It finally happened

After 9,176 days, that’s 26 years and some months I have finally been offered a full time job! No more part time jobs, no more university, no more struggling to find a chance, that one shimmering chance of a career in these volatile financial times.

I have been sent the offer of employment in the post and received a phone call from the HR director yesterday offering me the job. Once I send the offer back signed and dated, once the references, one from Miro and one from Cosmin are validated then you shall be reading the blog of a Quality Assurance Technologist for a huge global sourcing firm. It’s a 6 months training period and then 3 pay rises in the first 18 months.

Global sourcing is the high street middle man, if Disney want to sell a product they can sell directly to Wal-Mart but then they can’t sell their products to Tesco who are a main rival so to get the best exposure for their products Disney can sell to a global sourcing firm. The global sourcing firm can then sell on orders to Tesco and Wal-Mart for competihttp://www.opendiary.com/entryedit.asp?mode=addtion rather than Disney cutting themselves into one supplier they can sell much more through us to many suppliers who are very huge high street names.

What my role will eventually involve once I pass training will be very similar to my web development consultancy. I get user requirements and test a product in line with iso standards, legal specs and user requirements so that the products get delivered on time, to the exact standard required by the supplier and the best lines get sold to the public. The HR director said that in the role you could walk into a high street store, see a product you tested and think that wouldn’t be there at all if it wasn’t for me! That is very very cool to me.

I won’t mention the company name but I am very happy. It finally happened. I was unsure at first as I could not really get much information on the company until I tried again and it was amazing. Then after my first interview the HR director took me into their showroom. This blew me away. The company is housed in a listed building. It’s just epic. I’m very excited and very happy. It’s also considerably more money than I have ever made a month. This is very good news. I am looking forward to getting in there and working very hard indeed! 

I’ve always said that I would need a job that challenged me, that changed every day. The thought of getting up to 150 different products or more to see through at any one time is very exciting. I like the idea of each day being different. This is good news.

 

So I have been on holiday at Miro’s for the past few days. I have seen my friends! It has been epic and really super sunny! Really sunny! We went to a food festival at the Lowry, Salford Quays and ate a lot of good food. This involved a lot of strawberries and marshmallows in a chocolate fountain, we ate the Harvester, which was rather mediocre, but the company was great 🙂 never eating at a Harvester again actually. Rather disappointing. We had Wild Boar with garlic and red wine, lots of sausages, epic freshly made pizza and had a lovely drink by the BBC studios at Media City. I had Cherry Cider, which was new to me, Miro had a rather epic strawberry and Eve had some scrumpy which was warm and flat 🙁 I offered to buy her another nicer cider. It was really nice to see Eve and all my friends.

This is Tom, Miro and I in the car! New hair cut! I know! Spiky! and erm some sun glasses that were found in the car.

We had a nice meal on Sunday too, I had some saffron and cray fish risotto and then an asparagus salad which had some Italian name I cannot pronounce. There was also a Godfather cocktail! It’s well yummy! It’s one of my faves!

Take some Dewars 12 year old scotch and some Disaronno Amaretto, serve that on the rocks with some flamed cherry brandy, kentucky bourbon and a slice of lemon. Miro didn’t like it, it’s quite strong but also quite sweet. It’s like drinking a litre of premium lager in a short glass in terms of alcohol content.

The Godfather – Doin’ it right tonight ya’ll

Then after the food and alcohol, we went… no biggie to see…

Oh yes, after nearly two decades of waiting I finally got to see Eddie Izzard! The greatest stand up I have ever seen! Absolutely hilarious. Miro and I are still quoting the 3 tenets of facism.

• Make something up/Lie
• Shout it really loudly
• Kill people

Very true that! Was just a trully epic show! Really worth the wait! Best Xmas present ever! Thank you Miro-san! 

Yesterday we went to see Wigan Athletic play against Swansea City. Miro is a huge Wigan fan and they face relegation from the premier league now. They lost due to a couple of silly mistakes but I would say they were definitely the stronger team.

It was weird as there was thousands of Wigan fans and literally 200 Swansea fans, they didn’t even fill one block of the full away stand. However being Welsh people in England they got a lot of stick. There is something about 8000 people chanting Sheep Shagger at 200 Welsh people. Then the chants of England! England! England! came out and I must say that as Eve is Welsh I took a completely neutral stance and instead made fun of the fact they were outnumbered 16000000 to 1 in the stadium.

Tom was extremely happy that the Female lineswoman in the premier league, Sian Massey was at the match and taking care of the side of the pitch closest to us.

This is Sian Massey

This was Tom.

So we all had fun, except maybe Miro who is upset that his team may be relegated to play in another league which means less money, less expensive players, less exciting teams etc and that the Manager he loves may go to another team. Maybe Everton? who knows?

Tom and I are Liverpool fans and so didn’t really care who won but we were supporting Wigan. We even bet £1 each! And lost! WOOOO!

Today, Tom and I are going to hang out as Miro has work to do and this will involve watching some violent films with Tom. Also, very soon I hope we get to the Cinema, Eve and I as there are a large number of films that I want to see! It’s going to be sweet. Also I miss her.

Happy days.
