It’s almost 2 and a half years since I graduated from the LPC. Granted most of the people who were lucky enough to secure a training contract have now qualified or are on the verge of qualifying.
The reason for this post is, I was part of a few girls who hung around together as we were in the same tutorials and got along, or so it seems. One of the girls definitely was against me, probably from day one of talking as she didn’t like me or was just jealous. I don’t know. Anyways during the LPC we would talk and were ‘friends.’ Since the electives we didn’t speak much as the girls I hung around with were in different groups. This girl really did not like me. Most of the comments were full of general bitchiness. Since leaving the LPC I avoided her like the plague. Every text was left unanswered and soon enough she stopped.
I hadn’t seen her since the LPC. Then I saw her at a restaurant on Sunday. Worst. Feeling. EVER. I was with my cousin and was extremely fake to her. We talked about general work etc and then she went in for the kill ‘oh I’m qualified.’ That BITCH. I bet she was waiting to see me to say that or at least waiting to find someone to make them feel little. I still hate her and unfortunately replied to one text message the day after. I’m waiting to avoid her again 
If she was nicer about it, I would have congratulated her or something. I know a lot of people who have done this to others as they like to brag. Is it really necessary?! Would you do that to someone you didn’t particularly like?
Family fun festivities. Happy Diwali and Happy New Year 
Bianca Woffard is suing Apple over her 3G iPhone performance. She claims that “In essence, Apple knowingly and intentionally released what it called a system software ‘upgrade’ that, in fact, made hundreds of thousands of the Third Generation iPhones (sic) that were exclusively tethered to AT&T data plans ‘useless’ for their intended purpose.”
I can’t disagree with that, at all. My 3G is also annoying slow and doesn’t slide when pronpted by say a phone call.
She claims the update has rendered the iPhone 3G and 3GS as “useless” and has given iPhone users the need to buy the new iPhone 4 because of it. I can definitely agree with the 3G being close to useless since the new iOS4 update. Check out the full lawsuit here!
I can’t wait to see how this is resolved.

Where I work, the office hours are 8am-8pm. The shifts range from 8am-4pm, 9am-5pm, 10am-6pm then the dreaded 12pm-8pm. Obviously you can work extra if need be (and most of the time, it is a must). I always am at work for about 8.30am when I am on 9am-5pm. If I am on the later shifts I always try and be at work at least 30 minutes before my shift starts.
As stated previously, I have now joined a new team. All of our clients are based on Internet recommendations and for friends/family of the company also. There are only three of us on the team; the operations manager, team leader and then me.
We have recently just gone fully interactive online. Literally all of the signed documents we need such as terms of business, contracts, transfer deeds, mortgage deeds, are all available online for the clients to download sign and return to us. Obviously full instructions are put on each clients unique site to avoid errors.
We have been advertising this enhanced service whereby clients can email between 8pm and 10pm and it will be answered. When I was first asked to do it, I said no. I can’t imagine having to log onto my laptop with remote access to make sure I answer someones email. The initial idea was to answer in a basic manner so that say a Blackberry would be ok to reply with. However this hasn’t quite worked out and it has turned into a full email conversation lasting longer than expected. The cover is basically the team leader and operations manager dealing with this 5 nights a week and they share the weeknights between them so they either do 3 or 2 nights a week.
My team leader will be away early next year for two weeks. Therefore I have been asked to trial out this enhanced service so I get used to it whilst she is away. I *really* don’t want to do it. My team leader literally has no life, all she does is work and talk about her cats. I’m not saying I have this grand life once I leave work, but once I leave work for the evening I do not want to bare the thought of having to reply to emails until 10pm after.
They fully know my view on this but with the team leader being away, I can not say no. My life isn’t just work work and work. I do not want to be a workaholic at all or have a burden on me once I leave the office to ensure I log in later.
Am I being reasonable in my thinking? HELP!
If you know me, you will know I love the Apprentice with a passion. I’m so glad they have changed it to a winter schedule so I can never miss it
I also love these lego YouTube vidoes of who was eliminated every week, genius!
