It doesn't matter where you go, the fact that it'll be a departmental
christmas do for a load of bank employees will automatically negate any
hipness inferred by the venue.

Unlike some around here, I'm not wedded to music with guitars and
stuff. I do generally like "songs" rather than soundscapes, tho - the
nearest I get to that is probably Radiohead's Kid A.

Nicely done. If Mark Bolan were alive he'd be suing them over "Shoot

Three other blokes had a hand in it and are still alive.
Was it the music or the lyrics and singing that annoyed you?
Are you sure you were listening to The Doors? Could it have been
"Relight My Fire" by Take That? The Doors were really quite good
in parts.

You've missed the point; JM's vocals encourage participation, in the
same way as the Punk era did, on the basis you couldn't do any worse
yourself.
And I *like* The Doors.

You're worried? I've been at one place for six years now, 4.5 of them

Before that the longest I'd ever done in one job was 18 months.

I've been with my current lot, <counts> 9 and a bit years now.
Admittedly there's been 5 or 6 different roles and 3 relocations.

I've been in this job for the past 5.5 years, very worrying as on day 2
I decided I'd only do it for a year or so to force myself to get better
at dealing with all the paperwork and politics stuff I so hated.

the worry is that I've been here a tad under 4 years, despite the fact
for the first 6 months I kept telling myself that I had to leave, or
I'd go mad.

Yes, I can see why that wou;d be of concern. I had exactly yhe
opposite - after 30 or so employers over the years, I was convinced I
wanted to stay here after just a couple of months.

So when't the leaving do?

I felt like that about my last permanent employer. Unfortunately in
that case the company had changed beyond recognition after two years.
The positive side of having stayed here is that I *haven't* just done
the same thing the whole time, I've had 5 different job titles, and my
role and responsibility changes quite frequently.

Good question. I'll see how this years bonus pans out.

Similar for me, though I took this job as a way of moving back to
permanent from contracting, because I wanted to move away from
development into more general IT management. It's not so much a
problem that this place is a corporate (I've worked for other
corporates that were completely different); it's more that the way the
French "organise" things is completely counter-intuitive to someone
used to using things like "logic", "reality", "common sense" and
"reason" in a business environment.

It sounds to me like the French and the Americans can be quite similar,
thinking back to when I worked for a UK corporate it was very
differently run, and common sense wasn't feared.
I've had a taste of management here too, and decided I sure as hell
don't want to be doing it in the outsourcing division of the company,
it really is the shittiest end of a very shitty stick. Perhaps if I
move divisions and get into one of the technology or consultancy
practices I'd give it a go, the culture is different there.

Yes, but Kasabian are Dad Rock and strangely empty. If they were a
pudding it'd be Butterscotch Instant Whip.
FWIW, I can think of one contemporary band who are anything but
derivative...

I can't really describe the colour. Sort of yellowy brown, I suppose.

Good lord - are they still going?
porl
thing.
All music is derivative to a degree. What's important is what spin is
brought to the table. For instance take Kings of Leon and Wolfmother.
They're both hideously derivative and yet KoL makes it sound like
they're not and Wolfmother sounds like what was scraped off the remains
of the plane that Lynyrd Skynyrd crashed in.
