Hmmm. I have just got back from a drinkies meeting with the people who are taking us over and I'm not entirely sure how I feel about it all.
The main crux of my concerns stem around a rumour that they start at 7:00 in the morning and expect all of us new bods to do the same.
It's not the hours which concern me (I currently work 8-6) but it's the hour itself and the fact that they expect one to work immensely hard. I have never been one to shirk hard work, infact I relish in it, but I am conscious of two things about me:-
1) I am not a morning person. I can barely get in to work for 8 let alone 7. If I don't get my required hours of sleep I am tired and very, very scratchy.
2) I have been there and done that when it comes to stressy hard work, so much so that my blood pressure rose to an unacceptable level. My previous employment history shows that when I am exposed to constant severe levels of stress I turn into a remarkably nasty person. I know it sounds strange bearing in mind the current me is quite a nice-ish person but I had a bit of a reputation in the past for shouting at people and making them cry (my current record is three in a row - on the phone I made a girl cry so she put me through to her boss who I made cry, who put me through to the Area Head, who also cried)
I am a smite concerned I may turn back in to the nasty MRO which I have managed to shake off over these past years and we don't want that, do we?
On a happier note I scored a student discount from Pizza Hut. 25% off!! I put it down to my youthful looks rather than my cheekiness at asking the totty if I deserved a discount for all the business I give them
Ciao!
