i think what i should have typed was we dont sit down to have tea breaks at a set time, there is nothing to stop me having a cuppa and drinking it on the go all day, apart from the amount of loo stops id need lol

Get on mate, glad it went well for ya. Not stopping for regimented breaks aint bad if you're doing a job thats interesting/enjoyable with sound people.

Only just seen this, glad your enjoying the new job.

Have to agree, I dont stop for teabreaks only 30 mins for lunch but 90% of the time I enjoy what I do.

well im midway thro my 3rd week now and im loving every minute of it, although there is a mouse trap that keeps getting hidden away im worried that the YTS lad could end up with only 4 fingers lol

joking aside i feel so much more relaxed now than i have for years, everyone there has been great and i think ive settled in well

Great news - if you are happy in your work it makes all the difference.

I've had a few staff transferred over to my site over the years, usually as a result of a discipline (I've got a bit of a reputation for managing people properly), and at least three I can think of came with the words 'virtually unmanageable' in the notes. One of them got promoted recently, and all of them are valuable members of my team.

Its much easier to respect people, support them, and let them work on their own initiatives, and don't pull the "I'm the big boss" card unless its absolutely needed - working like this, I find that my team almost self-manages, and they know when I do have to dish out a bollocking, its merited.

Hope you go from strength to strength
