The truth is out there.

I've been literally un-inundated by people wondering why I don't seem to be updating this as much as I once did. Well there are a couple of reasons - the main one being is I got bored with impotently gurning about recruitment agencies. That said, of course I am aware that it's rolling around to the "Angry Since 1967 Worst Recruitment Agency" awards so expect to see some views about whom I believe is most deserving over the next month or so. As an aside, a trip to Belfast City airport brought the advertised image of one particular agency into sharp relief, particularly as I (against my better judgement) had dealings with them the very next day. Needless to say they are still up to their old bollocks. Perhaps I should just advertise jobs which don't exist and save my self the bother of dealing with this shower of charlatans. Of course knowing my luck I'd apply, only to be told (eventually after repeated phone calls) I lacked the sufficient experience or skills, had too much experience, was over skilled, was both too qualified and under qualified, and that actually the non-existent job had in fact been pulled and the position filled by an equally non-existent, yet suitable candidate who had attributes essential to the job which, conveniently, hadn't been included in the job spec. I could then spend my time gurning about the inequity of it all while waggling an indignant finger at those fuckers working for "Angry Since 1967".  

Erm.  

I think, rather worryingly and completely by accident, I've stumbled on the crux of the last 18 months worth of posts I've made on the subject. 

Er....
