I have done a fair few interviews in my time,
And met some proper weirdos and mongs. One of my favourites was a guy who turned up for a pot wash interview in a dinner jacket and bow tie and was a proper loon. At one point of the interview he moaned about how he had his previous identity as a NASA research scientist stolen by the US government, which was why a man his age was looking for such low work.
Mostly though in my line of work, you get people who are on the dole, don't want to work, but thanks to "central recruitment" I have yo speak to. One of the oft used ways to guarantee no job is to tell us that they lost their last job because of their terrible hygiene standards.

Stop judging Wilf on his wacky dress sense.

Why does aw bang on about leaving work bang on 5pm whenever work comes up.
Did I miss something?

Also, I quite liked the bow tie.

Captain Placid is a work to rule prick.

work to rule?

Contracted hours only. Out the door at one minute past whenever he's supposed to finish.

Captain Placid explained how employers are taking the piss if they ask you to work outside of your contracted hours.
Then he and aw had a long conversation by gaz about the importance of heartbeats or some shit.

The whole Steampunk/Victoriana look is a vast improvement on Wilf's previous combination of German paraboots, shorts and a Neds Atomic Dustbin long-sleeve t-shirt.

It was a comment I put on another post where someone was complaining about being required to go to a company function and schmooze
My answer was along the lines of - don't do it. If there's a contacted requirement to do it then you have to but if not, it's voluntary so don't volunteer.
AW has decided I'm a 9 to 5 guy (I've never worked in an office) and a clockwatcher. It's fun to see his Pavlovian reaction whenever work's mentioned.
For a fuller explanation of my thoughts on the reciprocal aspects of the employment covenant gaz me and I'll bore the nads off you!

Edit. I'm off for some test drives now. Have fun!
