Happy Birthday

thanks for the rep

Well thats when I'm put onto the payroll for that store. I won't be working until probably the Monday.
I've just got a transfer to the Argos store down there to get me on my feet until I find a proper job.

Yeah I haven't ever been to the fringe so would be cool to catch some of it.

What you doing in Edinburgh?

Leaving to start working down there on the 30th of this month hopefully so should be moving down the week before I think.

It was a big change, Largs is only a 40 min drive so it's not too far away. Still close enough for my mum to come up and do my washing but far enough away to have some space. I spent a lot of time in Glasgow anyway for gigs and stuff so I knew it pretty well.

I was mostly at one resort - Lake Louise. I had a season pass there and worked close by. Managed to visit a few other resorts tho which was good, being in the middle of the Rockies there are plenty close by! Do you go to xscape often? Perhaps we should have some eXceem sponsored shred time!

I was the same, working part time during term and full time during summer. It sucked! But it seems to have gone in my favour, I got that new job which is nice! One of the reasons was because I had worked while I was at uni, and it was the same company. I start a week tomorrow - handed my notice in at my old place but hated it so much I didn't go back!

I tried skiing a few times when I was younger but got into boarding at uni, was in the ski/snowboard club - did you ever join? Went to Les Arcs with them in first year, pure carnage. All the uni's were at the same resort - it was mad. How was Tignes?

Never heard of them...but it's definitely good to get work experience with a relevant company these days - just a degree wont hack it! My friend just finished civil engineering at Strathclyde...we like to laugh at him for going to a polytechnic!

(this turned into an essay - so carried on in next post)

I'll be going back to Glasgow..is there any other?

I don't know if they do, if I get the job I'll stick it and see if they can offer me something part time in Sept. If not I'll probably see about going back to O2.

Do you snowboard/ski? I didn't get the chance to have much fun at uni as I was working part time for the 4 years, so it was good to get away. Managed to see a bit of the country too and see a few friends, was good fun

What are you doing over there? My best mate used to live in a flat that looks right onto the train station.

I'm from Largs originally, moved up to glasgow about 6 years ago for uni...scary to think how long ago that was. Makes me feel old How about you?

-

Yeah, Canada was awesome fun! I've considered it...but it's a bit out the way and doesn't pay too well. I'm going back to uni in Sept to I'll be looking for something part time then.

O2 was at Skypark yeah - was there for about 3 and a half years. Quite a while...it was good money and a nice place, but I had just been there so long and there was no chance of progression at all! Hence I left, buggered off to Canada and decided I want to go back to uni and do a comp science degree

I live at Charing Cross, just by the Mitchell Library

It totally is man! I was working for O2, had been for about 3.5 years while I was at uni and stuff...quit to spend a season snowboarding in Canada...came back and there's no work at all! It took me ages to get the job I'm in at the moment (Student Loans Company). I'm paid £6 an hour to sit in a room with no windows and deal with complete and utter idiots. It's embarrassing!

I've went for a job with Gamma Telecom - hadn't heard of them before but they're a telecoms company aimed towards small/medium business. Just in a support role for a new product they're releasing. It sounds pretty good

Where abouts in Glasgow you from?
