This all seems quite impromptu. You haven't mentioned it before...

Had a sudden financial windfall recently?? :huh:

Unfortunately he did not return with a stolen ATM machine. Have a wee look in the travel forum, posted there a while a go.

I just tried to hand a couple of bags of jumpers into one of these Cash4Clothes2go2Africa2folkwithnoclothes places. Got the KB as apparently it's too hot in Africa for all my jumpers. Didn't even want the Ralf Lauren. Got £2 for some shorts and teeshirts though.

Didn't you tell them that it fucking snows in Africa.

Applied for a job and they invited me to interview next week. They also contacted my referees at that point, one of whom is my current boss. Now the cat is well and truly out the fucking bag.

What's the fucking need for that?

Imagine contacting your referees for a reference.

If you didn't want your current boss to know, why did you put him as a referee?

Because it was explicity stated one must be your current or most recent employer.

I'm more wondering what the point is in contacting them for a reference before they've met you for interview? Nevermind given an offer of employment. Wasn't stated either at any point of the process.

Imagine how awkward your workplace is going to be, especially if you don't get the job and you have to stay there with them knowing you can't wait to leave the place. 

Just thought I'd bring that to your attention in case you hadn't thought of it yet. No problemo.

Fully aware, part of the reason I'm quite aggreived.

When did you last apply for a job MC? Not meant to be cheeky, genuine question. Since I've started work I've always had to give my most recent employer as a reference, I thought it was standard practice. There is normally a check box where they ask if they can be contacted before the interview. Stupid fucking question but at least they ask rather than go ahead and do it without you knowing.
