h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

Well, you know I said I had a job and it wasn't official? But that the Supervisor said it was mine?

Well not long after he said that, he posted an e-mail to me that basically told me what order the job positions were going in and who may get them and that "hopefully" it included me.

He had me in his office and OFFERED ME the job. If I had to be interviewed again and go thro HR again, he should have told me to re-apply and not leave me on tenter hooks.

Unless of course he was basically telling me its fixed in a roundabout way, that covers his ass.

*SIGH* so now I find out that I have to go thro all the rigmarole of applying and having an interview again.

Just goes to show, its not what you know, its WHO you know.

Oh and the application that I carefully filled out last week, and gave to the HR woman who is dealing with these positions and who told me she would take it down to pharmacy that very day.....hasn't got there yet. I just had an e-mail off the Spvsr saying he hadn't got it yet

So now, I'm waiting for an interview appointment.

sorry to hear that
hope it gets sorted soon
once you've got in it all gets a lot easier

So I hear!

Thanks Bc

Sorry you are being messed around. Try not to lose your patience with them.

Thanks Kaz Your right about patience.

All I want to do is stab the HR woman with my biro... and somehow that would make me the bad person...*chuckles* The job position closes this week, and if the Spvsr hadn't known I was interested, my application given in trust to her, would never have made it. Someone not doing THEIR job could have cost me the chance of a job..*grr*

I'm sure the Spvsr was reassuring me that I would get the job and was covering himself at the same by not exactly admitting anything, but still I worry quietly. Like for instance, what if another previous employee pops up out of the woodwork..?

Ahh well, must go leap around the living room to my exercise video..sweat it out

HR. What on *earth* are these people for? Some of them even like to see themselves as the warm, cuddly side of companies.

Oh dear, sorry you're being messed about, hope it works out well

Don't stab anyone with a biro, dear, waste of a good biro and far too much like hard work.

Poo-bah to them. We think you're marvellous.

Cuddly side of companies... yes, right! You have to woo these peeps first before your potential boss gets to see your resume, and that's if they are not too busy.

Of course there are some really nice dedicated HR workers out there, that do actually perform their job with competence...somewhere...

Thanks Unc and Aga

I only wanted to maime her a few times, it wouldn't have been too much trouble or taken long - executive stress relief n' all that

Altho, yeh...*reconsiders* waste of a good biro.

(off topic)

Count Ernst von Bic, founder of the leading manufacturer of disposable biros, believed that his pens were the world's only successful exercise in practical communism. They're regarded as common property, aren't they? Nobody much minds if someone takes theirs and doesn't return it and you don't feel guilty about the ones that you acquire from elsewhere.

Were you thinking of Joe Pesci in Casino?

Sorry for the delay MV- hope that's all , unless it is for the cosmic placement of something better!

Please leave all stabbing implements at home until further notice!
It is almost a hiddden routine in some places to misplace the forms on the first try

You do seem to have a thing about pens!
They write better if used only for their intended purpose.
I Hope things turn around soon.

What a pain in the bum!!

Yes, probably best not to indulge the biro fantasy....i would certainly be tempted to snarl quietly every time i pass by though...no doubt gaining a reputation as a closet , which probably wouldn't improve job prospects either!

If all else fails, i would suggest you send G Force in to sort them out!

zdt

That's a p*$$*r, MV, and after all that too. I hope it get sorted out quickly.

Buncha incompetents, the lot of 'em. I'd favour a chip fork in the eye over a biro. Less wastage.

perhaps this is a job for a

I hope this is just a hiccup - it sounds like it to me.

We do indeed all think you're marvellous!

Oh, MV, how frustrating! I had something very similar happen to me recently, and I know just how you feel...

Practical Communism...biros...heeeee! I hadn't thought of them like that afore!

I haven't seen Casino, Ed, I assume that Joe Pesci damages someone with a biro then? Darn it, and I thought I was being original. Perhaps I should think about postit notes then...

Abbi, no worries - "cosmic placement of something better".."hidden routine to misplace forms".. I like that.

Sending G-force in...hmmmm *scratches chin meditatively* that's not a bad idea..now where did I put his Ninja suit..

Thanks Hellie

SR..a chipfork...

A spork.....YESSSSSssssss

Gosh Trin *shuffles n' looks at feet*

Fanks Adela

Another interview tomora at 9am..

Good Luck MV !
