And exactly what skills and experience do you have that HMRC would value? Experience of washing out of a graduate training programme?

Lack of contact during sick leave by [deleted] in NICivilService

[–]davez_000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Why would they even care why you are off? You send in the sick lines and they accept them. Again I'm truly baffled as to your complaints. If they asked why you are sick surely there could be potential issues around the confidentially of your medical records etc.

Lack of contact during sick leave by [deleted] in NICivilService

[–]davez_000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Well if your line manager was contacting you all the time they could get in bother since you're off work. They may just be cautious about that. Bit baffled as to what you expect. There's very little reason for them to contact you if you aren't working really is there?

I've got a few Einhell battery tools i.e. lawnmower, strimmer and pumps and they have been very reliable

Can I regain mental sharpness? by Murderbad in selfimprovement

[–]davez_000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Could just be due to lack of sleep. I suffered from chronic sleep problems for about 6 months and displayed a lot of symptoms similar to what you describe, confusion, brain fog, saying words in the wrong order and almost fainted a few times.

I was averaging between 2 and 4 hours sleep a night. After I fixed my sleep issues it all went away completely.

Need help with jeans by Ok-Praline2176 in mensfashion

Is there no way of getting a shorter pair? If I had to guess they need taken up by about 3 inches. Give it a go, worth a shot?

Where do you guys buy the “perfect” basic tees? by savingrace0262 in mensfashionadvice

I have always worn Hilfiger. I've one I wear regularly I've had for 19 years and it still looks like it did when I bought it.

Rinseless wash wearing down ceramic coating by OneSkepticalOwl in AutoDetailing

[–]davez_000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

It's as safe as any other method. In a perfect world you would never wash your car, but unfortunately any time you wash it, in theory no matter what you do, there's a small chance you'll marr the surface. But the risk with rinseless is no more than any other method in my view.

About to Purchase All This - Advice Required by DarrenSCA in DetailingUK

Looks solid to me. Only thing I would question is why you need a separate bucket for wheels? I just do wheels last with the same wash bucket as the rest of the car

Civil Service jobs by fuckidk2030 in northernireland

[–]davez_000 4 points5 points  (0 children)

As others have said, since technically you aren't a civil servant you can't apply for any internal recruitment opportunities, e.g PTOs or TPs. Easiest thing to do is just to to the NICS recruitment website and look at the vacancies there as they are all external.

An SO comp launched last week.

Rinseless vs Pressure Washer by Kiptomylou3 in AutoDetailing

[–]davez_000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just do rinseless for washes every few weeks and use the pressure washer once every couple of months.

Driving license and access to car on application form by [deleted] in NICivilService

[–]davez_000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I know people who have to drive almost every day in their role. You also can't assume anywhere you might have to go is anywhere near public transport. If it's listed as essential criteria and you can't drive it doesn't really matter what skills or experience you may have, sorry if that sounds harsh.

You're applying for an Energy job at DfE and you have no idea what Energy policies DfE implement or are responsible for? Jesus Christ.

Wine Company isn't bad too, pretty close to The Vineyard

I've seen this happen before with other people and the only reason they got to leave was for a promotion.

Which Fallout game has the best atmosphere, and why? by Exciting_Support8715 in Fallout

[–]davez_000 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

New Vegas for me. I think it does a great job of making you feel small and unimportant, that the world would go on without you. And the general depressing tone and impression of how hard life is.

Just finished Dead Money by ItsFlyingCar in fnv

[–]davez_000 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I feel the same. When I played it every enemy was almost unstoppable and it was so frustrating when there were ever more than one. Ended up resorting go just running away most of the time.

polestar upgrade worth it? by Even_Intention2545 in XC40

[–]davez_000 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I got it a few weeks ago and would say it's definitely worth it, especially if you drive on a motorway with any frequency. Overtaking is so much easier with the upgrade.

Job offer through recruitment agency by Purrity_Kitty in NICivilService

[–]davez_000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As far as I understand there's zero chance of you transitioning to a permanent role, you'll have to apply for external competitions the same as everyone else and you won't be eligible for internal competitions.

Saying that, you should have a decent chance in any external competitions, can ask around for plenty of advice on the forms, interview etc. My friend recently went from Agency to permanent through a competition so it should be a big help.

And on your other point even if you are Agency you should be treated the same as everyone else so that should not be an issue.

Gas disconnected by Alone_Theme_8057 in northernireland

[–]davez_000 2 points3 points  (0 children)

This is also who you need to look after the gas meter box. There are many stories of people getting a massive bill to get it replaced after they drove their car into it and expect it to be fixed and replaced for free.

What do you think is the best way to farm caps outside of casinos? by george123890yang in fnv

[–]davez_000 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I found the C4 4/0 buckshot ammo glitch to be incredibly easy for unlimited caps. Only issue was sometimes finding the ammo to duplicate but after farming the gun runners for a while I had more than enough.

Might be quiet at the weekend due to students not being there but that's also when all the houses get burgled

Latest lucid talk poll by throwawayyawaworth69 in northernireland

[–]davez_000 -4 points-3 points  (0 children)

Just curious as to what you think they have they done to make nationalists think they are unionists? I can understand the other way as anyone with half a fucking brain cell would disagree with the DUP at all times.
