This is all some evil conspiracy by the Greens, to turn us all into vegetarians. Who ever voted for them has some serious apologising to do.

Good.

I think.

The guy interviewing me was real interested in my CV, said he'd done pretty much everything I had, but years earlier, he was about ten years older than me.

He said he had a couple more interviews to do, and I'd know by the end of the week.

It was more like a chat with the dude than an interview tbh.

We'll see.

Thats a good thing. My manager is a big GAA head, the newest guy we have was interviewed by him. The new gay is also a MASSIVE GAA fan. He told me the interview was about 20 mins of the usual and a 45 minute chat on GAA. He got the job. Having loads in common with the interviewer is a very good thing.

Good luck dude. Hope ya get it.

Des, that definately sounds good. As with the other lads, I got a job in the past just from getting on with the interviewer and having a bit in common. Had played for the same soccer team at different times in the past.

Good luck anyway man!

Yup, I hated the Irish guy at first because he seems to be trying so hard to let everyone know he's Irish, grown to like him now though, Roy is great.

Renham, the main boss, is amazing.
Have you met Richmond yet?
