Interview

Post by majeed »

Had an interview for another job today (outside of RM) and they phoned me back in the afternoon; they said we're offering you the job, I said I accept and now I have to wait God knows how many weeks to hear anything while they check my references and do all the usual CRB checks... it takes so long to get a job these days and you need paperwork coming out of your rear end to prove who you are, what you've done, how many times you go to the toilet and what colour it is, etc. God! Then you've got to fill in your UB40 and post the 'I've got a job' section to Leeds....

I still want the postie job, so I hope the endless hurdles of the references actually ends with RM before this 15hours job I've been offered. If RM offer me the job, I plan to leave this job that I'm in. I'll say my prayers before doing so, though, of course. And then it will be rainy day, bitey dogs, sorting office larks and tons of pressure from bosses to get the work done. Oh - and a video screen in the canteen that don't work but cost lots of money.

Say your prayers guys, or if you're not into that sort of thing, remember me in your thoughts.

Majeed, thanks for that. By the way, I am one of those englishmen that like a vindaloo. Once tried a phaal but my arse went off like a party popper so I stick with what's right.... :Very Happy
Yes - it's great all working as one community. I always try my best to bring people together: we have to look at what we have in common. I always say,'What will bring us together?'

Well, if it's any consolation, remember this when you're taking your pay:

According to the posts above, it seems so: jet propulsion. Perhaps Adam's going to introduce phaals as standard kit, to dispense with the need for private cars to get to the walks! First stop: the nearest WC.

Yeah, I heard too that A Crazier has been road testing all these curries in-order to assertain its strengths. He has since re-tarmacked the road map with his sh*te allowing us propel ourselves under this new perpetual, human combustible, motion, or some-such sh*t? No doubt, his hypotandpiss will prove that we will be able to do more in less time.
We posties do things differently, but we still get shot at!

Our (other) men and women deserve a little more... http://www.helpforheroes.org.uk/

Usual day

Post by majeed »

Got up at about 11am and went out to local shops. Caught some food. Still hadn't woken up. Went back home. Sat at home on PC and worked. Did a bit of proofing of this

http://www.islamic-sharia.org/

website, went for prayers at various intervals at local mosque, and came back home each time. Made lots of cups of tea and drank them all (I'm laughing as I type this! :Very Happy).

Picked up D2D and other stuff that postie had left me as a gift (kind postie!). D2D in recycle bin; two letters from DWP partially deciphered; rang Tax Credits and I can't get that because I'm a postie on 25 hours (ah well, that's the way the cookie crumbles, sometimes, I guess!) and can't get Income support because I work more than 16 hours a week (I'm trapped in a 25-hour time bracket! Ahhhhhhhh! I'm a postie! Get me out of here!). I digress....

In the evening, played on Oblivion IV and then did a bit of typing in this forum, which is where I am at the moment. Oh - had yet more tea to drink (along with a humungous bar of Cadbury's chocolate)! Image Ooh arrr! Aren't I a naughty boy!
