A customer sent back a package because he claimed the paperwork inside was wrong. I checked. No it wasn't. WTF is he on about?
I sent it back with a letter that was polite and professional but with the merest undertone of "Screw you"

Franklin Delan Roosevelt, 1932, promising a 'New Deal' out of the depression...alphabet agencies, hehe, for some reason, everyone remembers the TVA...yay 20th Century history.

It's just a shame Mao' Great Leap Forward didn't work as well...

my excuse is a lack of motivation, I got all the skills but I'm a miserable bugger who needs to think more positively, hell when they saw my CV they was wowed by it and sent it to their head office for a general office job they have going in the building

I'll probably get round to doing some proper job searching to get away from the chavs, last day they might try and kill me or something!

Funnily enough, Clinton offered a 'New Deal' for Americans in 1996 I think, as part of his re-election campaign...seeing as he was a 'New' Democrat...

New Labour did a similar thing with MacMillan's 'Third Way' from 1938...

What's this thread about again?

gotta apply for 50 jobs over the 2 weeks of this course, I wouldn't be surprised if everyone faked it on the sheets we gotta fill in

My excuse is no fucker want's to employ me! I apply for at least 10 jobs a week, usually (a lot) more and most places don't even have the decency to send a standardised "we're terribly sorry but your application has been unsucessful this time" letter.

I'm told my C.V. is excellent, my covering letters are well written, my phone technique is second to none and I interview well but still no cigar - can't work if no-one will employ me!

I'm pretty much sick of it tbh and I'm putting together an application to go to uni as a mature (haha yeah right ;) :lol:) student next year.
