Sounds like a BA (business analyst).

My job title is Solutions Architect, although it seems my company has a rather different opinion of what a Solutions Architect should be and do to the industry standard. Generally you'd expect some kind of technical degree whereas me and another new starter actually are BA (Bachelors of Arts).

You know a job pays well when it's almost impossible to explain.

I got approval from my IT department to update to iOS 8. So let's see how it goes. I hate that it requires so much space on the device if you go with the OTA update option.

There are two meaningful grades you can get.  A First or a  2:1 means you can get a job, the other two grades (2:2 and Third) or a fail mean that except in exceptional circumstances you wasted your time going to University and you might as well kill yourself.

I can't even download it. Stays at like "6 hours remaining", and then after an hour or so, it fails.

It worked fine for me, but I had to download it from iTunes because I didn't have enough space on my iPhone and iPad to download it OTA.

Downloaded it overnight.

Already spotted a glitch. If you open a pic fullscreen in iMessage, it shows your status bar. Like this:

hah that's pretty retarded. should have waited for 8.1.

What's interesting about the new update?

I don't know whether to get a job straight away or not tbh. Gonna take like 2 weeks off and do nothing at all when I'm done anyway.

mf you did not answer my question from earlier...What are you doing your masters in?

Like a part time job or do you mean applying for jobs with your degree?

Sorry missed it - English.

Full time jobs, I've got two I could probably chase up if I wanted. It would just end up with me commuting to these jobs from home though and prospect of staying where I am forever is pretty lame.

Need to drive to Manchester to get some books from the library but cbaaaa.

What jobs are they? Sorry for all the questions I just see you as future me

I don't exactly know for sure. My sister runs a lot of the voluntary sector in the north and I did my work experience with her years ago, a woman I knew from there is setting up a new something and said I could work for her if I wanted. The other one I have no idea.

The new MLS logo looks shit.

Suits the league then.

Says the SPFL guy.

That was a tap in as far as banter goes.

If teams will do what reddit has done with the logo, I'm for it.



Kinda lo-res but I like this.

Looks like the Scots are gonna vote no. Shame.

Talk of Edinburgh being as high as 60% No, my fellow countryman.

The results seem to be very close to the UGOV poll that suggests a no vote.

You know it's a serious issue when Owen Jones is the pundit.
