    Must remember to interview more often...

    I think I just slung an interview down the pan just because the chap interviewing me was a bit of a moob. Normally I can handle people like him because I know they need the help but I just couldn't be bothered to answer the wild, far fetched Ken and Barbie situations he was trying to take me through and then pointed out a gaping great hole in poor chaps thought process. (I think his boss found it a bit funny but I'm sure I am not getting that job!)



    If I keep this up I might need my bench fund sooner than I thought...

    Un-boomed !

    If he really was a moob, you're better off out of that role

      What's a Moob?

      The only moob I know is man-boob?

        That's the one...

        It's one lower than a tit, based on the fact that at least a tit has one use

          I love them!
          How would you turn on a light?
          I usually use the switch on the wall
          [Pause] What if you weren't allowed to use the switch on the wall?

            That sounds a little like exercising too much control. Have you heard of IR35?

              What? You just use the same light switch that the permies use? Don't you bring your own company branded one and install it on your first day on site?

                Murder whoever is stopping me and give their body a good b**ing before disposing of them down a drain. Why waste a fresh corpse? Do I get the job?

                I think I've been watching too much Rome. You have to admit life was simpler in those days.
