Jake Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 /trevormcdonald on Shock within the IT industry as employer agrees to take on Jake... /trevormcdonald off Yes its true, I'm as astonished and amazed as you all are, but incredibly (after what I thought was a quite poor effort at an interview day by me) its turned out that another school has decided that I am the right (or should that be the lesser of the candidate evils) person for their job. Now I am hoping that I am good enough to actually pull off this new job, the technical task given during the day really hit my confidence at the time as I suddenly thought that I didnt know as much as I should do and at that point I was certain the position was going to an internal candidate. Somehow I turned it around, or maybe it was that wedge of £50 notes I passed across the interview table
elsiegee40 Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Congratulations Jake! When will you start? It must be good to know you're on the move! I'm really pleased for you
FN-GM Posted December 3, 2008 Posted December 3, 2008 Jan 5th, new year, new job ! Start my new job the same day
contink Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Indeed... congrats... Time to write a new chapter and drop the old one into a locked box..
Jake Posted December 4, 2008 Author Posted December 4, 2008 Thanks all, just nervous now about whether I can do this job or not. Its kind of a step up in terms of technical knowledge, so might have to spend christmas swotting up if I am going to be able to do it properly
witch Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Congrats Jake: I hasn't been the same without you! I know you have already had pompoms from elsiegee, but:
john Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Back in the cage! Boy have I missed saying that at times
witch Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 Back in the cage! Boy have I missed saying that at times Me too! We may have to devise new and devious methods of keeping him caged!
elsiegee40 Posted December 4, 2008 Posted December 4, 2008 I was kind of relieved when Jake got involved in the 'Which dress?' thread a few days ago... it wouldn't have been the same without some comment from him! Happy New Year Jake!
Jake Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 I have actually noticed that nobody seems to shut the windows in this cage room, and with winter being here its getting quite chilly in the evenings.... so if anyone wants to come into the cage and warm me up, that'd be fine with me
TechMonkey Posted December 5, 2008 Posted December 5, 2008 (edited) Well if you insist, but any wandering hands & you're face gets slapped. ...... Sorry, ermm, football, kebab, Birds, beer, chainsaw. Ohh and congrats Edited December 5, 2008 by TechMonkey

Jake Posted December 5, 2008 Author Posted December 5, 2008 Well it was mostly monopoly money, but I printed it on a high quality OKI so I dont think they noticed the difference Just got to work the rest of my notice period here now and then start at the new place in the new year. My current NM (Disease on these forums) is sorry to see me go, at least thats what he says when I am around... no doubt he is partying about it when I am not looking
