06:09.40 | morsing | Textile industry? :) |
06:11.51 | Leeds | well, clothing, I suppose |
06:13.18 | morsing | Anyway, I can't really recommend you since I haven't worked with you... |
06:13.36 | Leeds | hah |
06:13.47 | morsing | Leeds: Anything I need to ask at the interview today? |
06:14.14 | Leeds | why don't you hire perm staff? |
06:14.21 | Leeds | why the hell are you using AIX? |
06:19.34 | morsing | Leeds: Can you be serious? |
06:19.40 | Leeds | rarely |
06:20.37 | morsing | Another thing: I thought an ltd company had to have at least one other shareholder than me? |
06:20.43 | morsing | But I'm the only one |
06:21.40 | Leeds | I thought it did |
06:22.08 | morsing | Nice |
06:22.31 | morsing | And according to my book, the company address must prominently display the full company name |
06:22.43 | morsing | Which I don't intend to do... |
06:22.47 | Leeds | not sure about that |
06:23.03 | Leeds | a lot of people use their accountants or homes as their official address |
06:23.57 | morsing | Indeed - so I have to hang a massive sign in my street... Not the best, I'm already unpopular |
06:24.17 | Leeds | why are you unpopular? |
06:24.20 | Leeds | did people meet you? |
06:24.39 | morsing | I stopped the bin-men from collecting the bins |
06:24.51 | morsing | Got anonymous notes and stuff |
06:24.51 | Leeds | why did you do that? |
06:24.56 | morsing | For fun |
06:25.48 | Leeds | right... |
06:26.58 | morsing | How's your job btw? |
06:27.10 | Leeds | not started yet |
06:27.24 | morsing | What is it? |
06:28.56 | Leeds | Solaris admin |
06:29.36 | morsing | At SUN? |
06:35.07 | Leeds | no, of course not |
06:35.20 | morsing | Nice - SUN's a good company |
06:37.31 | Leeds | seems to be a better company now than it was |
06:41.41 | morsing | I hate phoning in sick |
06:43.35 | Leeds | are you sick? |
06:51.05 | morsing | No - interview |

09:40.22 | bilarh_ | oh no, here it is |
09:41.43 | bilarh_ | ok, bearing in mind that i don't know squat about aix, is this correct english: |
09:41.52 | bilarh_ | Main technical expert on our two AIX clients, Nisa Todays and DeLaRue, running mainly on P690s and p570s. |
09:42.11 | bilarh_ | "on our" sounds wrong |
09:42.29 | bilarh_ | and just 'running', not 'running on' |
09:43.38 | bilarh_ | 'implementing requested changes on client systems', perhaps, as otherwise you're implementing changes to systems requested by clients, i.e. it's referring to the wrong noun |
09:44.14 | bilarh_ | and as you're still at your present company, it should be "ensuring reliable backups *are* running ..." |
09:45.00 | bilarh_ | morsing? |
09:46.25 | goibhniu | bilarh_: isn't the economy crashing today? You said thursday ... right? |
09:47.07 | bilarh_ | i also said i was probably wrong and you should do your own research :_ |

09:47.37 | bilarh_ | but i still don't think everything is rosy in UK Plc |

14:13.28 | hali | retail sucks |
14:13.33 | hali | investment banking in the right bank is the way to go |

14:15.28 | bilarh_ | imo |
14:15.36 | wethrin | morsing: working from home today? |
14:16.04 | bilarh_ | plus if you work for an investment bank you're more likely to lose your job than in retail banking :-) |
14:16.42 | hali | bilarh_: better software as in connect direct? ;) |
14:17.53 | bilarh_ | no, as in more stable stuff :) |
