Originally posted by eek View PostFlight was cancelled - ensured I was at the front of the queue so I'm on the 16:20 flight home rather than the other options which I suspect for some poor sods is the 22:00 to Leeds Bradford.
Already filled in my Resolver case for the cancelled / delayed flight (I think its €400 so worth complaining about) and remembered to do a previous one for a similar screw up earlier this year...
Blackpool tomorrow for the court case regarding that incident back in Septembermerely at clientco for the entertainmentComment

TEKSystems put their newest and greeenest pimp on the phone to me - he seemed really put out when I didn't want to spend time having "a chat" around "the kind of role I'm looking for and my future expectations" followed by wanting to know lots of stats about ClientCo and who the permie managers are... He didn't get too far into that, seemed pretty narked when I asked him to call me back when he had an actual contract.
Perhaps I'm just dealing with a better class of pimp these days but the fishing seems to have eased off a bit lately.Comment

Had a text message earlier from a UK number I didn't recognise. It contained a google voice verification code. Two minutes later my phone rings with a number from Washington DC. I don't answer the call, but google it. It's the phone number google call you from when they want to hear the verification code so they can link a number to your mobile. Turns out that this is a popular scam among Craigslist and ebay scammers who quote a google phone number as the one to contact if anything goes wrong with the order. They take the money for a sale, don't deliver the goods, the buyer then phones the number and it redirects to your mobile.
So I reported the number to O2 as a spam number. 4 hours later I get two more texts, quoting the same google verification code, but from two different UK mobiles. Reported them too. Grrr.…Maybe we ain’t that young anymoreComment
