If I hear the fucking words "You gave an excellent interview but we had someone with more relevant experience" one more fucking time I'm going to fucking punch something or someone - whatever's closest. Fucking hell! The definition of an expert as someone who knows more and more about less and less till in the end they know all there is to know about nothing is really starting to sound true. What the fuck am i supposed to fucking do to get a fucking new job when this is the respose i get every fucking time. 4 interviews and 4 "people with more relevant experience but excellent fucking interviews". AAAAARRRRRRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGGGHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!! | ||

Weber, I really feel for you here- I know what this is like. And yes- responses like that drive me right up the fucking pole as well. All I can say is to keep going and eventually you'll get somewhere. | ||

Good luck, mate. Redundancies at our place this week, so I can feel the recession creeping ever closer... | ||

Thanx guys. Excuse my letting off steam. typing it wasn't quite as cathartic as screaming it across the office but probably kept me in this job for another three weeks. | ||

Over here, I heard the joke go: "X" = the unknown; "spurt" = a drip under pressure. So an "expert" is: an unknown drip under pressure. Keep your spirits up, Weber. Don't let the basturds get you down.... | ||

Mr B I get paid Friday. Would you perchance wish to partake of a beverage or two or possibly 5 or 6 in a friendly local hostelry such as the Bodds at some point over the weekend? | ||

Hi Weber- Sounds good. Friday night be OK? | ||

Just keep off the Bushmills...  | ||

Friday is the one night this weekend I can't do. Saturday or sunday? | ||
| Simon Bestwick (Simon_b) Username: Simon_b Registered: 10-2008 Posted From: 86.24.165.182 |
I'm out Saturday night so Sunday looks better. What time? Gary, me and Marc are both Salfordians so we can handle the Bushmills- it's only the weakling Mackems who can't hold their Irish whiskey.  | ||

I'm still recovering... You're a bad influence on me, mate.  | ||

I'll be the one doing backflips in slow motion. Alternatively I'll be in a broken heap in the corner sobbing into a pint glass. More realistically I'll be wearing a long black leather jacket, probably stood at the quiz machine. | ||

Not sure how far any of those will narrow the field down in Swinton, but I'll do my best... | ||

Weber the recession hit here as well. I work three jobs, but I had one of them go two weeks ago, and even just getting an additional part time job is getting harder- I wonder what it will be like come February/March. Best of luck with it. | ||

Backflips in slow motion would certainly narrow the field down, even in swinton. If I tried I'd end up as a broken wreck on the floor though. I'll probably be wearing my Pisshead shirt (motorhead logo but with a hand added holding a pint and the word Pisshead in the motorhead font over the top of it). The Matrix style jacket is reasonably distinctive How will I know you? | ||

Short and chunky; long dark hair in a ponytail; goatee beard; long black coat. Or a recent mugshot: http://www.facebook.com/home.php#/photo.php?pid=1708169&id=557144993&ref=nf Only without the backing band, obviously...  | ||

God I'm nervous. It's times like this I wish I'd listened to what my mother told me when I was a boy. | ||
