The last place that I worked the SLA was one week to provide a login for new starters.

Easy life. One place I worked my line manager phoned me up to tell me I had a logon ...

... 2 months after the contract had finished.

Then a month later, phoned again, querying why he hadn't seen a time-sheet from me 'for a few weeks'.

threaded in "doughnuts" mode

That would be a very prudent thing to do

Ooo. Good idea.

[Redcar]

apparently having moderators on a site is potentially worse than none legally

i dont post on mumsnet

why are your emoticons all over the side on top of other stuff

surely you are all well able to have your forum tidy

You use FireFox, don't you.

Or a notebook.

You obviously don't work in IT then.

The last place that I worked the SLA was one week to provide a login for new starters.

A few years ago I had one of those interview-on-Tuesday-start-on-Wednesday gigs. The IT department moaned that they hadn't been told to expect me, and it would take two weeks to set up a user account for me

They'd forgotten that the boss of the team I was in had the "access all areas" code for the keypad locks. Three minutes later we were in their office in the basement (which really was like the IT Crowd office, but smaller) where we caught them all playing CounterStrike

After a round of introductions, my account was active by the time we'd gone back up to the third floor

no

i am just me

but mn is a site managed by market driven aims

i think it is nice you are a site that is among friends

thats why i posted tbh

you sounded friendly

you only mix as another site with mn to be journalised..it is what their agenda is

[TykeMerc]

Is this someone trying to impersonate Scotspines parting posts technique? The similarities are noticable.

[Zippy]

no you up your forum to play with mn is viral marketing

mn are pretty much your model for advertising

That's not a good thought. We just like to take a holday sometimes and skiing in Klosters is not an optiion for a lot of us.
We are actually a fun bunch of people who occasionally go out and get pissed together IRL.

selling something er no

[ztt]

no worries

i dont have time to post on forums much now

i can stand being flamed but i suspect i am a bit too nice for flaming

in fact flaming i have never had afaik

[Zippy]

Are you selling something ztt?

[doodab]

tho i guess maybe contractors are a bit airy fairy rather than hands on

We can be very hands on as long as you're suitably MILFy.

[ztt]

im an innocent bystander

as in jim morrison

its viral marketing

so not mn

third party balhbalh

thought you sounded quite cute and mnish is so was curious enough to come and see

at least you chat not like av forums where they are quite honed on their product..but good for that if you want to buy somethin g

[Zippy]

who are you scoring me you or the techiu peoplei like this one too

so have to cultivate some people who have such things

tho i guess maybe contractors are a bit airy fairy rather than hands on

I think you may have peaked too soon there but no matter.

It is fun here, but be prepared to be flamed. Frequently. Apparently the museli munching earth mothers are after us.

Oh dear! It's a bit early to start trolling, n'est pas?
