**** off, ape

Hahahaha.

Tbh, I often feel small an I'm 6 foot exactly! 184 cm seems giant compared to some of the posters on here haha.

Is this your house btw?

It was at a GD meetup. Quiv was also there.

He's odd. Very tall - 6'6. Made jokes you'd expect to hear of a 16 year old.

Examples?

Edit: nevermind, I skipped some pages, thought that whole post was about me

So I didnt get the promotion (adding a International Sales Manager to my current job) but the manager wants me to take on more of the work at the very least until they get someone new (role will be vacant for 4-6 weeks at least) to give me more exposure to the role. And then once the new person starts for me to take on the handover slowly until the new person gets their head around the business & the NZ sales market for the first few months. Had a feeling they'd go down this path. Do I have a leg to stand on to ask for a pay rise since I'm pretty much doing the role for the next 2 months & heavily supporting for the next 5-6 months?

 

[Jatz]

No harm in asking for one but I doubt they'd give you one. If they'd do that, they may as well have just given you the job.

Although it kinda sounds like they should have given it to you anyway.

 

[Quivorir]

"We don't want to promote you to the job, but what we will do, is let you do it for 6 weeks for the same pay you're currently on until we hire someone to do it".

I simple "get ****ed" would suffice I'd imagine.

The only adult male I know of that's shorter than Cruyff is Bruno Mars (165) and I hate Bruno Mars

The difference between taking the role on ($20-30k) and a 10-15% pay rise is still quite a saving for them. Cheap ****s

Valbuena is shorter than me. Messi roughly same height (bit more in the bank though)

Outstanding last page.

Probably because he doesn't spend so much on xmas presents

Also, definitely ask.

And Cruyff14 probably pays his taxes too

I'm his accountant so that's questionable also

Did someone also extort you for a midget sex tape?

Is Cruyff the tight prick that's not giving you the promotion?

Yeah jd2010 did.

Needs to be on fire tbh

 

[bok_party]

bok_party listen to Do You Still Love Me on headphones LOUD and marvel at it. The organ is ******* magnificent.

I love listening more intently to a song and noticing things you didn't before. Good pickup!

 

[Cooldude]

To sidetrack, I seriously do hate Bruno Mars though, if I have to make a list of the worst lyrics in a song he might just make most of the top 10

A friend was playing his new album yesterday and it's a massive steaming pile of horseshit

Trying to get as much Free alcohol tasting as I can at the airport. Tried a few expensive whiskeys on the way through. Now have ruined it by getting myself an Steinlager Tokyo Dry. What a piece of shit beer!

Atlanta season one on the flight

I strongly suggest you get yourself a pair of Bose QC35 headphones.

Your life will change.
