I got a call from a recruiter yesterday morning:

Recruiter: Your CV has landed on my desk this morning, I'm very impressed and had a thorough read through and think that we can do something together. can you tell me if you are looking to move and what your goals are
Me: Well as you can see on my CV, I do X now and want to continue with X and sprinkle in a bit of Y
Recruiter: Oh, well I'm a recruiter for A positions so I wont be able to help you, I'll, erm, pass it on or something
Me: Sure. Thanks for your help

The first line of my CV is my career objective. He didn't even read the first line of my CV before calling.

Think it went well thought they were going to offer it on the spot! Find out tomorrow morning

I'm going on work placement in January and my course coordinator has made an absolute balls of my place. I wish we could just organise these things ourselves.

I'm sure there's a Donut store nearby. Thread in AH as well, but I'm not posting the link because that might annoy a mod who's partial to a donut or two.

Although still telling the correct time, the clock in Swan Centre Rathmines has stopped chiming. Wonder what philistine dullard asked for it to be silenced!

RTE reporters doing that open-hands-close hands thing. What they imagine it adds to the presentation, I have no idea, because they seem to just do it at random.

Also, inserting vocal commas into the wrong places, and breaking up what should be a smoothly-flowing sentence.

erica74 · 24-10-2017 02:11PM

"Hi, could I get a cappuccino with almond milk please?"
(Extremely overweight man queuing behind me, who did not need to involve himself) "you know that's not any healthier than regular milk?" said with a chuckle
"Why do you care?"
Seriously, why would you think you're in any position to lecture on "health"?

The Bald guy reporting from Catalonia does that a lot and bounces backwards and forwards in an over dramatic way, totally OTT.

Walking home and stopped at pedestrian lights. Guy on other side of road obviously doing run commute, stops at lights, stops Garmin. I'm there checking out his rucksack (not a euphemism) and when the green man beeps I forget I'm walking, break into a jog and try to start my non existent Garmin. Looked like a gobshyte. I'm in dress and hiking boots

TA at my lack of confidence.

"I didn't get accepted to research", "my application must be ****e" etc.

Well today I was accepted to an international research programme to conduct a project on finding new antibiotics to fight against antimicrobial resistance

Ah that is brilliant! Congratulations! Sounds like a great opportunity (Not entirely altruistic on my part as I have MRSA in my lungs and new antibiotics are very much welcome

)

I have to get up at 2am to go up to Dublin to fly to the UK to view houses to rent tomorrow. I am tired at the thought of it already.

How ironic, the bacteria I'm trying to find an antibiotic against is MRSA!

Hmm, maybe just stay up and go out and stagger onto the bus drunk and disorderly to the airport? :pac:

Commuter cyclists...

When people wish a friend a happy birthday on Facebook but make sure that they themselves are the main focus in the photo they share.

When a child asks me to open something and I find that it's all slobbery because they've been trying to open it with their teeth.

Surreptitious · 24-10-2017 11:04PM

I washed my hair and it's lank already. I can't get this sh!t out of it. I tried everything and it's horrible.

Yes! Happy Birthday dear friend! I have known you for so long! Where would I be without you? You have been there with me through so much! My world is better when you are in it! Usually coupled with a picture of the poster looking hot and the bday girl not so much.
Cringe.

People who insist they're right but when asked to prove it, they can't or won't bother cause they know they're wrong.

Martina1991 · 24-10-2017 11:42PM

When people complain every Sunday night about dreading Mondays.

They happen every week. If you don't like the thought of another week of work you're in the wrong job.

madmaggie · 25-10-2017 12:35AM

Someone I liked and respected has turned out to be a right ba****d. Perhaps I'm just a poor judge of character.

Humming and hawing about cutting my hair. Have had Rapunzel length locks for as long as I can remember and I'm scared to cut it. But I want a Lob. What's a girl to do????

Go for it. I did. I didn't realise the weight of hair I was carrying around. It's 1 year this week since I got the big cut and the weight of it is just starting to annoy me again.

erica74 · 25-10-2017 10:32AM

I just dropped my favourite stapler and it broke into pieces.

People with gigantic prams, who won't move them out of the way and then scowl at you when you bump off them. Eh move then!!

People who say "oh we've received no correspondence from any appointments" and then when you call out the letters that have been sent out and it turns out they just haven't received the most recent letter. Just say what you're fucking looking for and stop playing games!!!

People who ask you for help or directions and walk off while you're still explaining and DON'T SAY THANK YOU. WERE YOU RAISED IN THE FUCKING WILD??

Also, "oh how does this phone work?", "the same way as all phones work", "oh could you dial the number for me?" STOP BEING AN ABSOLUTE KNOBHEAD!!!
And then "how do you turn up the volume on this?" WITH THE CLEARLY MARKED + AND - BUTTONS!
