Sadly, little to report
January 8th 2007 10:30
NZ Post hasn't been in contact, which doesn't give me much hope for hearing any more about the job I was (rather unusually) interviewed for by cellphone, the other day.
I spent part of the morning (when I wasn't yet again hacking down branches of a tree that insists on growing across the roof of our glasshouse (and into our glasshouse - between the glasses!) applying for more jobs or making inquiries about jobs, or contacting the personnel places to remind them that I still exist. I think the latter have a motto: I blink, therefore he ain't. Get out of sight of these people and you may as well be in another country is my view. Once the initial procedures have been carried out, the registrations, the contract signings for them to be able to offer you casual work, the checking of your police record and so on, once all that's out of the way, you go into the big dark cupboard under the stairs (or the computer equivalent) and that's where you stay, until they're forced to bring you out again because you've had the temerity to remind them that you're still looking for a job.
A couple of the advertised jobs require me to send a hand-written application. I don't do 'hand-written'. I've been typing so long, my hand-writing has deteriorated to the point that sometimes I can't read it, let alone a prospective employer. Why on earth do they require hand-written applications in this day and age? Are they going to expect me to hand-write things in the place of employment? Do I want a job where such a requirement was in force?
