Wonder how many replied "Pity it didn't happen back then"

Our receptionist "sighing" every minute or so, acting like the weight of the world is on her shoulders. Why is it that the people with the least amount of responsibility at a workplace act like they have the most?

I'm still waiting for a call to tell me whether I'm successful.

It's a general news position with the ability to move into sports. The current sports journo is 85 years old and been doing it for 30 years, apparently he's pretty close to dying so they'll need someone to take over from him. The only other journalist working there (its a small publication) is my best mate, so we are looking forward to working together if I'm given the opportunity.

God 85 yeah maybe time to retire give someone else a go. Mark Robinson came to our school and gave a talk to the Year 9s. His standard day (esp during the footy season) was just nuts- basically starts at 10am, doesnt stop till past midnight (game days anyway).


Did you change your bf name??

My mate has worded me up on his role, where basically he needs to write 20 articles per week, so four a day. He said he can do all 20 on a Monday, then basically have a cruisy week and still get paid, so I don't think it will be as full on.

Yeah, Spitta2Azza > Fazza2Jazza > Ahern2Boof

I drank a milkshake, then a diet coke, then some water on a hot day.

Yeah it did not end well, idk what the **** I was even thinking.

Rookie mistake Shell.
Guess you won't be doing that again..lol

No, next year will be sticking to strictly water on the day.

Not getting my dream job. Haven't handled rejection this badly since my teenage years when I was trying to lose my virginity.

Similar thing happened to me recently. Was very keen on the job and the interviews went really well, but was told I just missed out.

There's this commercial where a dude is standing in the foreground looking nonplussed while a group of people are in the background hi-fiving each other. Saw it on At Midnight but couldn't find the video.

He really does spend a lot of time in the pub. 10am to midnight is a solid session

because receptionists think the company stops without them

Journalism isn't my background, but from experience most smaller employers/businesses don't advise unsuccessful applicants of the outcome (even when you're promised a call or email). If they do, feedback is often quite superficial.

You did indicate that you're likely to receive the position, so that might not apply. Usually happens when there's a high volume of applicants and lots of subsequent interviews.

Waiting on a call myself. I'm afraid I've got my hopes up too much. It's been hard to be enthused about my current job this week.

When a TV revival that you've waited under 10 years for is less than half of what you hoped.

Yeah, so often the original series (or even movie) has excellent scripting and acting whereas the rivival (sequel too) tends to be somewhat rushed if it wasn't originally planned and thought out properly
