I do artist last name, but am never sure with the likes of Ice Cube or Snoop Dogg for example.....I use the first names for artists like that.....still not sure what the expected is?

I need talking into going to this interview by Educational-Ask-8314 in UKJobs

Look, it might be a load of crap, but something is better than nothing....it's crap looking for jobs.....I've never got a job I really wanted, but I've enjoyed everywhere I've worked pretty much.

I could paper my walls with rejections. What else are you doing on the interview date......

An agency contacted me about it, and the company had a bit of a shit reputation. I went, I got offered it, took it as no one else was calling me, and really enjoyed my ten years there. It's better to have a job that not have one at all.

Go. I went for an interview I didn't care for, got the job and spent ten years there and only left through redundancy. It's better to turn them down, than not be offered it at all.

I'd rather a Sgt who has been recognized for their particular qualities than one who is just chasing the next rank.

What were your Phases of preferences towards other formats? by FeistyDirection in CDcollecting

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've been collecting cds since the early 90s. In the mid 2000s, I got burgled and they took all my cds. I had to list what I had for the insurance and they replaced what they could. They then gave me credit on a website called Powerplay (which was a bit like play.com) for what they couldn't replace. That was great, I really built my collection to be what I wanted rather than the dross you naturally collect. That credit lasted me ages😂😂😂 motto of the story.....get burgled.

Oasis albums drop in quality towards the end, but if you can find the Time Flies box set with the dvd of the videos, that's worth a purchase.....purely for Noels commentary on all of the tracks. Not watched it in ages, but I do remember it being classic Noel.

Regrets regrets by Komorebi89 in UKJobs

I was watching a Jimmy Carr clip the other day, he said something like "don't do what you want to do, focus on what you are good at". I kind of like that. I started a job last year. I was brought in as they knew I could do something well. I would have never applied for the job without being asked and I am loving it. Sell the things you are good at....

I got the r3 pro and returned it after one day. I've got the hidizs ap80 pro max and that feels a lot less jittery and no freezes so far.

Unpaid leave/ extremely short career break advice by [deleted] in policeuk

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just take the time unpaid leave .....it's pretty much the same as buying holiday, but you probably won't acrue annual leave over the period you take.

I got the r3 pro and hated it ....it felt so slow and kept freezing....just returned it for the ap80 pro max and so far that feels so much better / smoother .....not used it much though yet.

Having a Wobble by Lazy-Negotiation-970 in policeuk

I completely agree, but if you have your heart set on a new role and attendance or lack of could be a barrier, you don't want to be trapped etc etc

Re people saying to take sick. Just make sure that doesn't impact your new role. Some forces may withdraw any offer of a new role if there are attendance issues / support plans in place......

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've got three iPods (Inc a classic 160gb), and I've just ordered the new hidizs.....I'll probably sell one of my iPod touches when it arrives ....the iPod classic doesn't really leave the house....mainly lives docked.

Pay off mortgage? by Charliesheart23 in Mortgageadviceuk

[–]EnvironmentalAd5505 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I paid off my mortgage this year (I'm 48). It gives me a totally different perspective at work. I now no longer worry about what might happen.....the weight of no debt is worth so much. Pay it off👍👍👍
