Uh oh.
You automatically assumed I'd been a twat and done something to put myself in this position. I'm sorry if I misread your post but that, to me at least, sounds like you were just assuming the worst out of me.

No need to snap Cyanide, I think Mike was just looking for an explanation as to why exactly you were fired, as a company cannot fire you just for looking for another job. It might be an idea to have a look through your contract and check the terms of the disciplinary procedure.

What a twat of a day, I barely stopped. Got shit done though, so it's all good. I got the fire alarm panel on that nuisance site back up and running too, aww yiss!
This track was rather raucous in particular, nice man.

Monster monster!

You should've kept schtum about your job man, you know, due to the nature of your work and all that.
Um, how's that now? That's exactly the kind of thing they'd take into account!
Also, this may be the fattest bike tyre I've ever seen:
Because a disciplinary and file notes can only remain on record for six months. I got my disciplinary over six months ago. They shouldn't have counted it but they did. As for whether I'm going to pursue challenging it? Nah, fuck it, I've sent my CV out in full force.
A reminder of my eternal shame - I can't ride a bike. One day, one day.

That looks like an awesome shop
So, you bitch and whine about not having enough money to do anything - yet the opportunity arises where you have apparently been unfairly dismissed from your job... Which, correct me if I'm wrong, if you were and you win the case you get a decent cash settlement at the end... And you're just going to ignore all of this and look for another job?
Something smells a bit fishy to me, I don't think this is the whole story.
Also, just to clarify - a disciplinary can stay on file as long as the company wants - it shows you've done something wrong in your job, therefore can use it in evidence against you if you were to continue doing stuff wrong.
Tread lightly my friend... Tread lightly...
You realise that you're basically going head first into a pretty strong clique with all this animosity, right? Know when to back off. This isn't helping.

I used to do that all the time. In fact I used to tell my boss when I'd found something promising.

Darke Cycles, proper specialists. Halfords it ain't.
You and Andy would have a field day!
Haha, let's all point and laugh at aface!
The 6 months refers to the period in which they can use that as the first step in disciplinary proceedings. In terms of taking it into account, it will be relevant as long as they remember about it.

You know what I forgot? It's Friday!!!!! So I'm renewing a tradition of mine.
What's everyone's weekend plans?
Tonight Im meeting Mike and his new girlfriend in Camden for a few drinks.
Tomorrow I have a few friends coming round to finally swap Christmas presents.
Sunday no plans as yet, might head out on the bike then cook a full roast, havent done that for a while.

Sounds like a nice plan!
Think I've already mentioned, but cinema tomorrow (excited to see slave + wolf) and then relaxing. Emma has severe arthritis everywhere but her neck, and this week I've been on helper duty so probably will be doing that too.
That's so weird, my weekend is starting out pretty much the same.
Just got to kings cross, now to find somewhere that sells flowers...
What were people complaining about
Aww yess! So delighted to read that question again. Currently on the bus listening to some Gambino while heading to a birthday laser tag event. Meeting up with a female friend tomorrow evening. Sunday is rest and TV show watching day.
Well I was thinking of going to the cinema but strangely there doesn't seem to be anything new out at the cinema this week. I'll probably just stay in tonight and get a takeaway and watch anime and maybe get around to catching up on some TV shows or something, or play videogames.
I dunno, my weekends are mostly boring I'm afraid :/
Next weekend will be more interesting though as I'm in London on the 24th for BETT 2014.
Oh and I still have like £510 left on my Selfridges gift card cos they still haven't gotten that tablet I want back in stock :/
As mentioned, word had got round I was looking for work elsewhere. People felt my position and wage were not justified if I was planning on leaving the company. At least six people had complained.
Weekend plans for me.
- Weather permitting get back into a jogging routine. It's overdue.
- Brainstorm more ideas for a project I'm working on.
- Do some research for this project.
- Apply for a few jobs.
- Depending on whether he's free over the weekend, meet with Tash for some drinks.

Word doesn't just get around. Someone had to have known, someone must have seen. Again, not a justified reasoning for firing someone.
I don't think you realise what happened here.
Haha, let's all point and laugh at aface!
Please do. The shame will spur me on.
Quiet one this weekend. Hopefully trying out the new guitar as mentioned previously, and a bit more googling for itinerary inspiration for honeymoon.
Enjoy your drinks tonight. Would be great to do something similar with some London gaffers in the near future - seems an eaiser prospect to get to know you all a bit better in a smaller group outside of/in addition to the big meets.
at least you can know you're not alone.
Making Margaritas and watching Arrow, maybe also Her.
What exactly do you mean by that?

Tonight:
Drinks after work. We've our only female team member leaving next week so are getting the drinks in now so we can focus on making outrageously sexists remarks all of next week at her expense. Bless.
Wifey has told me to come home reeking of booze and kebab. I knew she was a keeper.
Tomorrow:
Play average-to-good videogames in my pants. All day.
Maybe watch a movie with wifey in the evening.
Sunday:
Shop around for a proper winter jacket to wear rather than continuing with the piece of glorified tin-foil I bought from Asda 2 years ago.
Finish off watching House of Cards with wifey. Possibly in pants. Status unconfirmed at this point.

Aww, Son of D x Tash and Mush x Mikeside minimeets, have fun guys!
Pretty quiet one for me, just chilling with some beers and movies/vidya games tonight, spring clean time for the gaff tomorrow, probably see the boys tomorrow night. No idea for Sunday yet, I'll just follow my nose innit.

Just joshin' brah. If it helps, I'm a terrible swimmer. :|
It's a fairly blunt statement.

Thanks, Im sure I will!
And yes definitely, the main quarterly meets are non-London based at least for the first half of the year. So Im sure Ill be organising some mini meets in between for the London based clique! Will keep everyone updated.
Oooh enjoy. This weeks episode wasnt as amazing as the mid-season finale but I think thats to be expected, it was still pretty good and nice to have it back after so many weeks without!
And yet it's not. What's happened that, for some reason, you think I don't understand has happened?

I think you and I may work in similar industries. My employer will be exhibiting at BETT. Fortunately, I'm not required to participate - trade shows are quite an ordeal.
Don't know who that is, sorry.
If she's like most, truly it's the thought that counts. I told my missus about my good day (insurance win and pay day) and she was about as subtle as a sledgehammer in suggesting that I buy her flowers as a result. So yep, home via the florists it is!
Woops! Will he be offended I wonder.
as long as you are playing vita he will forgive you
Bitches love flowers almost as much as Wagamamas.
CHEEZMO;97458380 said:
Proper florist, actually
So frighteningly true. She'll go shopping just because she knows the mall has a Wagamamas, even if she comes home empty handed.
I do this.
Let's hope your good lady has brought you some flowers as well then.
