I had to look it up

 

[magicbastarder]

it's not just from a book, it's a hoary old chestnut among cyclists. i assume the book is the book which resulted from the velominati website becoming popular.

Velominati – Keepers of the Cog

I have 6 bikes
And am operating a strict one-in, one-out policy

But I also have a decent-sized which means the policy is not as strict as it should be

Also applies to guitars

Can't play guitar, but I feel this

My AP (2 grandes above me) has been out sick a little over 5 months now. We have someone giving us a bit of a hand but I’m doing close to half the work, as well as my own. Getting a bit sick of it at this stage and all the “You’re doing a great job!” aren’t exactly making the work any easier. Some of the work is fairly high profile, so any mistakes can become a big deal really quickly. I never wanted to be someone that says “I don’t get paid enough for this” but I definitely don’t.

Saying that, someone I massively respect (and want to be like when I finally grow up) spoke to people about me and said I’m wasted in the civil service and should be doing what she does, so that’s keeping me going this week.

my only advice is to document everything you're doing now, so that when the time comes around again to apply for promotion you can put it all into the stupid form

 

[Reets]

Good idea. I’m keeping track of it but my memory is shit at the best of times.

there's nothing worse than having to fill in those little competency boxes

Work is going great. Wainscoting a HSL from scratch and finishing it in gloss . It's a big job. As big as I'd like to go.

Have another wainscoting job lined up too. Big demand for it.

Still on the 4 day week though. There'll be no change to that. I see myself at the vanguard of a social revolution.

 

[magicbastarder]

HSL?

I'm on a 4 day week for about 4 years and I'll do everything in my power never to go back to five. I do the exact same if not more work. I'd say it's the same for you.

I had to look up what "wainscott" was when I heard this song many years go
"
Put your hand behind the wainscot
You have done your part"

Can't get a job up here so I'm going to have to go to dublin to work. At least for a while anyway. Old job are only delighted to get me back which is kind of nice

Absolutely. And some days I just keep going when I'm enjoying it. More productive overall

Fair play. I have done similar and it is very rewarding work.

Where do you get the wainscot material?

I had a devil of a time trying to source it in Dublin about 10 years ago

just got laid off, for the third time

and I'm happy about it this time. Fucking toxic company. Glad to see the back of them.

Sorry to hear that you got laid off again, but delighted to hear it means you are getting out of a really shitty situation

Handed in notice so back to working full time for myself again soon.

Best of luck with it.

If you are carrying out AP work you should be on an acting up allowance (as we call it). It is not reasonable to ask you to take on extra tasks above your grade without compensating you.


I also handed in my notice - yesterday - I finish up on Tuesday.
