I am so tempted to put "that was careless, can you remember where you last saw it"
but that would be mean.
Don't know about new jobs but if i was you I'd ask cal if that company he is at need an in-house musician, cos that Canada place looks very nice.
Sorry to hear that Perci..

What a bastard - not you Perc. Just what you need on a Friday afternoon.
It's cool, the main problem is that i still have to study, so i need part time work, that
pays around £90 a week, just to get me by.
Hmmm, i guess. But i've been fired from this one, so references aren't gonna
be great are they?
This bottle of vodka in my room is now looking attractive...
I called in sick on a sunday, they didn't believe me and gave me a hard time.
So when i was still ill on monday, i didn't bother calling, and i just called
and said "so am i still working tonight" they said "no, you are not working tonight
and can we have our shirts back please?"

They can't just fire you!
Sooooo, if anyone has any good ideas?
Posted by
RUSS, 15:40, 5th March 2004:
i make them right, i bet you wasn't really sick
Yeah, get off yer arse and find a new job.

No, they can't do that at all - did you have to sign a contract to work there?
I'm an ex bar and restaurant manager, and had to do all contracts and appraisals.
Unforts not...
and i was actually ill, fucking proper migrane, i could hardly get out
of bed, let alone work 5 hours behind a busy bar.

donnie, 15:42, 5th March 2004:
was it cash in hand?
No contract = Not a leg to stand on. (Nae luck)
No, they had an accountant for tax and stuff,
just didn't have a contract
"Sooooo, if anyone has any good ideas?"
well i just got an email from speeddater.co.uk
they've just started doing sugar daddy and toyboy nights...
great, but how does that help Perci?
an employee is entitled to a contract of employment in writing within 90 days of start of job. there are rules as to what particulars it must include

RUSS, 15:46, 5th March 2004:
tip....... go to work no matter how shit you feel, if you are really ill then the boss will send you home, then you call in sick the next day and they belive you.
i don't think i had that job for 90 days...
Posted by
donnie, 15:47, 5th March 2004:
sorry fella, your buggered there!
find another bar! Or restaurant, the tips are better
I don't think they would have sent me home though, do you KNOW what
it's like working in a pub round here?
well then yr stuffed. plan b go to speeddating and promote yrself as a toyboy??
Posted by
RUSS, 15:49, 5th March 2004:
no i dont know what it is like to work in a pub round here cause i dont know where you are!!
I would rather do something like part time office work, that pays twice as much
as bar work, and i can do it standing on my head.
poooo pansy place. you wanna try working in a bar in peckham!!
i mean somewhere near guildford, in surrey.
well speak to someone at a temp agency.
Peckham, as in near new cross, and camberwell?

WarHead, 15:50, 5th March 2004:
Sign up with some agencies if you want office work.
in that case get yr ass down to reed or whatever they're called these days. stuffing envelopes beats mopping up sick, i guess
yeah, but AD, you work in peckham?!?
I thought AD didnt work?!
cus if you do then that would be weird, i spend a load of time in that neck of the woods
me work in peckham?? i wont even drive through peckham
but i had a friend who worked in a bar there briefly. he was a hard nut and he was intimidated
Really? i've never had a problem there, a friend of mine had a gun pulled
on him at New Cross Gate station though!
I thought so. You DJ'ing yet?
i cant at the moment. its all v complicated. but soon
How can you afford to live then without cash coming in? I only ask as Perci might be able to do the same thing.
How can you not DJ yet?
Have you had your DJ permit revoked?
Have you perforated an eardrum?
Have you an inadequate supply of fosters?
Have you got a job involving Hoooooge Turbochargers?
lol!
thats not for public consumption!! ; )

Wot? fosters?
Ok, so.... looks like it's temping agency for Tom :)
Cheers for your help guys, and keep your eyes and ears open,
especially for music jobs ;)
Yeah, don't fret about not having any references.. just give them someone who sounds responsible's number and get them to be yr reference..
Hehehe, who on here would like to be my reference?!

Uma, 16:52, 5th March 2004:

Kinda unlicensed pub thingy, IIRC

Exactly - so it's hard to prove that you didn't. QED

Like 'pub' started out as places black people would gather socially in the townships, but now, post-apartheid, it's just ever so trendy-lefty to go to them

Uma, 16:58, 5th March 2004:
...but they *do* have a great atmosphere

No problem with that, thanks for asking

Oooh, I'm from near Guildford, where did you work Perclissigi?
Bar Zuka and especially the Weatherspoons are always hiring bar staff, try asking in those 2 during the day.
I would tell you where i live, but then someone could track me down...
I worked at a pub ih the town where i live, but i go to ACM (above 'spoons)
and i'm in spoons every day, so wonldn't want to work there, but zuka might be a
laugh, i'm moving into guildford in sept anyways, so now would be as
good a time as any :)

WarHead, 20:49, 5th March 2004:
Apropos nothing, we have an office in Guildford.
Posted by
Brock, 20:52, 5th March 2004:
And if it helps, we don't. So at least you're safe from working at the hole that I do.
Welllllll, Good news, i found another job, start on monday, working in a deli/catering place
in my home town. Very very very good food, all i want to eat, free lunch, better pay,
don't have to work evenings, and i can do my 18 hourss a week in 2 days, as opposed to 4 like i
did in the pub!
Losing that job was the best thing that ever happened to me!
But right now i'm going to bed..
(I know it's early but i was up all last night worrying about shit)

You don't want to worry about that. Trust me. Just flush the blighter.

WarHead, 21:40, 10th March 2004:
Yay - I love it when something good comes from something bad. Sounds like the ideal job, really, with all that free good food, since students are notorious for eating poorly.
Congrats.

Students eat badly?! I could put most students shame I'll have you know
Put most students shame where?
