I just fell a little bit further into love with Rosario Dawson.

Updated my online CVs on Friday after getting enormously pissed off due to work having too great an impact on my weekend-swag.... had calls for 3 pretty promising sounding jobs today! :D

Edit: Though leaving your desk to take a private phone call every 20 minutes is not a good look. Agencies - spread your calls out!

Clearly, I'm putting my CVs in the wrong places.

... or you're going for better jobs than me! ;-)

I've had most success with JobSite and JobServe in the past... but I dunno what they're like for non-IT people.

90% of the jobs on job sites seem to be IT-related in some way.

looking for a job if that's cool.

although i want a job that isn't accounts based. sick to death of portuguese men calling me up demanding €2000000 because they've failed to provide the correct documents.

At least one Ninja does recruitment... get a thread started if/when you make the move!

If you want 4 hours of cleaning my flat every other week, I can hook you right up... :4: :corndance:

:lol:

One of the guys at my former workplace used to have to deal with this crazy indian guy who kept expecting us to build and ship out machines costing upwards of £500k without having sorted out the downpayment. This guy is one of the calmest people I've ever known, and even he managed to get seriously riled up, to the point of practically having to shout back down the phone coz he was being insulted so nastily.

Had to go through the portuguese forms some time ago, they take aaaaages to fill in and sort out.

.... and apparently they all share information anyway... just had a call from someone who'd seen my CV on Monster. I've never registered on Monster!

How long before I get the awkward call from my current employers?

Hahahaha! Another one of my ex-colleagues was looking for a new job, and got hauled in to see his boss and HR. Apparently, one of the silly agencies had submitted his CV back to us for a job!!!

yeah? i will closer to the time. are salaries relative to the cost of living in london?

i want an adventure and my friend is moving down with his GF and they have a spare room they've offered me.

oh i mean i don't want to stereotype, kay, but EVERY time it's a portuguese supplier they go fucking hard
on me.

eastern asian are the nicest on the other hand.

It's probably because the entire country's bankrupt and they're stupendously desperate for the money.

Playing Shlohmo very loudly and smoking lots of cigarettes. Not helping yet.
Went for a massive bike ride in the sun, wrote some shit about Kant and the categorical imperative and feel much better.
Still listening to Shlohmo :D
