Had a letter from the cops

Got a letter come through ... it said on the back 'Fratton Police Station'

My heart skipped a beat (expecting it to mean I had picked up another/new motoring offence)!!! ... I opened it to only find it was where my application had been successful and it was an invite to an for an interview for a job I had applied for there ...

~7 weeks since I applied ... 7 weeks!! ... ... they can poke their interview/job!!

You got another job now or have you decided you are going to become a Dole Merchant ?

You know, I knew somehow, in some way, it'd be your fault!!!

I guess they spend too long/too much manpower sorting out the football yobs and others of the plethora of Portsmooof lowlifes to spend time with job applications!!

Not only were they very slack in processing the application, but they just happened to select a day that I already had another interview arranged for ...

That said, the people that I had that interview set with had/have taken ~4-5 weeks to get back to me to invite me for that interview ... so I am going to tell them to poke it too!!

I've been to Fratton, not a nice bloody place walking through with Newcastle shirts.

To be fair, I think that experience would probably spread a fair bit wider than just Fratton ...

A mate/colleague of mine actually got beaten up in Fratton once ... in broad daylight ... by two teenage GIRLS ... they set on him coz he wasn't wearing a Pompy t-shirt ... no, not coz he was wearing an opposing teams t-shirt (he was just in a normal every day type top, no football connection at all) ... so just coz he wasn't in a pompy t-shirt ...

I am sorry, but is that 'rough' or what?!!?

I friggin hate football and this whole Pompy-FC BS and that is a perfect example of why!!!!!!

You think 7 weeks is bad!

I applied for a job in the MOD last October, I'm still awaiting a date for my interview!

7 weeks isnt a long time. You want to apply for a job in a council. Verna applied about 8 weeks ago, and only got an email yesterday saying that they are still short listing!

So quit ya whinging and just set the date for another time... some people dont have that luxury.

Blue, you dodged the quezzie about the job front. Whatcha doin?
