In just a supervisor, not even management. Still holds true

The HR team seemed a little put off when I asked what it took to get up to the next levels as I assumed the career progression was:

Fellow
Good Fellow
Jolly Good Fellow.

Really wanted that on my business card.

So they wanted to be like Google but wouldnt fully commit

And I suppose if you got to the top of the tree the job title could read 'Shits on Good Fellows'.

You sound like an "consultant" ......

If you're going to use a credit card on the dark web at least use a prepaid card... sheeze.

Well we are almost down to press gang tactics for operators so it may be a plan!

I need it to download 4k porn ASAP!!! But seriously, I don't remember using my cc in any site in a long time... correction, last time I used my cc was when I was paying for Turbo Tax.

Nah, I think they just realized that regardless of your title there is always someone that can deny...

The BBC leading on the chaos caused by the snow. One snow footage showing the obligatory cars in hedges with a shot of a Honda S2000 in a hedge!! How rare are these cars and then find one stuck in a hedge because of the snow!

Yep 15 inches can be variable as to driving though. Fifteen inches of nice fluffy stuff won't even slow me down. A month a go we had 15 inches of wet heavy sloppy stuff and it was the first time in 4 winters I could not get the car out of the driveway. In fairness neither could 4wd pickup trucks though. If it had bee nice fluffy cold weather stuff it probably would have been twice as deep but still drivable.
