Hi ,
It looks like you're using an ad blocker.



The revenue generated from the adverts on the site is a critical part of our funding - and it's because of these ads that I can offer the site for free. But using the site for free AND blocking the ads doesn't feel like a great thing to do, which is why this box is so large and inconvenient. Some sites will completely block your access, but I'm not doing that - I'm appealing to your good nature instead. Did you know that you can allow ads for specific sites, whilst still blocking them on others?

Thanks,
Ian Williams aka Fetch
or for an ad-free Fetcheveryone experience!

Yes, and I'd run 500 miles and cycle round the world that morning too.

All depends on the environment, but in general 'no'. Here it would be looked on favourably, mind.

It is an opportunity to set a norm, SW. If you appear as 'just the new girl' then they'll start you off straight away by demanding unpaid overtime and treating you as just another number.

If you appear on day one as, quite clearly, one of those mentalist triathletes from the Hotel Bastardos then they will be expecting random training-related behaviour from the outset. And they'll be scared of you, which is always useful.

I'd say go for it then.

In fact, maybe arrive in a tri-suit and dash into the loos to get changed, whilst yelling "Someone time my transition" to really drive the message home.
