Rusevelt Posted November 15, 2015 Report Share Posted November 15, 2015 (edited) But why was it going too fast? My bad about the Kenya massacre. This happened a few months back. Edited November 15, 2015 by Rusevelt Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jolfa Posted November 16, 2015 Report Share Posted November 16, 2015 (edited) The head tenant of the house share we live in told us last night that her sister wants her (our) room back, and as such we have to find somewhere new to live within 3 weeks, which is pretty toilet, especially because she could have told us this 2 weeks ago! Sounds like an excuse anyway, there's been a shitty air in the house for weeks, no idea why, I'm actually kinda relieved we're going.

Skoze Posted November 17, 2015 Report Share Posted November 17, 2015 Pretty livid, get the feeling i've lost out on some work after getting properly stitched up by the people running the interview yesterday. Got asked to do a 20 minute lecture/ seminar with some degree-level graphic design students about Marcel Duchamp and whether his work affected modern-day art and design or not, prepared a really good plan for a proper good discussion and brought in loads of arguments within modern graphic design and tied it all up, get there yesterday morning "oh, they're not in yet... let me go find you some students" She then turns up with 10 A level students on a technical textiles course. Needless to say, 0 engagement, no shits given, and a wall of blank faces who had no interest in art at all. Didn't even know who f**king Damien Hirst was. Time to move on...

JD™ Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 The odd thing is that this part of the year normally feels more busy than the summer time when all the people who still ride are riding. It's a shame, but I guess it's always inevitable with other platforms that newer riders will use and older members dropping off over time.

Pete.M Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 The new "new content" feed kind of dulls the experience by letting you see people's posts immediately. I like to use the "condensed view" so that I still have to go to the effort of opening threads to see what people are saying. And I'm pretty sure it doesn't show everything, like if there's been a bunch of posts in one thread it sometimes only shows the most recent one, or am I being silly?

dann2707 Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 I know what I do, I come on and see that no-one else has posted so I avoid posting entirely myself. Is trials dying out entirely as I rarely see vids of friends on facebook anymore compared to what it was used to be like even a year ago?

*gentlydoesit Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 It's easy to come and go in trials though. Parts break relativly easily and are expensive, injuries are inevitable and the learning curve is one of the hardest in cycling. I think I'll only give it through next year (if i can repair myself) before throwing in the towl, unless some magic happens. But don't worry though, I'll stick around preaching vape gospel through tf :p Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ross McArthur Posted November 18, 2015 Report Share Posted November 18, 2015 Even Facebook is going the same way. One of the only reasons I use Facebook is for Trials/general biking/BMX material. All it is now a days is terrorist shengis. I'd be interested to hear from Tarty about how quiet/steady the trials world is...

TrialsIsHard Posted November 27, 2015 Report Share Posted November 27, 2015 Applying for internships is tedious, it also seems nobody can design a decent application page either. Don't ask me how my degree is graded, (ie. 1st, 2:1, 2:2) then demand I also provide my Grade Point Average, I don't f**king know. Anyone hold a major roll in an investment bank and fancy taking me on for 10 weeks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Spending a day on an application to get a rejection within hours. stick it out, email smaller boutique firms and then make sure you smash the interview (best way of prep is to download their last few annual reports and try and find out who they ''want to be'' etc.), i managed to get a work exp. placement with a pretty large uk bank this summer which led onto a few weeks paid and then finally a grad scheme offer for next year. the pay and perks have made that all worth it already mate.. and if you have to, lie.
