Southernman's steps to freedom!

Don't worry, i'm on it. Got an interview next Friday!

I just thought after 2 years, i'd have more to show for my hard work other than bonus.

Alas, i'm going to have to try my luck in a department that isn't so cliquey

Good for you.

I hope it works out well.

In other news i ran for 2 hours this morning.

I have a half marathon next Sunday. I was aching so much when i came back and had to climb the stairs to my flat.

(I'm only on the second floor, someone who was moving in was hogging the lift!)

Oh God just had someone BANGING on my front door. Now i never answer my door (i live in a flat) and especially when i'm home alone. It's half 7 at night too.

They banged on four occasions in two minutes. I spied through my spy hole and it was a middle aged woman. I have no idea who she was.

She would have known i was in because my washing machine is in a cupboard by the front door. It was switched on and spinning (loudly) as my flatmate had thrown some smelly clothes in on his way out.

What would you do? I never answer the door to strangers.

She's gone now but i'm hiding in bed with Corrie switched on.

Hiya, I would hide as well x x x

Haha i hope it wasn't anything important!

Treated myself to some Chanel perfume the other day (it's a tester so cheaper)

i don't own that many perfumes really and sometimes it's nice to smell good and for it to last a bit longer!

I own Flowerbomb and Guerlain Insolence too. (that's right, in total i have 3 perfumes)

Urgh i find work so depressing.

When i mentioned to my manager that i was looking for jobs elsewhere in the company because i felt like i couldn't move forward in my current role he has put me on the back burner even more. Giving other people progression opportunities over me.

It's a lose lose situation. I spoke to my dad about it and he says it's quite common in the workplace especially 'if your face fits'.

I was in a similar position earlier in the year, I loved my job, was doing a good job too, but was told I was only promotable in 3-5 yrs:eek:

So I had to change departments which I didn't really want to do but I had no choice.

So good luck with the application.

I have an interview TOMORROW!

Eek!

You know what they say - be careful what you wish for :rotfl:. Good luck. Need to think up plausible reasons for wanting to leave current dept apart from 'they're a bunch of pigs who won't promote me' , what is it about this dept which has attracted you..........
