The all new TG's gorra job, worra bout you thread

[Barman]

Indeed I do.

It was more like telling the person on the fone to feck off and wait while I sorted out the paperwerk like.

 

"Shut the fuck up - I'm doing a test here!"

[The Moan Ranger]

I've just applied for this - it's almost exactly what i was doing. And it's in Sutton too!

Where's the "fingers crossed" smiley thingy?

[Barman]

Excellent!

I'll try and find a fingers crossed emotiwhotsit!

[tel]

I think I could do with a bucketful

[Barman]

Is this it...?

[Barman]

What is he doing then...? 

Ooops... 

[TG]

Booked an NHS training course for the 30th. I thought I would have to go to them for a classroom course like. But no, they come out to you for a one on one course. I thought that would scupper it but Mrs TG's boss says don't worry about it, we will make a room and workstation available.

Very generous of them considering I wont be working there by then.

Thoroughly nice people.

 

[Uncle Mort]

Very nice of them.

We had some government chappie out once to do some training. Can't remember for what but they sent someone out to us pre the day to ensure we complied with all their H & S rules. 

[tel]

Went for interview today.

3 person panel, HR lady, IT manager and IT analyst.
I was told that each of them would ask 1 question explaining that these were the rules and all candidates would be asked the same questions.
Well, no tricky questions, all pretty straightforward, I think. Lasted about 20 minutes and that included changing rooms as the first one had people digging with drills outside.
I was told that there would be a hardware test afterwards - this comprised of being given 20 minutes to replace 2 memory boards! I was monitored/timed by a secretary.
It took longer to power up again than it did for me to exchange the boards.
I found that test almost insulting.

It then took me over 2 hours to get home (should be about 30 minutes). I was hanging around on the platform at Tulse Hill for over an hour - the information was going mental with thing like the 11:32 due at 12:16 and the different trains due constantly constantly changing their sequence.

I think I would definitely take the job if offered, looks a reasonable and interesting place to work, more or less and independent operation within the main hospital set-up.

Will now have to wait and see if the gods are smiling on me.

TG should be smoking a big cigar when he walks though the door!  

[Miss Demeanour]

That just means they wanted to check you either provided lunch or there was somewhere close by that had decent grub
