Skullduggery

So. Got a call from Manpower this morning, they wanted me to come in and do some data entry tests. Did so. Talked to the woman, who wants to fax my high marks and resume to someone. Found out from her that Summerfest, those fucking assholes, couldn't be bothered to call and let me know they'd hired someone else.

I suspect they hired a friend.

Because I was OVERLY qualified for the fucking receptionist position they had. *snarl*

Luckily, to make my day better, a package arrived from Gordon. I have chocolate! And cds of Excalibur! *dances*

Still think region coding is a fucking mistake.

*distracted*

Look at it this way, if they had hired you, they would have regretted not hiring the friend. It probably worked out best here, even if you didn't get the job. I really do believe that the right job for you is the one you will eventually get. I'm sure you'll get a job soon with your excellent scores.

*hands over the pointy things*

and I agree.. it's pointless, stupid, and deeply annoying. All in the name of marketing.. *bah*

Yay, they arrived!

And don't get me started on region coding, lest I start ranting about videogames and PAL optimisations and things... :P
