Seriously though, who the fuck knows he got the job because we liked the idea of working with a smoker? Him, me and Alex. None of the other candidates know, it's not like we fucking told them. We gave the job to Mike and bollocks to everyone else. That's life. | |

If we were pulled up on it, we'd have obviously said that we felt he had the right personality for us to work easily with. Noone has any right to argue with our judgement in that regard. We hardly put it in writing why Mike actually got the job. | |

Would be funny if they were somehow reading this thread and went all apeshit 'cause they found out why they never got that job 10 years ago lol. | |

Just tell them you were speaking purely in hypotheticals with no regards for the facts. Then show them this forum and they'll see that is exactly what everyone is doing. Case dismissed. | |

I think the only crime I've comitted is smoking weed, which I have already confessed to many times in writing. Good luck getting me extradited to Canada for that, JKDS. | |

I vaguely remember some philosophy class from 20 years ago where a God that was omniscient, omnipotent and benevolent was shown to be logically impossible. The clearer memory is of the poor kid in the class who was almost crying as this got laid out for us- teacher pretty much shattered his world. Pretty sure he never took another philosophy class in his life after that one. | |

The cans were full, so apart from the fact that they're bursting and splattering all over the parking lot and whoever's car was in there, there's at least some chance of someone's car getting dented, or someone getting hurt or their clothes messed up if they got hit by a flying, spraying can. | |

And regardless of whether or not it was worth trying to alert security guy to what was happening, he certainly didn't have to be such a complete asshat the whole time. I mean it was comically bad the way he was acting all tough cop when all I was trying to do was help him do what he's there to do. | |

I made a couple of very gentle taps on his window with my fingernail. If you're trying to get someone's attention I think doing it in the quietest possible way is being pretty respectful. I'm not going to stand there for five minutes and hope he looks up from his phone and sees me. If he was doing something so important, he could have put up a palm in a 'hang on please' gesture and that would have been fine. But instead he rolled down his window and showed a very disrespectful attitude by saying what I did was rude (when it wasn't, really), and ordering me not to do it like he was talking to a child. And yea, that took me by surprise and I made a little chuckle. | |

And ya, I probably wasn't expecting this guy to be a friendly character given his job, but i've dealt with a lot of security people who were ok too. In any case, I gave him two chances and he was a blatant cunt both times. Just completely arrogant. So ya, fuck him lol. | |

I don't think the pecking order thing is so relevant in UK. Some of the students kiss my ass and some of the admin type people, but it's not like I go around demanding people respect me in the bowing kind of sense. I really don't think it matters and it's all a bit contrived. | |

Ya, apart from seeming to be totally incompetent at his job, he clearly had no skills at all in dealing with people. It didn't matter who I was or whether I had what seemed like me a valid reason to interrupt whatever he was doing on his phone, he was going to be the authority in the situation, demand respect and give commands. For a moment I was willing to play along, 'cause I know the type who get a hard on from wearing a uniform (I'm sure you've all encountered them), and I generally don't have a problem with letting them have their cookie. But when he just kept being a cunt to me I couldn't take it. | |

Personally, I doubt I'd report him, but I'd be unimpressed and I'd make a mental note. I'd give him the benefit of the doubt on this occasion, we're all capable of having shit days and this could be what's going on here. But I definitely would remember and keep an eye on him. | |

Not a lot of respect for academics among non-academic staff in UK universities in my experience, as a few pompous, arrogant types give the rest a bad name. That said, that guy is typical of a UK security guard twat and I'd have picked him up on it too. | |

The apps are probably easier, but I use a spreadsheet with an identical tab for each month and a summary tab that totals the year. Each month is populated with an expected income and spend by category and then I plug in my actuals periodically to reconcile to my bank balance (yeah, I'm anal about these things). I've also got a 3-year outlook too, which means I can plan bigger purchases and investments better. | |

What exactly do you need something like that for? I've never really understood how budgeting on a basic level is a difficult task. Make sure outgoings < incomings. |
