One of my projects is at Heathrow.. but I dont have a company vehicle to get there yet

We've got the whole household in the garden preparing for planting peas, repairing the new turf and a little bit of bike prep too.

Off to the garden centre shortly so I'll probably force a cake and coffee break then. Very important.

First day in the new job went great. Smaller team than I thought, I'm the 3rd team member, and much more variety to the projects too. Some quite interesting stuff has been thought up which may be coming my way!

Happy Days!!!

2 years since our Lucy's Tea Room meet up with Jack

Weird gps speed glitch there though!

Here's a video from the rocketship with the DJI motor.. this is my last comment about mountain biking before I get booted from this forum

Fair play that really does look the nutz!

Well that statement makes me more intrigued 😂 My Managers Manager is going to come back to me at the start of next week with whether what I've requested will come to fruition. I requested to immediately begin training my colleague to do what I do or I leave, having explained that if that doesn't hap...

I'm looking forward to a day of mountain bike riding tomorrow with a big group. Should be a day of laughter and well paced exertion. Can't wait to push my boundaries

What is it you do for work @StMarks?

Bloody hell.. all that prep for nothing.

I went to see my Boss' Boss and hear what he had to say about it all. His story is very different. Apparently he told my Boss to consider the implications on the business if I stopped working on my project tomorrow, end of march or end of the notice period. My Boss then straight up lied to my face a...

Happy belated birthday!!

So frustrated. Handed my notice in, I asked if there was flexibility in my notice period (3 months), my Manager asked when I wanted to leave, I gave a date (6 weeks instead of 12), he agreed and said "leave it with me". 2 days later he tells me I have to work my full notice due to "th...

Fantastic! Hopefully more valued there too! Congrats Mrs Kwacky!

That's a shame.. I'm not sure I know what she does but hopefully something better comes along!
