Card's Behind the Bar again - Great News [Archive]

07-Nov-2005, 22:39

Yes, I finally have a job!!!!

I have been offered a nice 6 month contract which I was pleased to accept this evening. I may even start on Wednesday :D

The last few months have been personally 'challenging' one could say :rolleye: ... and this is one monkey I'm exceptionally happy to have off my back. Please join me in getting completely shat faced. I'll be drinking Bundaberg Rum and coke.

Woohoo!!

Presentation was a gem, I'm sure the clip would have helped me land the job actually! The guy who offered me the job texted me about half an hour ago and said "Fantastic, really happy you accepted. I'm going to have lots more beer now"

:lol:

This could end in tears ....

Now listen here you!

I've shaved them off! And the beard - the whole went for the job interview on Friday. Well apart from the bit under my bottom lip ... but otherwise I actually looked like I knew what I was talking about when I put a suit on. Fortuantely no-one recognised me.

MANKY!!! Why I oughtta ...

I'll be based at Heathrow so lunches will be a tad difficult ... I even have to wear a suit for this job, that's going to be a shock ... I've been quite casual in my work dress standards since I left Accenture.

We might have to come up with another plan to sort out those CD's ... I miss them!
