I see you have sucessfully got to grips with the training in under 12hrs, congrats ;o)BR/BR/I hate the pub chains, as they never go for staff based on experience or attitude, stick to local pubs at least you already know that the landlord will BR/BR/a: Be friendly and welcomingBR/b: as above but will moan behind your back if you have only brought a coke and a cheap sandwich and how dare you treat his pub like a cafe.

Ugh. I'm glad I work at a small company without all of that rigamarole. I'd have to punch someone. That probably wouldn't be good for my continued employment.

Well if you were playing catch with a hand grenade...BR/BR/Years back the telecommunications company I worked for made this procedures video doing a take off on the X-Files, it was SO bad. But what was worse was we had to rewatch it once a year after that...

I usually use training days to write short stories, poems or an odd chapter or two. I get really annoyed when they interfere with a workshop.

So the most exciting part of the day was lunch then!

Good Afternoon Laney,BR/BR/A company with a history dating back to only the 1700's, over there don't they call that a startup.BR/BR/It sounds like the whole training program is a test, if you can make it through that you can make it through anything. Hopefully the real work will be more exciting.BR/BR/Thank you, for the link someday I'm gonna learn how to do that.

It sounds so unbelievably exciting, and OMG, how much more useful could it be to the real world? My sympathies!

Flowerpot · 1 year ago

oh lordy - are you going to be able to bear it? Doesn't sound too promising so far...

I hate it, hate it, hate it, how bloody condesending and patronising are they training courses.BR/BR/You will be just fine when the training is over, good luck...xx

None of that stuff and nonsense in our shop. But I did like the references to bending, by the knees, erecting via a ladder, and holding in a circle. Could this be a training programme for another type of work place.BR/Woof xBR/Have you heard from Miss Construed?
