Going Awolish (cool word, huh?)

Post by Root »

Just to let you know, I finally got a full-time job, which is why I haven't been on the forums much recently and won't be for the foreseeable future. I also won't be available to take part in any Tube Challenges, be they major or minor. If anyone wants to use my apartment to stay the night before a Challenge, that's still fine, but I won't be able to provide support throughout the day.

However, at least I might finally be able to afford a computer of my own, in which case I will probably be around more :)

That's all... http://www.terratek.co.uk/ if you're interested in where I work now.

Congratulations on your new job Ollie! I hope that you find it enjoyable; it looks somewhat technical to me.

Surely they give you holidays though? And holidays mean time to do tube challenges. :wink:

Congrats on the job Ollie, but how do you think the rest of the working population fit tube challenges in......?

Of my 25 days leave allocated this year I have taken 4 for tube challenging...try explaining that one to the other half when there are chores that need attending to at home :?

I am well aware that I have holiday available... but I don't think it would go down too well if I start taking time off for that so early in my employment.

Make sure you take your entitlement for the year though I know a lot of people that don't. I guess pro-rata would give you around 6 - 10 days depending on your total allocation and you don't have to tell your employers what you are taking leave for :wink:
