EEVILMURRAY

I fired off a load of CVs on Monday and got a call back today for an interview at one of them. They mentioned the street so I know where it is, but can't remember what the job was. Something office related with a verbal resolution-something... I think I've got this in the bag.

Why can't you download them and print them off? S'what we did. Been having fun painting the decking again today since it rained after the first attempt with a shitty product from Wilko. Now got some Ronseal from Home Bargains and (after several recommendations from Daddy) an incinerator bin. It's glorious. Watching the carpet we pulled up (not underlay) burn and sink into the flames like the Titanic into icy waters.

I'm not saying you shouldn't approach them, but asking for clarification is foolish in this situation. Approaching them is fine, but you don't whip out a chaise longue, ask them to sit and tell you what they're feeling.

If someone thinks you're harassing them (be they right or wrong) you don't start asking them follow-up questions. You're basically proving their point and asking for trouble. Actual solution: You get to da choppa and wait for them to approach you, cap in hand and suitably ashamed.

And gotten whiter too. You leavin' da bruvva'hood?

Should've said you were trying to not be Chinese:

Surely that's some form of misconduct/negligence, there must be something in your contract which protects against this. Feeling that bro. Made another small trip to my old room to pick up some storage and my PC chair. Still some bits and pieces left.

House buying isn't the worse. It's unpacking all yo' shit when you finally move in. We've been living here for almost a month now and we have so much stuff still in boxes. I have about 10-15 by myself, with games, books etc.

Either way, it's pretty close for is the same film.

I was considering purchasing it today but I realised how dull the film was. I was actually surprised that they didn't have a midnight launch or that I wasn't harassed by several customers at 6am. In fact someone told me we had sold three copies by 9am. Apart from it being boring I've held off on investing as I'm just going to wait until the box set comes out. Because you know there will be a new one with each new release, which you'll no doubt be proud of when you look at it on your shelf until the next one comes out a year later: Episode VII Episode VII and Rogue One Episode VIII Episode VIII and Episode VII Episode VIII and Episode VII and Rogue One Having Episode VII and VIII together and then IX separately?! SIGN MY ANUS UP. And so on, it's like what they did with the Hunger Games. Whoever bought the set that had the first film, second film and the first part of the third film needed their head examining.

Whoa, some of those IMAX screens are completely ridiculous. It's weird how there's going to be another live action Jungle Book in just two years.

If we're doing Bee things...

How did you get Rupees?

But the ones which have plug sockets in the back so you can keep dat electo action going. WHICH IS WHY I NOW HAVE MY PC BACK. FUCK YEAH.

Something to do with the N64 I think. Although I could be lying to myself and turned up when it was Cube-Europe. We had a lot of name changingsings.

I too want that tshirt of Ainsley.

I remember those times well. Just curious as to why we're regressing.

So is this the amalgamation of the good/bad thread then?

I've been in our new house for about 3 weeks now... Things are alright. But things are still in boxes and still will be for awhile as we're waiting for a new carpet to arrive. Until then we're staying in the spare room. It's the lack of PC which is doing me in at the moment.

Aw, when I say I use it it's boring. When the missus uses it it's sudddddddddeeeeeeeeennnnnlyyyyyyyy good.

Didn't get a call back. I'm devastated.

Definitely, gonna brush up on my formal interview & bullshitting skills. Just had one of really suspicious interview schemes happen. Was at the gym yesterday and I get a call enquiring about the "Trainee [something, might've been marketing] Manager" position I applied for. I've applied for no management positions because I know I'm not qualified/can be arsed with the hassle, but decided to go along with it, maybe it could lead somewhere. Fast forward to today (another alarm) and I go to an office building where everything is new/minimal/standard. I've been to an interview like this before. When the secretary has a radio/random music playing you know shit aint serious. There were about 7 of us at the waiting room at one time (with seating for 6) and the secretary lady was fit and giving proper random banter which was fun. Interview - 40 minutes late. With not the person I was told I would be seeing (Managing Director, but once again not expecting it) in some office which was so staged. Protein powders on windowsill indicating gains. Five books on business with one about "success" turned around to face me, a graduation photo which looks like it came from a PC printer. A few small questions "Tell me about yourself?" bullshit, explaining the role was helping the company expand by expanding clients and other non-actual-explaining words. When he mentioned how they work for "Major companies, charities" and I then asked if they've worked for any I'd heard of, he seemed a bit angry by it. He had a nice tie pin though. My favourite: "This role is about management and [other buzzwords], what made you apply for the position?" "I didn't. You rang me when I was at the gym." I think at that point they realised I wasn't taking it seriously. Not expecting a call tonight but if I did I would've be surprised. It's got pyramid scheme shizzle written all over it. Have a look, full of lovely buzzwords and everything: http://www.goldstreamincorporated.co.uk/

Thought Groot would've grown a bit more by now...

Got the call today that I didn't make it. Apparently I was too brief in some of my answers in the formal interview, I thought I was being concise, but I'm still getting used to these things which have popped up for me. However, she said that she found me likeable, she's going to recommend an agency give me a call when she sees them next week. So fingers crossed for that.
