    Started off with lager, now half way down a bottle of Merlot

    All flippin day interview, with presentation where equipment don't work (their fault not mine), presentation started "looping" itself - god knows why- I NEVER have it on loop, and then interview panel looked at me as if I'd walked in with **** on my shoes (I even checked!).
    Haven't heard, but the way the host member of staff sent me away with his "won't be seeing you again" look on his face, it looks like I remain, "Fired at work"! Another day wasted, plus yeaterday, paying to put little 'un in Nursery extra day so I could prepare. Time for another Merlot methinks! :'(

    I sort of half hoped...

    ... you would be a top software or IT engineer or something like that. Still best of luck.

    LOL

    That i certainally am not... managed to even blame the loop problem on my husband, before going on to say that my biggest problem in my experience had come from foreign students .... can't think why they haven't contacted me!!!! (Don't panic I'm not racist - there was a long & very dull story about the only situation I could bring to mind of a problem at work that involved a mis-translation of work from English - Chinese, but the over all effect was to just dig myself in a big hole & pull the lid over!) God the more I think about it the more i cringe!! Bring me more wine!! (casualty)

    Cava for me...

    ... getting to quite like a bit of fizzy !!!!</p>

    Oh I haven't had an interview for 17 years. But I've given a few since then, normally 15 mins about the job, 5 mins about the terms and conditions, then 1 hour talking footie !!! Yes we've even empolyed Wednesday fans although the balance is tipped towards tarn at the moment with a token Miller !!!</p>

    ah but

    When your 2 year old is up at 6am it seems like a really rubbish idea. Might be a job for the other half this time!! (zzz)

    RE: ah but

    Yes good answer. Get hubby off to bed and tuck in.

    Given up on the "Tonight's Twaddle" thread thought I might just develop this one.

    Still looking for that software engineer too! Cheers!

    prob with that is

    he brought home "tactical flowers" ... which he thrust at me on his way up to change for footy training ... out of the house in 10 mins flat, but we both know .... he bought flowers - a very rare thing in this house. This is a sign that as usual I will be up at 6 in the morning!! After all, he went out of the way to stop at a garage to buy me flowers.

    No but

    Someone did make a comment on the lines of "SOme of our students even come from Barnsley".... Think it rattled 'em.
    Maybe not my best move ever, but I thought it would add a personal touch to my ever-spooling presentation. You reds!

    Ah, the old "flowers" trick

    Haven't bought my wife flowers for ages.

    Probably means I haven't done anything wrong to justify it. Anyway on my 3rd glass already. Cheers (hic).

    Time for me to put into action the "I didn't really drink all that wine, I put it in your lovely meal" trick .
