Thing is, I've got absolutely no idea whatsoever as to what it is I've done.
Is it wrong of me to have replied to the last text message I received from her saying 'if you don't know what you've done, then I'm not telling you' with... 'Fuck off. Never contact me again'.
I'm still none the wiser. I thought the wife was mental. This is even more strange.

**JTDF beams with pride at not mentioning boxes and a high number of people living in them in London, meaning you'd be a real asset to the capital**
Hey - you won't win the raffle if you don't buy a ticket!
That's fantastic to get short-listed from that number of people though. Is that similar work to what you're doing at the moment?

I have said twice that it's fantastic you've been shortlisted.
The box comment was flippant, and I wish to retract that. May I?

I don't mean that I think it seems easy or a non-job. I genuinely mean that it evades me how a person can actually know how to 'do' it and achieve stuff.
My landlady recently suggested djtp set up his own business and I should do his marketing. just like that. Like a person can walk from working in a library to getting ahead in marketing. What a loopy old bat.

But a very rough rule of thumb for managing a project is to understand what you want to achieve and when you need to achieve it. Once you've worked that out, you can work backwards from the 'live' date to identify what you need to do and when.

I've handled projects to an extent, like gathering data, submitting it, acting upon the decision and seeing the physical results, but that was all very dry practical stuff.

I've dabbled before. You need to fully establish Target audience and ensure follow ups on everything.
But getting the right style and medium I think is down to experience

But the deadlines aren't for ages, so I won't hear back for ages. Spending most of my time doing photography just now instead, might frame up and try to sell some pics to bring some money in.
Or I'll sit about doing shit all, slowly wasting away. Easier, and a bit more appealing somehow.

Better still, is if you can find on the company website the name of the director of the business unit you are applying to.
If you mail them directly (or rather mail their PA as they are probably too important to read things themselves), at least someone - maybe a decision maker - will actually see your application.

It's all falsehoods and manipulation, and the only way to win that game is not to play. Mind you, unexpectedly starting a new conversation about an unrelated and completely trivial topic is not a bad tactic.

I understand a couple of thousand travelled, most missing large parts of the first half as Portsmouth didn't expect much of an away following.
From the radio, it sounded - once again - that the back 4 (and the team in general) can't defend.
