farcical results (chaos on their side, me stumbling on my side). It would be a step sideways, but I'd obviously be much better...

    Your work situation

    I'm a sucker for checking my work emails outside of work. part of it comes from working with yanks who are starting work as I'm finishing up most days.

    Your work situation

    Its a tricky one - as far as I'm aware if its their cock up, and not due to any fucking around on your side they can't reclaim it. also if its gone through proper payroll channels, and you've been taxed, you're all clear with the MAN as well. I remember about 3K mysteriously appeared in my...

    Your work situation

    Almost finished a 120 page eu grant application which has eaten the past month of my life. The only saving Grace has been that I’ve been working with a former friend and band mate who I’ve not had much to do with since he left Ireland in 2010. Our very different paths bought us to a point where...

    Your work situation

    I think pat the pirate was eventually edged out, although he ended up working in sales somewhere else in the industry. that company did have some 'characters' working on the service and install side as well,

    Your work situation

    we used to deal with a complete cowboy of a salesman. he was late 50s early 60s, old school dub wide boy. What the company sold were very large items, and the delivery and install team used to hate his guts as he always lied about how possible it would be to get things down stairs etc. (we once...

    Your work situation

    yet. I'd go the joe route. For the craic. Every job I've had I've assembled a mental or actual file of potentially scandalous shit that I'd leak to the ragtops if I got sacked. They probably wouldn't be interested in fairness.
