I've put a review (kinda) up of the new (and frankly awful) Porcupine Tree album "The Incident" up on +1
And then I took it down. What I'd posted was as bad as the album I'd been laying the boot into. Which, I suppose, at least has symmetry. As soon as I work out what the hell I'm trying to say I'll post it up again.
I rang them again yesterday afternoon.
Unavailable.
In a meeting.
Delivering famine relief.
Rescuing a child from a burning building.
Or something.
So they couldn't take the call.
My psychic senses are tingling. This doesn't bode well.
Anyway where was I?
Still looking for a job. At the moment I'm in negotiations with a recruitment agency as to whether or not they should be put me forward for a job that I reckon I'm qualified to do. They on the other hand reckon, on the basis of a CV I sent them two months ago for a completely unrelated job, I'm not suitable. Now you'd think they would simply ask me to update my CV, so that it was more appropriate. Then make a decision. Seems logical. Sensible even. But no. The CV they have, for an non IT job, is one they are using for this new IT job. Not surprisingly it doesn't match the job so they won't consider putting me forward for the role.
And people wonder why I think recruitment agencies are a bunch of useless, inept, two-faced, self-serving fuckers.
I've rang them a few times chasing this asking what the fuck are they at?, Predictably the person I've been dealing with is mysteriously unavailable. And has been since late last week. No doubt they'll be "no longer with us" the next time I ring.
You couldn't make it up.
I'm just not in the form to post anything here at the moment.
I'm sure I'll get my muse back shortly.
In the meantime here is some music.
I'm going to start posting stuff that doesn't fit here on the +1 blog. I haven't quite decided exactly what though. More than likely it will be reviews of things. If you've read the stuff I post here you'll get an idea of the tact I'll be adopting.
