  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Cheers guys! :D Well the funny thing is I'll be working next to the big MOD building in London so if I was to be all Spy like my callsign would now be Falcon 1.5 yes :p

    It was such a fantastic feeling being offered the job yesterday. I've been at the university here for close to 7 years. For the past 3 I have been stuck at the top of my grade, no way to get a regrade and my boss doesn't want to know. And they just recruited a new guy to do almost the same job but they are paying him 4 times more than me. They always used to moan at me for not being able to do web design, graphic design, flash, action script, asp, database. I had to be a jack of all trades as that was best for the School as it saved them money. And the way my jobs been for the past many years there's been way to much to cover all by myself to be able to learn new stuff. But this new guy isn't a "web developer" either but they loved him so much in the interview they've thrown everything at him. Gah makes me sick.

    But hey I don't care any more! I can give them the 2 fingers and laugh all the way out the door! Woohoo :D

    No I didn't have cake Messiah but the gf and myself did celebrate with a curry :p
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    How very british of you. :D
  • StingrayStingray Elite Ranger
    I mean, they put vinegar on chips, what other examples do you need? :D
  • sataicallistasataicallista High Priestess of Squeee!
    Beans on toast!
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    I suppose it was :D Well when I got home I couldn't be arsed to cook and figured it was an occasion that needed some celebrating so convinced the gf that a take away was in order :p

    I put vinegar on my chips and mayo.... hmm tasty :p
  • sataicallistasataicallista High Priestess of Squeee!
    oh god...mayo....*shudders*
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    And for a real treat sometimes with ketchup as well!
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Vinegar on chips is good.. mmm..

    And with that story, who can help but be happy for you. Good job man. :)
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Mayonnaise on chips is good stuff. It's only just beaten out by tomato sauce.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Ugggh! You must mean Ketchup. You must! Please tell me you do.
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    No, I mean [url=http://www.watties.co.nz/html/products/products.asp?ID=85&categoryID=14]tomato sauce[/url]. Definitely not ketchup. Ketchup is much sweeter (and thus not as good).

    Also, since you appear to be unaware, this is distinct from [i]pasta[/i] sauce. :p
  • Space GhostSpace Ghost Elite Ranger
    Congrats, Falcon! Good luck at the new job! :)
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Ketchup sweeter? Eh?! Lies!
  • BigglesBiggles <font color=#AAFFAA>The Man Without a Face</font>
    Not lies at all.
  • SanfamSanfam I like clocks.
    Yes, lies. Terrible Lies!

    I want chips now dammit! And ketchup wins over mayo I'm afriad
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Ugh. Kids, dont do ketchup.
  • PSI-KILLERPSI-KILLER Needs help
    Thumbs up to Falcon!!!!
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Cheers! ;) Tomorrow I'm going to hand in my resignation letter. Can't wait to see the look on their faces!!! :D

    What's even better is mixing mayo and tomato sauce together! A taste explosion!! :p
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    You should take a camera with you, so you can share it with us! :D
  • ShadowDancerShadowDancer When I say, "Why aye, gadgie," in my heart I say, "Och aye, laddie." London, UK
    Thats exactly what I was about to suggest! Hehe its always so satisfying telling them you quit :D
  • ChaosedChaosed Ranger
    I've grown beyond your puny job! :D Say that. ;)
  • MessiahMessiah Failed Experiment
    Or.. you could say: Kneel down before me, I am your god!
  • Falcon1Falcon1 Elite Ranger
    Well yesterday was the day. At 5pm I walked into my line managers office handed him my resignation letter and said "this is for you and its not a christmas card!" Then I turned round and walked out :D

    Hee what a great feeling! My last day will be 13th December giving me 4 weeks off before I start my new job. Just what the doctor ordered.
