BFTD Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 That sounds horrendous Dave - i just don't like bragging about myself to other people i am quite content with the way i am and know what I'm good at and what I'm like as a worker, i would just rather skip to the interview rather than write about how great i am when in reality i know that i am quite a ridiculously silly person. Its probably why i have got nowhere in life thus far tbh This. It sucks that bragging is an essential life skill. My father-in-law was a high-up executive at a big American multinational, and you could see exactly how he'd done so well. The kind of guy who would remind people for years about the one time he bought them a beer, and would get stroppy if an additional 'thank you' wasn't forthcoming. I'm sure he had no qualms with reminding everyone of his awesomeness come review time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suppose it is, the sad thing is once my foot is in the door i am the most cocky confident b*****d you could ever see but when applying for jobs and putting myself out there i am a total shit head. This is a burden i am stricken with sadly as i am the first person to point out that i am a dick head, i blame it on my father and bosses being overly harsh on me Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BFTD Posted July 10, 2015 Author Share Posted July 10, 2015 My dinner's on the table when I get home from work and my uniform's ironed and hanging up for the following morning. I can live with it. It's sweet that you let him borrow it TBH. Lucky guy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The quoted post has been forever saved into my phone, so that 18 years down the line when I'm still sponging off her she will be reminded of how happy she used to be, before I basically crushed her soul by not getting a job.

Sure, two dickheads working together would probably bankrupt the company, but that level of honesty deserves reward. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If it's good enough for you, it's going on there for me too. Not that it's going to be much use for this Assistant Jizzmopper position.

Scary Bear Posted July 10, 2015 Share Posted July 10, 2015 I'm genuinely thinking of putting gay on the equal opportunities form from now on. As a young, straight, atheist white man I'm doing horribly on the quota front. Good call. I'm thinking of putting down that I'm disabled in my next application.
