Managed to watch some of the egg chasing today.

Is it mandatory for rugby players to have awful haircuts?

Exhibit A

I put it down to the importation of a fashion to try and look like Aussie rules players. And me being less than fashionable myself I just shrugged it off, it’ll pass. 

That’s the trouble with fashions - they quickly go out of fashion.

Who was Hitler before Hitler?

Presumably before the Thirties there must have been some b*****d used as a(n almost) universal bogeyman. Genghis Khan? Jack the Ripper? Granny Danger?

I believe they have a long list of short French bogeymen in England.

Anyone got much experience with civil service applications?!

I've been temping with them for ages but I'm now applying perm jobs.

Why is iced tea so expensive? Fancied some for the first time in years, so stopped by the shops to buy some on the way home and it's about 50% more expensive than fizzy pop, which is ludicrously pricey itself.

I've spent 39 of my 45 working years toiling at the coal face in the service of Their Majesties. I'm beginning to think I might not find anything better.

The application process is driving me nuts.

I passed one years ago, much to my regret and the State's downfall. 

If it's anything like my lot were you need to give examples of when you've served a customer, time management, that kind of shite. STAR method is usually the one that gets used. 

I've actually had to interview folk for jobs (imagine, me!!) and find the whole process quite crap as it doesn't find the right person* to my mind

Spoiler

*the right person. Ulla, go to work..

I just get the impression that it's very formulaic and if you know how to write the right bullshit and talk talk at interview you'll get through.

I've done one interview, which they had tech difficulties with and left me having on a teams.call for 20min with no one there. It wasn't a disaster and I was only couple points away. But I've written thick end 2000 words today but none of it feels like it captures me.

Is there a way to search my own posts, maybe by using a key word? I'm sure I bet someone on the outcome of this season and want to find the post.
