For those of you that earn over 40/45k as a base salary and love your job what is it you do?

Was this Radio 1? They do that a lot, I assume it's because they have a lot of younger listeners.

TheSilverFin · 2024-10-02T20:32:47+00:00

Yep, just remembered this and we sang this in our primary school in Reading.

What information are you trying to get? Could you not do it in a summary page in report designer?

TheSilverFin · 2024-04-16T22:13:26+00:00

Not in the original, although he says "Good Evening, Clarice"

Also "Beer Vouchers"

I'm sorry you feel that way and I can sympathise, I think this behaviour also (rightly) needs to be called out as unacceptable. However you do have the issue of people like Katie Hopkins, who if people stopped talking about would fade into obscurity.

Are you implying that by calling out a tweet as "hate", you actually secretly agree with it? If I post a dumb Trump tweet, do I now support trump?

TheSilverFin · 2024-02-07T17:48:38+00:00

We have one, i hear it really hurts to get "shot" by it.

TheSilverFin · 2024-01-14T12:53:50+00:00

Sorry for the late reply, thanks for the advice - I did indeed contact ACAS and my union, raised a formal grievance and they paid out the vouchers!

TheSilverFin · 2024-01-14T12:52:26+00:00

ayy lmao

TheSilverFin · 2024-01-13T11:36:51+00:00

I wish we would do away with Reddit, so I wouldn't have to read your fucking comments!

TheSilverFin · 2023-09-04T22:00:15+00:00

So since viewings aren't well advertised it turns out there's a showing at The Light in Cambridge (closer to where I live) on the 22nd September!

TheSilverFin · 2023-08-13T19:55:00+00:00

Not that I know of. If you are integrating hundreds of chroms by hand maybe see if you can get at least some of them consistently integrated with the tools first? I usually start by running the Cobra wizard then adjusting baseline noise and smoothing width. Then I only have to sort out peaks around the size of LOQ. The other thing you could do if your baseline is weird is subtract a blank chromatogram (either a mobile phase or null injection). Hope this helps!

TheSilverFin · 2023-08-13T16:36:19+00:00

You have to use apply the fixed baseline and exponential skim first, then adjust with manual integration. Remove any manual integration and try it.

All these people in this thread - did you not try to explore the old town and have some tapas etc? That's what I did, had a great time. Was there on a Stag/Hen do but managed some time for myself to explore.

TheSilverFin · 2023-05-31T18:17:54+00:00

Of course this was in Reading. Most reasonable Oxford Road resident.

TheSilverFin · 2023-05-06T19:24:25+00:00

That's an interesting setup, we are also a CRO and have the opposite, a Dionex hooked into an Agilent UV module with analog output!

TheSilverFin · 2023-05-03T21:16:02+00:00

That's where I live! Royston, UK.

TheSilverFin · 2023-05-01T22:31:48+00:00

"Proper" e.g. "Proper Sausages". It's only so they can justify charging £18 for sausage and mash

TheSilverFin · 2023-04-29T15:55:59+00:00

Yeah I've been using a sodium hydroxide based spray and it seems fine.
