A particular recruitment agency that I sent a CV to want me to complete a course which includes filling out the following details

- Current address (no problem with that)

- Mailing address (cannot say 'as above' must rewrite address again)

- Must give details of all pasy employment including place, role, referees eveb though they are already shown on the ******* CV.

You wonder why HR agencies are loathed. They are truly a pain in the arse.
Some of my nursing jobs i applied for you would think i was applying to NASA. Police check. Working with children check . Need blood tests for communicable disease. Registration card. Two reference. C V. Selection criteris adressed. Cover letter. Handwashing certificate. Mandatory reporting certificate. I'm sure ive left stuff out.

When you hire a tradie to do something for you thinking it will be a couple of days job but they come for a couple of hours every few days and drag it out over weeks. Fine if they're busy but they should have been upfront about it at the start and given me the option to find someone else.

I have four messages on my answering machine from the "tax department" advising me I've been charged with tax evasion and a warrant has been issued for my arrest. They leave a number to call and I would love to call back to play along but I'm concerned it's one of those that charges you when you dial it - campaigners
I had that call yesterday.

You: Hello, I'm after some cold & flu tablets
Pharmacy: What are your symptons?

Chances are they're probably related to a cold, rather than anal leakage.
The place where you get 20 year women who think they're doctors when they just read a prescription

Fox Sports News. Could they show their dislike for Aussie Rules any more? I swear everytime I flick over they're talking about Rugby. And unless theres something massive happening in the AFL, they will always run with footy news 2nd or 3rd (or in todays case, 4th).
Also, whats happened to all the hot newsreaders??? All we get these days is Matt Sulo and some other boofhead who is no doubt from NSW.

the saga that is paramatta eels winger suspected of alleged domestic violence. the act, if true, is shit in itself. however, if my ears heard correctly one pundit from fox sports said "he's a good person, just needs to get himself right".

The whole rugby league media is a boys club. They only get on their high horse on off field behaviour only where and when it suits them. It is amusing to see the average toothless man in Campbelltown and Redcliffe thinking of journalists like Rothfield and Wielder as the voice of reason
