Carrot on a stick

Are you from the 15th century?

I trackstand in my living room while playing on xbox 360 - could you try and work while trackstanding?

It makes games a LOT harder. I'd reccomend trying it!

I'm in the opposite position, my lab is a 20min fast ride away, so I manage to squeeze some riding time in. But once I start my job (consultancy, living out of hotels on weekdays) I won't be able to ride at all until the weekends :/

Fc9k which consultancy you going to work for? I am trying to apply to consultancy jobs....:(

Track stand while playing X box? ... Wonder what the wife will say if I do that and leave tyre mark all over the house...

I'm a student in Edinburgh and have a six mile ride to uni but today I decided to study at home, which was a bad idea cos I feel crap and have spent half the day cleaning little bits on my bike and eating crap, really missed that six mile dash today and destroying the fair weather fannies on their hybrids. It really wakes me up and much better then getting the disease riddled bus, plus I think I work better after a bit of excercise and don't have the distraction of cleaning the flat and bikes and making food and facebook et al.

Fc9k which consultancy you going to work for? I am trying to apply to consultancy jobs....:(

A small industrial consultancy. Not one of the mainstream ones, very few people have heard of it as it's fairly specialised. What sort of area do you want to go into? I can tell you what I know.

I am trying the Big Four... but been told that my CV is not likely to be read in the next six month...but I have a meeting with a lady at IMS next week

If I can I would like to stick to strategic consultancy for health care and bio tech....But in need of money so I am willing to sell my soul to any consultancy..:D

Did you have to do all the case study as well?? I have been reading and reading... and it is getting really boring....

The selection procedure for the place I got was tough, but it was all on-the-day type stuff with no pre-preparation (apart from a 5min presentation on a subject of our choice) so it wasn't too much of a hardship. Case studies are a bitch but generally I think they're looking for how you think not what you know. They want someone hardworking and dedicated who can communicate effectively. Good people skills are important in a lot of sectors too.

re- trackstanding while playing xbox 360 - in a game like GTA 4 you get very confused when you try and move your character around. Driving a vehicle on GTA 4 while trackstanding is even weirder, and in fact led to me falling off last time i tried it.

technically shoppe is a noun where as shop is a verb. its no longer the case really, but its what i does.
