I need to vent!

But here's the killer bit we decided to do a roleplay, and I was to be a customer and the others would act as staff members. We watched 2 other groups do great roleplays and then suddenly one of my group members decided to change our roleplay into a presentation at the last moment without telling any of us. He stuffed the whole group up not just me, but since I was playing the customer I was essentially left without a part and I had to stand there, making me look like I was doing nothing. I chimed in a couple of times to back up others when they made a point but on the whole our presentaiton was piss poor (easily the worst of all the groups) and it looked like I contributed the least....

That sux mate. I had a similar thing happen 12 months ago at a workshop for my work. Being a senior account manager my "team" left it to me to do everything & my "customer" was a division manager. It ended in a standing row over pricing & neither of us would back down but it finished when I coldly told him if he can get it cheaper elsewhere then go & get it elsewhere! When we turned around everyone else has stopped their role play to watch our "fight". Hilarious unlike your scenario unfortunately.

Oh good God what a craptastic .
Oh and today's grand highlight was a bunch of bogans on the Midland train line openly discussing whether or not to bash me to steal my Health Care Card right next to me while they thought I was 1: tripping on LSD (not quite sure about this one) and 2: listening to music (which I was but not so loud I can't hear people right next to me), and then having to wait for half an hour for a bus at Midland station while they stood around and picked up drugs from a fourth dude...sigh.
I hate Midland.

Sorry but I had to laugh at the fact they thought you were tripping.

Sounds like a nightmare week alright. Condolences on your stepdad.

This actually belongs in the good thread as it made me laugh hander than I have in weeks - but to keep it in context I will put it here.



So they wanted the SIM Card returned as it was works property but now that is immaterial.
and with this email, it proves that our HR advisor does not know what SIM cards are, or how they work.

(As part of my previous job, I was sole charge of ALL company mobile phones. So, it is actually my decision to get rid of a SIM card ..)

Again this made me laugh so hard it actually hurt ..

You should send one final email letting them know that their earliest conveneince needs to be before you decide to contact the police about the theft of your property & they have XX hours left until that timeframe expires.

Never understood the purpose of this role playing scenario for interviews! Luckily i've never had to do one!

Feckin' wind today. It made riding my bike an absolute pain in the arse, especially when going up several steep hills.

Went to the dentist today. Not good news I am afraid. A lot of substance abuse over the years has caused large scale damage to my teeth in particular the enamel. At least one needs either a crown or a dental implant.

FFS I am only 32! I was quoted $5-6K for a implant so I doubt I will be going with that.

My advice kids is go to teh f**king dentist on the regular & get things fixed early.
