Went for an Assistant Manager role at work. Gets told experience will not be taken into account, okay. Do interview, went okay, was nervous as f**k though. Get told today I didn't get the job because I'm not ready and not enough experience. What the f**k. I've been full time here for just under 3 years. Job went to a girl who's casual here, has nothing on me experience wise. She left her last job a few weeks ago because she didn't like it anymore. Comes back and works here for a few weeks and bam, Assistant Manager. f**k this place.

I wouldnt Stress about it. My missus is deputy/assistant manager at her place and she gets all the stress/bullshit but a smidge of the managers wage. Really not worth it.

Thing is, what I was doing already is pretty much what a deputy manager will be doing. For the manager to say that our experience would not be accounted for for the role (which is a load of shit anyway) and then bring up my last review as my experience to justify why I didn't get the job. Bullshit. If you were going to go by my last review (2 months ago) should have just told me not to apply. The whole "lets interview everyone that applied anyway" is a f**king cover up, there's been rumours and hints that she'd be considered for the job for weeks. Interviewed everyone to make it look fair.

I actually wouldn't mind the deputy manager role, this job is easy as f**k. It's retail, but not a big chain store. There's only 2 of our shops and I get paid £14.5k before tax to serve customer, hang clothes, tidy, answer phone calls, manage a few casual staff. After manager told me I'm not getting the job he said they will consider looking into something as recognition for my efforts and for running a specific part of the shop. I've been running that part for the last year, now they consider it after I didn't get the job. It's like they feel bad. I don't know what they think but me making orders of stock for this part of the shop that easily totals to over £10k every ~2 months with a profit return of about 4x from that £10k order sounds fairly important to me.

I am in Leeds Bradford airport waiting for the flight to leave to Belfast, where I would receive an award for the achievements of the competition

Because of the fog, the plane is likely cancelled. Im waiting here since 10...

I am not that angry, im more disappointed, as it is not the flybes faults as there is a really dense fog, but it would be great to collect the award. I have my suit ready as well!

Past 2 days have been rough as hell, topping off a rather strange month. Flatmate went crazy and decided everyone was against him, including me. He's been going crazy for weeks (with schizophrenia). I tried real hard to keep it together and remain friends with him knowing that he was suffering from mental health issues and that I was possibly his only friend left but at this point he is only able to see me as an enemy, and things were getting out of control. Time for me to gtfo. I've spent the last two evenings moving out. Need a break from life right now!

I thought i was just being a limp dick about the whole situation until i was told it was the flu!  Had to book a day of work as my glands are so swollen to the extent i cannot get my motorcycle helmet on! :(

Hope you get well soon dude!

Need to vent a bit. Been trying to work on CMS (trying to upgrade, have to make a local copy on WAMP because obviously the online upgrade just f**ked everything up once I got a dev copy of the website running) and I'm astouded by the number of problems that occur. It seems that on EVERY SINGLE STEP there is an error of some sort. It makes me wonder if all this Apache nonsense isn't deliberately designed in such a way that programmers have a job. If we can send a probe outside of our solar system or make a modern mobile phone, we should be able to create software which isn't riddled with errors throughout and a nightmare to work on for anyone other than experienced users.

Out of the initial manual upgrade manual which is about 20 steps long, there have been issues on every single step which would take about an hour each for me to overcome. Hit a brick wall towards the end and having to start over again (this time on my PC) and already there are issues which were not present on the laptop even though both OS's are the same and the local server is too.

Ah, memories. This is one of the reasons I slowly built my own CMS from the ground up – this way it only has what I need and there's no-one else's upgrade schedule to worry about. It's certainly not fit for anyone else's use, but it was born out of the frustration you're feeling.

Out of interest, what are you moving from and to?

Might be worth a call to NHS 24 for advice, your friend might need some urgent medical help if he has sudden gotten worse.

Moving from prestashop 1.5.x to 1.6.x. Update on a copy of the website on the server failed, so trying to do it locally. That worked a few days ago when performing a manual upgrade, but I couldn't get the website to run locally although the db and files were updated. I uploaded that to my VPS to see whether it would work but since WAMP uses a much newer MySQL version, the db import didn't work. I'm now trying to get a local copy of the initial website working to determine whether it's safe to upgrade MySQL from 5.1.x to 5.6.x on the VPS. Once that's done, I can proceed to upload the updated CMS and work on it until it's ready to go online. Or at least that's the plan.

Called them a few weeks back. They said all I can do is try and get him to call the helpline himself because they can't do anything without his consent. He refused.

There's specialists in the police force who are trained to deal with such people if they get out of control. I probably should've called them long ago. Crazy thing is he was kept in overnight by the Police the other night (after the neighbors called the Police due to him screaming non-stop) and they must've deemed him to be ok the next day. He definitely wasn't ok!

It's hard to feel bothered about him after what's been going on, but yes I should probably try to explain to the Police that he needs help, since they are the only people with the power to deal with him in the first instance.

The problem is that the Police aren't really equipped to deal with most mental issues. Unless the person is violent or has committed/intends to commit a crime they can't really to anything apart from keeping them in the cells overnight and trying to get a doctor out to them. Problem is that a lot of these specialists/social workers don't work 24/7 which means nothing really get done.

You can only do so much to help your friend, especially if he doesn't want it. Any parents/guardians you can contact?
