Not really a music blog nor about someone recognising me from some dodgy old photos that are floating about but just had to share because...
Some of you know that Ive been having a bit of a crap time with my job [2nd/3rd line IT support]: the pay was well below my market value, I wasnt happy with some of the team Im a part of and there was some bullying going on that I was trying to raise with my team leader for about 5 months but nothing was done.
It came down to that on Monday, I had to tell all this to a Service Manager [the customer] and that I couldnt work for them any longer because of it. She asked me not to quit and she would get something done.
She sent me emails and text messages over the next couple of days that almost sounded like a GF begging me not to leave [I have one that says: "I dont want to loose you"]
Now its Friday and the result is that everything I asked for/said I didnt like about the job/team has been given to me/changed and Ive been told Ive pretty much got a near £10k pay rise in the bag.
The only demand that they knocked me back on was that I asked for my own gold painted midget to accompany me on every job.
Im so relieved [going to the customer could have badly backfired] and overwhelmed that the level of appreciation that has been shown to me in the last week for what I bring to the job.
At the moment, I have an incredibly smug grin across my face. 
Hope you all have a good weekend! | |

Man with the golden gun would be a better base for a parody.
This unhelpful hint brought to you by Tesco's.

Zanf said: "Also, with the bullying issue, I had spoke to my line manager [who works for the IT company] about every 2 weeks about it but was brushed off with shit like, "Come on, you're all adults. Cant you all sort it out amongst yourselves?". It wasn't me getting bullied but this other guy who was doing the lionshare of the bullys work but not getting the credit for it. The bully was also screwing with his head and creating ructions in the team through him.
The bully also talked a lot of shit to this other guy in the team, for instance, last friday, he said that the client was dissatisfied with my performance and was making moves to get rid of me. "
fuck that guy. people like that should be shipped to the siberian steppe and left to rot. they are responsible for everything shitty in the world.
