LOL @ Weety
How does one be blatantly British? By pleasantly insulting someone? lol

Thats what us Americans think

Drink lots of tea, grumble incessantly about the weather and join any kind of queue that forms regardless of it's purpose

Back on topic: (Does this thread even have a topic? )

Awesome stuff, personally I would have gone for a more "Ochre-y" yellow, as opposed to the bright colour, as it would have probably covered over the black a bit better. Regardless, it looks ace now you've fixed it

HAHAHA What is with the National Pride in queueing anyways?

Thanks Tibbs

and i thought germans were the sheep bred ones... queing was once our major exportation...

skalk... that is really hard... let me say just one thing... we need your skill and creativity here... if that is the cause for all that silence in your threads...then i see it isn´t any wonder... please don´t give up on something that might really make a compensations for all the douchebags in your life...

and dave... now i understand (at least i think so) what makes you a bit grumpy... me i am a hot head... always have and i think this will one ultimate day provide the meand for my undoing... but heck..i don´t care... but with all that crap going on in your lifes... gosh that is how micheal douglas character from falling down must have felt... at least this might be the way i wold have reacted to such threats or treats from customers collages and bosses...

and as for weaknesses in job interviews... no one really wants to hear of your true weaknesses...what you do is take a strength of yours and creativitly let it show as a weakness... like... sometimes i am very absorbed by details... i want to get to the bottom of things and try to live out an obsession for quality... job interviews are nonsense situations... thats why you are mostly half a year on "parole" at work before the comapny truly accepts you as an employee...


and at mordian... i would have knocked my boss teeth out...as he was making bad remarcks about my then GF and now wife... and i go all charlse bronson from time to time if someone pokes on me...

Yep, that question is ALWAYS a way for them to check your BSing skills, they want to hear "My weakness is organization, however I am trying to do better all the time" or soe BS like that.

Americans don't "wait" in line for anything, we pave EVERYTHING so there is always room for 10x the parking capacity of the cars that would ever visit that store or mall. lol

lol... coincidentally we watched these stupid "funny" clips in the telly tonight...while zapping... and there was this suburban picket fences street...and the kids had a selfmade ramp and bladed and skated over it...and i said to my wife... in the US the streets are so wide that the kids can play on the street and the cars still have enough room to drive... here the kids would be been roadkill even in a oneway street^^


and that one is a very good example of ansering to these kind of questions...

other dumb questions are...:

were do you see yourself in five years from now...answer...on your chair...

or...

what is your is your addition/ why should we hire you instead of all the other fellas?
which i have no answer for atm^^

just say

"because you are such an incompetent boss sir, you need me to cover for your sorry, clueless bumbling ass, while at the same time you need it done RIGHT THE FIRST TIME on the technical side. I am all that, PLUS I'm a badass with an airbrush in my spare time"

..oh wait, sorry, that's what you say 5 years AFTER geting the damn job

hmmmm.-. actually you never know what might happen if you say this kind of peptalk on the first meeting... might be a good career move after all...

because lets face it... sometimes you are in a bar...and you ask that big blonde ...:wanna PEEEP...and it might just work...sometimes all planets form up in a log conga line and the fate just smiles at you...chances are one against a million but it might just work this time^^

HAHAHA...
Take my plasticard cutting advice Vik, but whatever you do, NEVER take career advice from me!!
I wouldn't!

the former i definatly do^^...well...when you are facing odd times and have nothing to loose...you mihgt be in a position to try out some new stuff...risk everything...when you have nothing to loose it is easy to multiply the risk...it is still zero loss^^

...rolling the hard six.

er....whut?

Dave have you ever heard of the acronym "P.E.B.K.A.C"... seems relevant. otherwise you seem to be having a "P.I.C.N.I.C"

I am familiar with PICNIC errors as well as ID.10.T errors, please explain the PEBKAC error I believe I might need to add that to my repertoire. Working in telecom for over 11 years I have seen many and have needed to write up official reports. I find that terminology like this helps me not to have to MDK consumers and co-workers. For any of you that also get stuck on conference call hell here is a little coping mechanism I implemented with my other managers. When a corporate shill keeps droning on and on with whatever the buzzword topic of the month is we would proclaim Wow That's Fantastic. Corporate shill types usually miss the sarcasm and take it to be a positive interjection from the masses, and we know that when abbreviated it becomes WTF. Its a holistic win-win situation (insert other corporate buzzword(s) here as needed) .

HAHAHA THat's great WTF, totally using that! haha

Problem Exists Between Keyboard And Chair.

Or, we use the techy equivalent
C.K.I. problem. (Chair-Keyboard Interface)

lol... i have to raise my thumb for that sarcastic way of treating those bosses^^

does anyone in the english speaking world uses D.A.U.?

Dumb Ass User?

welll i know it under dumbest available user... but in essence just that^^

At on of the big three US wireless providers I have worked for, there were customer codes, the DA code was originally used for a customer that just barely qualified for one phone without a deposit. We re-tasked that code very quickly.

I also helped to establish and train our handset repair techs, before the providers began buying costly diagnostic equipment. This meant that often you could not diagnose the handset problems based on visual cues. I began putting notes on on the RMA forms with what the handset was doing/not doing as well as what I guessed the probelm might be. My 2 oddball out of many legit diagnosis's were Demonic Possession or Gremlin Infestation. I trained all of our first round of techs as well as a large amount of managers. About 18 months later an official company memo came out requesting that Demons and Gremlins no longer be listed on any forms. It had become a widely used reason code throughout our company and the VP of operations felt it was inappropriate.

LOL...at least 18 months of not found out...^^ means no one bothered to read the forms...sum that up how much time gets wasted my stupid forms and lists...

Well, missed a night of interaction and on returning have no idea what the hell you lot are on about ………. but have to say after clearing two pages of abbreviations I have a large smile on my face

The only ones I really know of ( due to my low positioning in the company I work for manual worker) KPI and PPP which the later is the only one that has any meaning to me, the first being Managerial bs.

I find this part of my job tedious to say the least, its like they come in spieling all this gak at you, then I am like what and they say in basic neanderthal terminology and i'm like couldn't you say that in the first place

I gather in your industries there is a high call for it, however I just find baffling at times

Mind you it is nice to know the same gak happens every where in the world and together we can all raise the middle finger in unison to arse hole bosses every where


One day the LOR will take revenge for every miss treated worker and Rivet those fethers ……..

It's not revenge, LDD. It's justice......

Rise up! You have nothing to loose but your paychecks!

OK, so on a whim and Max's urging, I started playing Fallout 3 last night. The Nuka Cola machine will very likely probably be one of the next projects. Also I will be using something Vik sent me for more street/alley trash
