Good luck
Easy 10 said:I was offered my current job when my (now) boss phoned me on my mobile as I was playing pool in the Kings Head. Don't think I was that far gone at the time, but the jukebox was blaring and it must've been quite obvious I was drinking and playing pool at 12.15 on a Tuesday afternoon.
Damn I miss being unemployed.

Chap should then sympathise and say he's sorry to have to called you in in that case.
You come back with some reply about it not being a problem, in fact it rescues you from being gloomy down the pub with everyone else from the funeral.
Then, without ever saying it, you've implied you may have had a drink. But in a context which is forgivable.
Well there's only so much Trisha I can watch in bed before I get restless. Once the pubs are open I'm usually hankering for a BEATER, some cheesey chips, and a game of pool or arrows.garry nelsons left foot said:Down the pub at 12:15 in the afternoon? I'm impressed...
that anyone that didn't have to can get up that EARLY.

Been asked back for a formal assessment (oo err) tomorrow.
I'm normally fairly conservative in job interviews, trying to be more realistic than optimistic but those Harveys I sank gave me rather a lot of false confidence and I was ranting away about how brilliant I was for what seemed like hours.
Every question he threw at me I was like "I'm SUPERB in that area, in fact I'm better than anyone else you could possibly be currently employing. In fact if you don't give me this job you're gonna regret it for the rest of your life, capische?"
And he f***ing loved it. Lapped up my every bullshit word. Proof if ever it was needed that drink IS the answer.
Furthermore when I asked where he was watching the game tonight he asked "oh, who's playing?", confirming my suspicions that he was in fact a batty and thus allowing me the opportunity to put on my best pretty boy act in an effort to win him over.
Didn't suck his cock though
