I'm still drunk

So. I go out to some account manager's leaving drink. I dont' even like her really. I got wasted. Someone has just reminded me that I swung someone round on their chair and nearly knocked them out. Balls. Been sick, rock up to work half hour late, can't focus, had a diet coke. not sure what else to do. I just wanna go home, get into bed and die.

God my job is crap

My job sucks big time. It's knocked my confidence so much I feel like I'm never gonna get another decent job. I'm stuck big time and I have no idea what to do. Bummer!

Overdue invoice – advice needed!

I'm in abit of a quandry and need some advice guys. I've done some work with a company who I know quite well, they've generally been pretty good and paid on time but for the past 3 invoices they've been abit pants at paying.

I've now got an outstanding invoice that is now 10 weeks overdue, I've got abit stroppy on the phone to the lady in accounts, sent numerous emails etc and nothing. Not sure what to do.

I've not threatened anything legal yet and don't really want to go down that path but what other options do I have? Never been in this situation before.

Anyone else been here before? Any words of wisdom greatly appreciated. Cheers.

I'm off to Singapore!

Woo-Hoo. Found out yesterday that I'm going to work out in Singapore for 3.5 weeks at the end of June. Work are flying out a team there to finish off a project for a client based out there. Bring it on! First time I've ever traveled with work, I usually end up going to places like Bolton and Staines...

Anyone know some cools bars/restaurants/places to visit?

Client feedback

So come on, what's the worse insult that's been thrown at you in terms of client feedback?

I've just had 'it's a bit powerpointy'

That's got to be hard to beat.

Hmmm... what to do

So I have abit of a dilema and you wonderful guys at QBN are always brim-choca-full of good advice and booby pictures so I thought I would see what you have to say about the situation I find myself in.

I left my job 2 years ago for another job, same sector (annual reports). I hated my new job. I left my new job after a year and went back to my old place on maternity cover for 6 months. They say they want to give me a full-time job, I want a full-time job because I'm sh*t scared about what's happening out there at the moment.

It's now 8pm on Friday evening. I'm the only one here, everyone else has left, I've been in early all week and stayed late all week and I feel like they're just taking the piss out of me.

But I don't know what to do! Do I give them a deadline? ie give me a contract by end of [insert month] do I carry on playing dutiful employee whilst people just take advantage.... or do I tell them to poke it (have nothing else lined up)

Ahhhhhhhhhh. I'm caught in a trap [queue Elvis]

WPP Shame

I just heard that WPP have been involved in the advertising campaign for Mugabe in Zimbabwe. Part of me is shocked but part of me isn't surprised in the least. All these huge multi-national companies are shouting about the whole CSR environmental thing and actually they don't give a shit. I work for a WPP company and frankly I'm disgusted.

Numbers

Hello QBNers. I'm working on a project and I'm abit stuck... well alot stuck actually.

It needs to combine numbers and people in some way and I just wondered if anyone has come across anything that they thought was an interesting way of dealing with numbers.

Much appreciated :-)

Lomo Troubles

I just got my first film back and the whole film is overexposed... Hmmmmm. Not sure what to do, I mean some of the shots I took were in pubs and stuff so would blatantly not be overexposed, if anything they'd be underexposed.

I've heard that they leak light (I've got a Holga) does anyone tape them up after they've loaded their film?

Food or no food

you know when you're working late and you're hungry but you don't think you're gonna be there that much longer... but... you can't decide whether to order food or not becuase you might actually end up waiting for the food instead of going home. well I'm there.

i could really go a bag of crisps to tide me over.

He's had the same style going for about 3/4 years now so I would think time for a change but nevertheless some good stuff.
