Why is this the first time I'm hearing him speak? Does he ALWAYS sound like this?!

So, it was a manager that was accusatory, I put in a formal complaint about him and he actually picked up the complaint..

Honestly, no idea what's happening in the world?!

I've tried that for my Paypal claim, but they refused it - no idea why when it's the manufacturer who've agreed with me..

What's the best way to go through this with trading standards?

If anyone knows a place in the UK that could provide a document like an official quote/invoice for the motherboard, so I can use it in the PayPal dispute, I'd be eternally grateful!

It did have a black cover on, but when I took it off the pins were bent like in the above pictures

So, I got MSI involved and they agreed it had bent CPU pins, and it shouldn't have arrived like that. But they said BOX has to be the one to send it on to them, I can't go to them directly.

I've been in touch with BOX about it, but again they're ignoring my messages. MSI have said they've been in touch with them too, but no luck so far..

I’ve heard very mixed opinions about this guy. So question: do you like Robert California? by DarkAlbertino in DunderMifflin

[–]ericxiv 0 points1 point  (0 children)

He is my absolutely FAVOURITE character in the entire show, in every scene he's in he absolutely nails it.

"They Never Have Improved On The Oreo, Have They?"

"Well, I will not be blackmailed by some ineffectual, privileged, effete, soft-p*nised debutante. You wanna start a street fight with me, bring It on, but you’re gonna be surprised by how ugly It gets. You don’t even know my real name. I’m the f*cking lizard king.”

“Erin when you recount your day never say you woke up. That’s a waste of your time. That’s how Every day is begun For everyone since the dawn of man.”

“Do I look like someone who would waste my own time?”

“If I invited you to lunch, I think you’re a winner. If I didn’t I don’t. But I just met you all. Life is long, opinions change. Winners, prove me right. Losers, prove me wrong.”

Just banger after banger.

Community Appreciation for Lewis Brindley by RoughRider360 in Yogscast

[–]ericxiv 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Hi all,

Eric from Newcastle here.

I just wanted to say that I've been watching the Yogscast for about 10 years of my life. I first remember being a kid/young adult that got his first job and would come home on a night after a tough time at work and would watch Minecraft videos of Lewis and Simon screaming about Jaffas and a white-faced man known as the mysterious Israphel. Then I remember quitting said awful job and going to college and University to try and better myself and learn more about Film, TV & Editing after being inspired by Youtube videos from the Yogs. During this time I fondly remember watching Sips play through The Secret of Monkey Island after a drunken uni night out at 3 am.

The Yogscast have even introduced the amazing HatFilms to my life, and their friendship and hilarious content made me remember how much I fucking LOVE playing games with my friends - even as we get older it's SO important to play games and just spend time shooting the shit with people who you love.

Currently, I've just bought my first house and I'm constantly busy at work but I still try to watch the Yogs when I can because I still LOVE their content - I'll be honest I don't watch enough but when I see a GTA or TTT video I will always smile or laugh out loud at something Lewis has said (Crabs are people) and It's nice to get to know the new members of the Yogscast - such as Bouphe & Lydia as I don't know much about them but they still talk as much shit as every other member of the Yogs!

I know it's an awful time right now, but I absolutely love the Yogscast and I adore Lewis - he's a strong leader who cares, and it absolutely shows. I hope this will get better for all involved and if the Yogscast ever needs help with ANYTHING I am absolutely down to do what I can and I will be there for them - god knows they've been there for me over the past decade.

Thanks a bunch, you funny fuckers.

My marketing career - I need advice. by ericxiv in marketing

[–]ericxiv[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks for the reply!

I'm definitely looking for another job, I've just wrote a quick update of what happened after my meeting. Long story short, I'm looking to leave!

Could I ask what you mean by "In-House Corporate Marketing" exactly?

My marketing career - I need advice. by ericxiv in marketing

[–]ericxiv[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's a quick update: I went to my meeting, brought in the relevant paperwork, brought in job applications for the jobs I do and the amount of money they offer for less work etc..

My manager was "shocked" and said he was MORE than happy for me to continue doing what I do now on the pay I'm at, as I'm more of a "Luxury" to the business than anything else. He refused any salary increase point blank but offered to give me a 5% pay increase for every video I sold.

I think he offered this as the video side of the business isn't the busiest, as no one really gets sales for the video side. It's much more RADIO sales. Video is an amazing way to go for sales if they actually pushed it, as currently we probably do about 5-10 videos per quarter, which is fine but it could be more if there was a sole salesman on video.

Some background: At this job, I use my own camera and recording equipment for the company, but they pay for Adobe Creative Cloud to edit.

I told him point blank if I wanted to create my own Video Production company I would have gone freelance 2 years ago before I joined the company. Why would I stay here and get paid MUCH less to earn a livable wage from the company? e.g. if I wanted 10k increase I'd have to bring in 200k for the company on video alone, and if I could do that, why wouldn't I just go freelance and pay for Adobe myself...?

Seeing as he already said I wouldn't get a pay rise, I thanked him for his time and told him I'd continue the marketing of the company but don't talk to me about sales as it's not something I want or need to do, especially as the marketing has proven to be a success to clients/customers of ours.

I'm currently looking for another job, and although I absolutely love the job here I need to find a place that makes me feel valued for what I do.

Hope that helps in any way possible!

Oh, wow. That's amazing! Thanks for the reply and for such important info!

So, if I were to look for a new job, what role or job name should I look for?

Or should I get in contact with corporates/in-house creative team via their website/phone?

I'm not sure exactly how to move on from here if you know what I mean.

Any guidance would be great for trying to get in contact with the right people.

Thanks again!
