New job, yay!

Long story, but basically I went for a job I saw advertised by one of our suppliers (realising that could potentially be a bit awkward), I knew I was capable and that the package was likely to be a reasonable amount more than what I'm on... the company I'm with currently have been VERY good to me, so I set the bar quite high in terms of what I'd leave for and they offered me more than I asked for, which was something I really can't afford to turn down. Because my current employers have been so good to me, I was cacking myself really about telling them, but I went in and spoke to them before I handed them the letter and explained exactly what I have written above and they were so understanding - my manager said that he was amazed they'd managed to keep me for so long and that he wasn't surprised at the company I was going to either and my director told me I had to do what was right for myself, my family and my career (and also that the new company owners are going to have to realise that if they don't pay competitive wages, they are going to lose good people). They both agreed they'll be very sorry to see me go, but don't want to stand in the way of my career progression. The new job is a bit further to go, but a good progression for me and I'm relishing the prospect of working for a small company (around 10 or 11 people).

[DevilsDuck]

T'will be a blissful week for me, no 200 miles a day commuting for a change.

Keep up to date in Car thread, i'll not be gone long, and might even find wi-fi out there!

[MK Chris]

[James H]

...why would you want to?! Are you not going on holiday to get away? I had no internet at all on holiday, 'twas great!

Yeah, I'll concur with that. Leave us alone and enjoy yourself!

[dimtimjim]

Now now boys, to be fair I am going on holiday with 'er indoors and 2 kids, both girls. Me V's 3 of 'em 24/7.... I'll need my thoughts of turbochargers and oil to keep me sane!

But yes, in reality I doubt I shall, still, comedy value and all that...

Chuffed for ya toph - well done and good luck!

[dimtimjim]

Righto, worked my little arse off this morning, so I'm all done!

Also, put Big-T's mind at rest a little about his broken car. All in all, a sense of achievement.

So, i'm off to Spain, see you next week m'darlings! Lorra luv!

[St@rk]

I bought an S3 and it arrives in a couple of days - that's currently keeping me very happy (sad I know)

Oh and the large Camel in the office open area...

[Boboff]

That reminded me of a recent story from a 17 year old girl who has bought on ebay a permanent tatoo machine.

She asked her boyfriend if she should tatoo the word "Camel" on her toes.

That way she would always have a Camel Toe!

I thought it was funny!

[a-moron]

She should go the whole hog and tattoo 'pussy' on the inside of her lip, 'side' on her boob and 'po' on one bum cheek and 'per' on the other.

*Edit. Nice to see you again boboff.
And you too foots.
CJ, not so much.*
