I'll be walking to the dole office later, if that counts as exercise.

In the North East it practically qualifies you for the Olympics !!

It's a two mile round trip, Rory.
I'll be running marathons in three months, mark my words.

In fact, I sign on at 3:40, so I'd best get my skates on and set off now.

It's going to take you an hour and a half to walk a mile?

It's a joke based on the repeated meme that everyone on here is a fat, asthmatic layabout.

You best have charged up your mobility scooter this time

I don't qualify for one, Rory.
I find this insulting.

They stopped dishing them out after the wheels kept getting nicked.

Then of course there's the pen lifting in the middle.

Tires me out that is

Last time I asked the woman if she could print something off for me
and she declined, saying she had people to see. It would have taken her a matter of seconds to fucking do it.

I'm sure I've already mentioned the secretary comment
but this particular one also told me there was 'no call for someone like me.'
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 13:26, Reply)

I remember the secretary comment, yeah.
How's the search going anyway?
( Davros' Granddad a voice of calm reason in a world of spastics., Wed 1 Feb 2012, 13:27, Reply)

Shit. I've applied for so many things
and not even got replies back. I'm crossing fingers on this internship possibility, and feeling rage that my brother mentioned it casually to his girlfriend and now she is applying as well.
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 13:28, Reply)

Uuugh, that's a bit shit.
Fingers crossed that something comes along soon.

Thanks you too
any interviews coming up?
( Amberl was stripey and dominated Europe, Wed 1 Feb 2012, 13:33, Reply)

Not that I know of.
Hoping to hear about one shortly, but it was a national recruitment drive for 4000 posts so I suspect the sifting process may take longer than normal. Couple more applications going in as well.
