Hello ladies and gentlepeeps. Sorry for hogging the forums in a moment of selfishness and almost onanistic joy, but after nearly 6 months of sitting on my arse, wallowing in my own self pity at my dying levels of worth, my confidence in tatters and the wolves at the door, I have finally just been offered a job! Unbelievable after the interview I had with the MD yesterday where I had my CV literally ripped up in front of me, but they must have seen something, maybe my defiance at the end, but yes, Waynster finally has a new career.

Self gloating over, and I thankewe.

Think it's one of those wanky nu-management things isn't it, where they tear up your CV and give you a really hard time in the interview, to see how you cope under intense pressure. Like, whether you defend your strengths or just give up and sob. Or something.

Whatever it was, I guess Waynester did the right thing. Good work chap, hopefully it'll lead to good things for you. You deserve a bit of good luck.

She comes over on Monday - its already been organised.

The CV shredding thing - well the MD, who I had the interview with is a qualified Psychologist, and he basically spent an hour going through every job, criticising why I had worked a year here, a couple of years there, saying my CV was a pile of shit. He basically said that something was missing from it - I assumed it was something bad, but he basically drove it out of me why I had so many previous jobs. In a way, he tortured it out of me, how basically because of my poor educational background I seized every opportunity to better myself by moving from one company to another. I guess it was something I had become ashamed of but he made me see it as something to be proud of.

He then tore up my CV and told me, quite literally to go home and rewrite it like I had failed on my homework, but as he ripped it up and repeated that it was shit, I interrupted him and said I would have like to have destroyed it, which I think made him realise how serious I was.

I guess the thing is, he doesn't hire weak people, and although I left the office freaked out and quite emotional, I held my composure and reserve, yet defended myself when I needed to. Perhaps the old army interrogation training helped a bit.

Anyway the job is with a company that handle financial trade information, kind of like Reuters or Bloomberg, but specialising in over the counter trades. Looks very promising, a real crack at a career, and if it works out as I hope it will, I'll be sticking to this one like glue.

Tell me about water boarding. I've always fancied a go on that, it looks a right laugh when I see them doing it on Weymouth Beach.
Not sure why the Al Qaidas don't like it though, maybe they don't like getting their feet wet, must be a muslim thing.

Excellent news Waynster! I look forward to hearing about many more entertaining yet totally insane things your new boss does.

My brother has been water-boarded. He says it was ‘rubbish’.

Better make that 2....

Seriously. I have just received my second job offer today. You struggle for 6 fucking months and then you get 2 offers on one day. Now I have a quandry, which one do I take? Last time I was in this position, I chose the wrong bloody one and got kicked out 7 months later.

Did you pick number one or number two last time?

Actually, on McDirts point, I do want to thank all of you who did encourage me back then, and joking aside I was in a very low place, not far from what was mentioned, but a lot of you did look out for me, and I am really truly grateful for that. I'm gonna get over soon and by you buggars all a drink soon - I'll be able to afford it for a nice change.

I'm bored of my job. I'm struggling to get anything done at the moment.

I'm very jealous of several of my colleagues who have now been put on gardening leave for a couple of months with the promise of redundancy at the end of it. I would love that.

Extreme docking pain is a living hell for those affected, and their families, and is no laughing matter. [Frown]

That's not the point BM.
Getting an engine under your foreskin isn't considered 'sexy' in Docking circles.
