Congratulations BornunderSov.

[Bornunder Dutchess]

I've landed a new job! :)

[Poledriver]

How many burgers do you have to flip each day? :grin:

But seriously, well done! :clap:

[garythesnail]

Do tell . . . . . what's the new job entail? Are we in 'dream job' territory or 'it'll do for now' or have you had a big hike in responsibility (and wages;))?

"LLongyfarchiadau" :clap: as we say down our way when speaking in hyroglyphics ;)

[Simply Si]

well done girl! i take it your singles aint selling to well now after your antics on big brother?

[Bornunder Dutchess]

Yeah I called time on the musical career for now to concentrate on my day job.

Its close to dream job territory, the same job that I am doing now which I love but with more freedom, bigger accounts and I'll be sort of taking over running the UK side of the company which is awesome. A huge step up in wages and responsibility..So...Im a little bit excited...little bit terrified. :) :)

Lol, I've got a few of them, it really makes life easy :)

[Bornunder Dutchess]

Yeah! If they ever got rid of them I would defnitely be fired...they would work out sooner or later that Im on a massive 4 year long blag and dont know what Im doing :)

[kinggareth]

Oh I like to think I know what i'm doing, I've just trained them all up to lie and deceive for me and keep me out of trouble while i waste time on t'internet.

Have you ever thought your new boss may own a BRM ?

[garythesnail]

Yeah I called time on the musical career for now to concentrate on my day job.

Nice . . . . errmmm . . . . .hummmmm

. . . . . . and what's involved in the new job again? I'm none the wiser - have we got a "what we do for a living" thread on here? If not - we'll have to start one . . . . . because I'm a nosey bar steward :)

Nose away..Im still figuring out the finer details of what my job involves...two weeks ago I finally learned how to use our databse correctly, which all seems a bit redundant now Im putting my notice in and moving on up.

The proper title is now Account Director (I know this because its on my business cards) and I work for a promotional merchandise company.

As far as I can gather so far it pretty much involves lots of going out for lunches with clients, being nice to the people who have budgets, along with playing with gadgets and toys and deciding if my clients would also like to play with them...maybe enough that they might buy a few thousand here and there and print their logo on them.

I also do boring stuff...like answering e-mails...writing creative briefs (the objective appears to be to fill pages with bull poo and corporate buzz words like "demographic" and "proactive") essentially I manage the promotional merchandise campaigns for my clients, source and buy merchandise, manage the print and look after my clients brand integrity... Badly.

However one skill I have gained is a freakish knowledge of promotional pens, there are like, 27 thousand types of pen and I can recognise most by sight...Im sure you will agree its a talent. ;)

[garythesnail]

So you convince people to buy stuff that's no use to them, then get them to pay you more to print their company name on it . . . . . . . all so they can give it away to people who don't bloody want it!

Seriously though - I think 'sales' is very much 'your thing' and I'm sure the job suits you down to the ground and that you will do well.

As for the ability to recognise 99% of the different pen types by sight - definitely a talent, bordering on being a super-power:super:

[BRMark]

Get us some theBRM.co.uk pens for free now!

[garythesnail]

Good shout El Gringo. . . . . .



. . . . . . . but will the duchess rise to the challenge . . . . . . . . ?

[BRMark]

The amount of free work she's had done on her car I'm guessing she could sell sand to Arabs!

[Poledriver]

Dark Green with an Orange band would be nice!

[Simply Si]

yes but look at how sov looks and then look at how you look mark. when your great looking like bornunder its only fair she should get free stuff, however, when we look like mark, we charge extra! lmao:chair:

[BRMark]

I think me and you can be friends! :laugh:

I will retract this statement unless you get me COD MW2 for the 360 for a tenner. :shoot:

[Simply Si]

looks like its about to become a retracted statement!

[Simply Si]

£28.53 to you sir.

[Bornunder Dutchess]

I could indeed get some BRM pens...I'm sure it would be no problemo.

Does anyone here have the BRM orange logo as an image file?

And as for selling sand to the Arabs...it takes somone special to convince the Arabs that they should pay extra to have their name written on the sand before they buy it ;)

Thats it really..along with a bit of designing, negotiating buying prices for large volumes of tat, and making sure no one f*cks up.

Mainly though, I read wierd news on the internet and play games, go to lunch and be late.

[BRMark]

£28.53 to you sir.

[garythesnail]

. . . . . and making sure no one f*cks up . . . .
