Default Jobs ... still can't work it out over here!

Other half spends over 2 months applying for jobs with no luck!

A major supermarket chain eventually get back last Friday and say she's been shortlisted for an interview, but unfortunately it's came too late as she isn't well now.

Anyway, they leave a message on the home phone Friday saying that she has an appointment on Saturday at 10am, but we cancelled it.

Sooooo, what would be the natural progression from here??????????

Oh you know, a call today saying that the outcome of the interview ( ) is that .........

Yup, you guessed it! ... she GOT the job! ...

WTF ?!? ... lol

You'd think I was lying if I said that also today I had a call from a fast food chain looking to interview her, and one of the MANY admin jobs she applied for also looking for an interview!

Honest!!

She actually has a job that she started but became ill and they too are holding the position so she's never been in such demand!

Just a pity it's all came too late as unfortunately depression has risen it's ugly head and she's unfit to work at the mo! ...

Timing eh! ...

Jobs and men, like buses. Can't get one for ages then they all arrive at once.

Give her my love and tell her to take it easy
