Looks like I can't avoid going to the brew to sign that Change of Circumstances form (which btw Wolfy, you'll have to do if/when your Contribution based benefit runs out so you can go onto the Income based benefit) - I got a phone call from Game today:


Me: Hi, I was asked to ring you back?

Game: Yes, you are so l33t and seckseh and gorgeous that we couldn't resist offering you a job

Me: Damn right

/me struts.....




Well okay, maybe not EXACTLY like that, but I've got the job anyway!

So if I'm a decent enough employee they said that there's a chance of it becoming a permanent position after the Xmas job "ends" on January 12th.

So I get:

30% off of software
25% off of peripherals
10% off of hardware and DVDs

\/

Heh Im comming to get my discount from you


/rub rub

Here was me thinking Game was the place that spotty school leavers worked whilst getting fucked over paywise.

 

[Sar]

Also ex-BT employees looking for easy christmas money

 

[Mellow-]

Well technically he is still a student, so it makes sense that he's working in a shop.

It's still not a proper job though, he could be earning more down mcdonalds

 

[Munkey-]

oh yes. and dont look in any mirrors

(2 pints and a packet of crisps (?) refrence )

good luck

 

[Testin da Cable]

no more pints for me. been doing a goodbye-weekend thing heh. tomorrow will kill meh eep :/

Fuckin pished myself today laughing.

Went into Game in Belfast (not the branch I have the job at btw), and bought UT2K3.

Chanced my arm at the 30% discount.

They were having none of it.

Bah

Well, was worth a try anyway

Hows UT2K3 runnin for ya?
I gets nice fatal error windows now and then

 

[dysfunction]

Aah Ive got fond memories of Fatal Errors....

 

[Sar]

Runs great, occassional (fairly rare, only when there's a lot of players close up on screen at once) fps drops, but sticks above 60 or so the vast majority of the time.

Looks beautiful too, don't have the heart to lego-ise it

 

[Sar]

Oh and seeing as this is the jobs thread:


Started in Game today with 2 hours training.

Went ok, all fairly easy, hardest thing was trying to remember everything that was thrown at us in the 2 hours.


Shit thing is the amount of hours I have to work - 16 between now and Friday week, and that includes the 2 hours spent training tonight.




So in 2 weeks I'll earn the whopping sum of £68.




I was lead to believe it was gonna be full time, eg 37 hours per week or so, but I've checked the rota for the next 10 weekdays and that's the sum total of my rota'd shifts.

I'm hoping it's only for the first fortnight, as we get used to the workings of the shop, but if it keeps up like this, and I can't get any extra cash from the DHSS to make up the shortfall between that and the £114 I get on the dole per fortnight, then I'll have to quit.

Don't want to, because I'd like to be working full time again, but it might be financially necessary

 

[Mellow-]

You could always get a proper job?

Or two part time jobs, or something with money ...

 

[Sar]

Organ donations for research & experimental purposes.


Drawback is I hear they have to be your own organs though.



And they can't be of the "Ye olde Church/Music hall" organ variety neither.



Picky bastards

 

[Gumbo]

There's bound to be loads of work in the run up to christmas at a store like GAME.

You just have to be the part timer they pick to do it, not Dave the useless dull one, or Phil who they're sure is nicking stuff, but they just can't prove it etc.

 

[dysfunction]

You can always go and have drugs experimented on you at the hospitals...

...Side effects...unknown

 

[xane]

another option coming your way
