What's made you grumpy today?

I want to go to Russia or Canada and see how they handle the snow, the Uk seems to come to an almighty standstill the moment we get a sprinkling of the stuff.


My grump- being disciplined at wetherspoons for being off sick 9 times in a year... and for my dog dying. Wtf. Baring in mind im part time and there is plenty of staff, my absence has hardly caused an issue. I will fight this decision!

Ah, that's reminiscent of RM... they have to have such rules in place to stop some people taking the p**s, but it ends up catching genuine cases as well :(

same in any job really
I worked in a place that had an incentive scheme
much better to have a carrot than a rod


originally we got 1 weeks pay for a christmas bonus,for every years service
there were people with 30+ years :eek:
however you lost 5% for every sick day
so 20 days off and no bonus
eventually they capped it at 4 weeks
but then changed it to add a weeks pay in march,and a week in the summer
so 6 weeks pay a year extra for no sick days
 
thought you were already 'in'

do you still go through the full process?

Have to apply again for the regulars. Some Forces (Met I think) are trailing Specials skipping some training or something.

Applying for a force up in Scotland, no English forces are recruiting at the moment :(.
 
I've possibly killed my netbook (n) the keyboard connector won't go back together :'(

EDIT: Keyboard is working, but two screws which allow the back plate to be removed just spin. :doh:

Landlord called me back less than 3 hours after I handed the keys in:bang:
She doesn't think I can just leave now... because the other person who is meant to be taking my place will not accept the terms and conditions in the contract:(

In fairness to this person i wasn't happy with them to begin with and had to get them changed before i signed. Hopefully this person will also but it's looks highly unlikely. so i'm told i will have to pay next months rent as well.:mad:

I'm not going to pay if i'm not living there, my contract says this also. We have 6 days to make an agreement or things will get complicated..
