believe me....I'm busy...

It's non stop at work at the moment...my present task is interviewing...in the last three days I've interviewed about 100 people... and believe me, at the end of a day doing that it's really hard to look interested and happy to see the final candidate....and listen to them whilst looking as if you are listening!

There have been a few moments of humour....normally after the candidate has left... and normally from their application form...two that stand out...

1. Where it says 'birthplace' on the form, one candidate had written 'Hospital'
2 Where it asks 'have you ever been in hospital?', one candidate had written 'Yes, I visited my friend there last week'

In my particular line of business it seems that the junior staff really move around...a lot....!!! 6 months maximum in one job...it seems that the lure of a few Baht more is better than a stable career....one guy I'd seen was 23 and had already had more jobs than I have had...!

It's all in the wording...

Whilst sunning myself in Cebu, my colleagues were left to move our office to a temporary location whilst our old office is being renovated. I packed most of the stuff in my office before going away, but there were still some bits and pieces in my desk. When I came back there was a box in front of my new desk.....however the word 'table' was missing...



My colleagues couldn't understand my hysterical laughter, until I explained that in England 'drawers' is the old fashioned word for underwear

This happened at work today....the method was not exactly the same, but the end result was....
