DONONE 1
PS Will get back to food soon dont worry

I'm not worried - I'll talk about anything!
The answer to your e-mail question - in case you can't get at my reply now - is - of course. Although I have to go out a bit. So keep trying.

Thanks the service is speeding up again but for how long?
catch you later

That would be nice.

By the way - you are an ox.

It has been mentioned before but mainly to do with my looks

By the way joking apart thanks for going to the trouble of finding out that i am an ox v. kind

That's OK.
Your little eyes were twinkling a while aga - and now they've gone. It's quite sad when they disappear.

That was an 'ago' - I must remember to preview my messages. It really annoys me when I make mistakes and then they have to stay there. Makes me feel like getting my red pen out!

Your eyes have come back!
What colour are your real ones?

My eyes are green what colour are yours? dont worry they will never be gone for long from you. I know what you mean i hate spotting it as soon as you press the post button and make a vain attrempt to change it!!

that was a freudian slip if ever i saw one and no it was not intentional

Mine are blue. Quite dark blue - not the interesting intense sort.

ok blue eyes, taping as i speak(just to confuse anybody nosing in). Thought i would give you a laugh with questions from application for home office oh sorry just noticed did you know that the home office is building a safe just and tolerant soceity(well i never)
1. descibe a specific situation when you needed tocome up with a fresh idea to deliver a piece of work. How did you ensure that you met your objective to the appropriate quality and within the required timescale, i thought it was an administrative position not in the marketing department(does the civil service have a marketing department)there are more but will save for another time

Had a feeling you'd be there now.
I signed in then got distracted and went off to make tea for the girls.
What a weird question to put on an application form. I suppose it's better than being put on the spot in an interview with it. At least you've got time to make something up!

Yes that is right the only drawback is trying to remember because these questions are used as a basis for the interviews. There are four of these type of questions and two people interview you, its quite challenging in my experience one person writes a lot down as you are answering the questions whilst the other barely writes anything. I dont know whether this is to throw you or there is some method behind it. Still no use worrying about that now have to make sure i get an interview first.

Just make sure you photocopy your application form and then learn the script off by heart!

Thanks for the advice i think no honestly will have to do something like that.

So - have you actually been in a situation when you've needed to come up with a fresh idea to deliver a piece of work? For some reason it makes me think of the Milk Tray man in the old (positively ancient!) ads. When he does a James Bond style entrance to deliver the box of chocs and "all because the lady loves........" Do you think it would be thought of as a bit too flippant if you described having been in that sort of situation?

I have not been in that situation in work in fact i think i would fall over if someone in work asked for my opinion on the business.
In my hnc course had to hypothetically start up a business so needed fresh ideas for that we chose a sun bed shop and had to go and find a site for it rather spookily the site we chose became a sun bed shop.
I think that this is going to become a basis for that particular answer, i know what you mean by the milk tray man the strange thing is what relevance can they draw between the question and the job of administrative assistant!! Not to denegrate admin assistants here you understand.
