    Shoddy recruitment agents. We are hiring and received 15 CV's from two agencies and I had to review them

    One agents wrote "keen interest in developing career in x company". That's our competitor and kinda a bit insulting to send that to us. If we hire him will he leave? Nah it's a copy and paste error and the lazy agent is pinging around the CV and left it on, very sloppy.

    5 Cvs from one agent has the wrong email address so If we want to setup interviews and give news our email will fail. It's ok we found the correct address but shoddy

    I understand agencies take out phone numbers and contact details, that's cool. However these word document formats they have are bloody difficult to read and I am scanning them quite quickly

    Apply direct folks. Your CV is far superior then what your agent sent in

    Driving long distances with no air conditioning and the sweat pouring off me. Another one is the learner driver with the L cut out all the way in front of me with nobody with him in the car driving erratically. He went in the wrong lane at a roundabout then just swerved the other way. I'm all for patience but it was torture.

    Ordered a toasted sandwich today and was served an almost cremated one. :(
    It was artfully arranged so that the completely blackened sides were sort of hidden.
    I asked politely for it to be replaced, which it was, no problem. But why try to hide the fact that the sandwich was burnt to a crisp, ( did they think I wouldn't notice!) just bin it, and start over!

    Taking tomorrow off work to do a bit of painting. Being such a lovely night I am sitting out in my garden with a beer. In one of the houses behind me a couple is having a right oul row. Ta with the screeching - and on a bleeding week night.

    The missus has gone abroad for work again and usually I like being at home alone. The other day though she was telling me some urban legend horror stories about break ins ( the bitch) and here I am in bed too afraid to turn the light off.

    People shoving their opinions down my throat. A woman I know is desperate for doing it. She's mad into interior design and I'd have an interest in it too. She told me she bought a sofa in Ikea. I bought a couch and a cuddle chair on Saturday and wont have it for 8 weeks. She asked how much and without seeing it she said not to go through with it, to go to IKEA. This grates on me. I like what I like. Everything matches as best I can. I have a perfectly decent couch already but this one will be perfect. I'm not going to buy one for the sake of it because it's cheap.

    Then she's starting to tell me to knock through one of my walls to make downstairs open plan, what planet is she on if she thinks I'm taking to a sledge to the inside walls. ****in hell

    TA two of my friends had have a falling out and I'm stuck in the middle grrr


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 4,570 ✭✭✭Bredabe


    O/H says he didn't put on a wash since the last time I was there as the machine is "too complicated",
    Boysib said he had trouble when I was on nights as the tv was "too complicated" to turn on.
    *Both use wayyy more complicated machinery in their day jobs.

    Local res ass wants subscribers to act as dog/litter wardens, while doing nothing about the glaring traffic/security issues in the area.

    Ppl who ask me to repeat bad news slowly, especially when it's the sort of news that's upsetting for me too.

    Just scalded my hand using the Burco boiler in the canteen - I was meant to refilling my bottle from the cold water dispenser and it melted in my hand. It's been one of them mornings. :(

    TA'd when people sit on the bus upstairs with closed windows and its boiling hot, and I can't be bothered asking/reaching over to open one.

    I put a wash on and stupidly didn't button the duvet cover beforehand so now all the other items in the machine ended up inside the cover.

    My god, I never thought of that. The other items always end up inside the cover and it annoys me. TA'd that I feel stupid now.

    People who pay for stuff with their cash notes crumpled into a little ball. I've never understood this, why crumple it up, what's the point? Do you people not have wallets and if not do you not just end up losing your money half of the time?

    The last three or four times I have got a colour put in my bleached ends either by the hairdresser or my myself, it is practically gone within a couple of washes. If is starting to become too much hassle but I don't want to give up my purple locks :(

    Get yourself a revlon colour ball. Throw it in damp hair in the morning clip your hair up and leave it in as long as you can. It intensifies the purple and keeps your colour much longer. I had https://i2.wp.com/therighthairstyles.com/wp-content/uploads/2015/12/9-burgundy-and-purple-hair-color.jpg?resize=893%2C1157&ssl=1 this colour hair for years, bleached it up once, colour done every few months and a colour ball once a week.

    My TA is grocery shopping

    Try Manic Panic hair dye. You'll probably have to get it online but it lasts for months. Did my hair blue back in January, still waiting for it to wash out completely.
