Pap's forever plodding... the final chapter =)

postingalwaysposting

Thanks all, we shall see if they phone back tomorrow. If not I shall ring them before I go to work.... If I appear pushy then so be it Pooky, I agree its not as if its a specific role to a store, but we shall see. The only reason I would prefer that store is because I can be down there so much quicker if overtime is needed and also there would be no need to deal with the lane late at nights. Time will tell

Still want to know what the banana man is.......

Opps, I forgot to put it in the post. This is banana man, the reason it will cost around £150 is travel/accomodation. Mum is coming too so I will need to factor in a meal out etc. It's nothing really special

Think it's a good decision Pap, fingers crossed you hear soon about the date/ store.

Well it would appear fate says I can't have the job Monday I spoke to someone and she said she would call back, she never did. I phoned Tuesday and it was engaged/no one in the office so I left another message. I then phone Tuesday afternoon and no answer. So today I phoned this morning and an answer phone again... So I left another message. This afteroon I finally got through to them but they have no details on me So will phone me back :mad: :rotfl: The problem being each day that passes is each day they can't have me because I still haven't gave notice at my present job...


Is this me being paranoid but surely a huge company such as this I shouldn't be doing all this running around I just wonder what else 'isn't' quite right

Anyways I will keep you updated :j

Pen, the running shoes aren't specifically for that as I have been running for just under 3 months now. It was mainly because I was running in wellies. I have a 5k race for life in June firstly which I can't wait to do. Not raising money on that one, will do for bananaman though

Keep plodding :j

Pap, the bigger the company the worse they are for this sort of thing!

Well done on the running - I can only manage walking twice a week (do about 3 miles a time though). We keep discussing running it but never quite get round to it.:o

Not sure what to say on this Hr team.
How can they say they have no record of you?could they not find you by the ref no on the letter they sent offering you the job?
gaaaah.

How annoying...but maybe you got through to someone who had not been in their job long and really had no idea...

Pen, If I am honest I couldn't care less but a reply to the two messages I left would be curtious. I don't know if I should phone again or not? Aww bless you I used to walk home from work (3.5miles) but never to any schedule. Everyone on the daily chat was running so in the new year I thought why not :rotfl: In Jan I could barely last 1min, I can now run 23min non stop I put off buying my trainers because I didn't want to buy them and not use them. However I am addicted now, and its free :j If you want to do it I shall pm you a forum that I use thats really supportive. However with your life I am unsure you will have the time... you are always on the go!

Beanie, it was the same lady that answered Monday and she 'pulled' my details then Unsure what to do now...

Sally, thanks but see above

I do think its bad on their part that they haven't got back to you. I would phone again and say that you are trying to sort this out as you are keen to start work but you don't seen to be getting any answers from their end! I also think you should put a time limit on it and if they haven't got back to you by x then don't waste anymore time on it. If they can't be bothered at this stage then it doesn't say much about them as an employer!

postingalwaysposting

Thanks sally I phoned them again today and left a final message. I stated that unless I recieved a phonecall/message by close of busniess Tuesday I will presume that the offer of employment has been retracted and I no longer seek employment from them. Can't do much more now, I could be chasing them for weeks!

So epic fail this week regarding my life... Money, sleep, work, environment and employment has all go to pot and I fear I am losing control. So I will tackle these now before I look back in two weeks time and post that I am in an even bigger mess. So here is the plan...

Money ~ No spending until May 15th, on anything that isn't in my SOA...
Sleep ~ In bed for 10.30 everynight, asleep by 11pm...
Work ~ Take overtime but not everything, stop picking up all the rubbish others leave me with...
Environment ~ Clean desk and floor at the end of every night...
Employment ~ Apply for 3 fulltime jobs a week and look at care work...

So the biggest is money, lets just say I increased my debt this week :eek: So I dug out my 'how I lived on a £1 a day book' (love it) and I have decided to take some drastic action! I will spend nothing until my holiday in May. Thats 45 days away... My purse is now tucked away at home and my bus card can live in my bag. Doing this will mean that I can clear Argos, pay approx £60.00 off my credit card and have £70.00 for my holiday

I will then return from holiday and see how I am doing but I fear until July's pay I will have to live on the bare min anyways. Its nothing to me though because I need no more toiletries, I need no food (CD), I need no snacks and I need no 'things'. I want to be debt free before September... I WILL be debt free by September!

Time to get serious, because my debt was/is 0%/3% I didn't really bother too much about it and I was still buying 'things' including stuff I didn't need. This has to stop or I will be still posting that I am in debt this time next year.... I don't need 'things' to make me happy and I don't need 'things' to make me feel like part of a crowd!

So from plodding to passionate plodding :j I can't change any outer influences on my life but I can change my attitude and the way I deal wth these things...

PMA & Plodding... Pap's secret weapons :j :j
