Not advocating mass-murder as an entirely positive experience, of course, but it had its moments.

The ones I really want, not so much!

They're shortlisting today for the job I really want. I can see what's gonna happen here but hey, best suit on, winning smile fixed and ready, let's see what happens. Whatever happens, happens for a reason.
Had an interview last week and came second........to a person who was already doing the job on a temporary basis. If I'd known there was an internal candidate, I wouldn't have bothered showing up to play equal opportunities games!

Re: Today I'm neither Angry nor Happy about....
Unbelievable. Second again to an internal candidate already workin in that team. Another wasted afternoon. At least the panel chair had the good grace to be embarrassed about it when he rang. Onwards n upwards

You do realize, Bob, that some managers tell all unsuccessful candidates that they came second to make it an easier let down.Bijou Bob wrote:Unbelievable.

Re: Today I'm neither Angry nor Happy about....
Just had a call to say that Our Kid (younger one) has been rushed in with a suspected acute appendicitis and is currently dosed up to the eyeballs on morphine. Just had to call Mum to let her know. She's now panicking like only a mother can do. 

May the bridges I burn light your way
Re: Today I'm neither Angry nor Happy about....
Oh eck. Best wishes to Your Kid. Hope its a quick op and discharge mate

Hope he's ok Bruce.
My drive home from work takes me through Top of the Brow estate and every October I have a chuckle at a house on the estate that puts their Xmas decorations up. They've surpassed themselves this year. They're up already
. At the moment its all the tinsel and santa posters in the windows. Around about Halloween/Bonfire night they turn all the flashing lights on.
Their kids must be hyper by Xmas eve

The one on Winchester Way? They were up by the 5th this year. That's not the earliest they've been up. We look out for them every year to see if they can outdo themselves. The time flies by in our house.Harry Genshaw wrote:Hope he's ok Bruce.
