There's a snitch in the ranks of the helpdesk.
The new girl, probably nice in her own right, is JK's best buddy.
Because of JK, two jobless people missed out on the chance of employment because her friend (who was already working elsewhere) wanted to change jobs.
I've discussed this with others already, and while some are trying to give the new girl the benefit of the doubt most agree with me that JK has obviously pulled strings because she is in a position to do so.
Nevermind the fact that I've heard along the grapevine that one of the other two were certaintly more qualified for the job.
Just figures really.
Now, due to the new girl being JK's buddy, guess who JK is going to ask for a lowdown on what's happening on the helpdesk these days?
Yeup - the new girl.
Both AK and I know that our days of ranting about JK are over. Now we have to be nice as pie.
*sighs*
Fuck that.
The next time JK tells me that I'm "not trained enough", I will quite happily tell her to get fucked.
I just got this email (again)...
PLEASE PASS IT ALONG TO YOUR FRIENDS!!!
I was approached yesterday afternoon around 3:30pm in the Coles parking lot
at Surry Hills, by two males, asking what kind of perfume I was wearing.
Then they asked if I'd like to sample some fabulous scent they were willing
to sell me at a very reasonable rate. I probably would have agreed had I
not received an email some weeks ago, warning of a "Wanna smell this neat
perfume?" scam.
The men continued to stand between parked cars, I guess to wait for someone
else to hit on. I stopped a lady going towards them, pointed at them, and
told her about how I was sent an e-mail at work about someone walking up to
you at the malls or in parking lots, and asking you to SNIFF PERFUME that
they are selling at a cheap price.
THIS IS NOT PERFUME - IT IS ETHER!
When you sniff it, you'll pass out. And they'll take your wallet, your
valuables, and heaven knows what else.
If it were not for this e-mail, I probably would have sniffed the
"perfume". But thanks to the generosity of an emailing friend, I was
spared whatever might have happened to me. I wanted to do the same for you.
IF YOU ARE A MAN AND RECEIVE THIS PASS IT ON TO YOUR WOMEN FRIENDS!!
Ladies this happened to me yesterday and I didn't smell the perfume either
thanks to this eMail! This is true! Believe me, I know! I was over by the
Post Office in the parking lot in Surry Hills at lunch time when I was
approached. So either day or night, it does not matter. There were 3 guys
together when I was approached.
I called the police when I got back to my desk. Like the eMail says above,
LET EVERYONE KNOW ABOUT THIS. YOUR FRIENDS, FAMILY, CO-WORKERS, who ever.
It helped me. The first thing that popped in my head was this eMail
warning.
Honestly, if you see a couple of strange guys in a shopping centre carpark, what does common sense tell you?
If they were really selling something, wouldn't they be INSIDE the shopping centre? Eh?
Common sense says "stay the fuck away from those guys, they look weird". It really is time we trusted our gut feelings again.
And Surry Hills post office does not have a "parking lot". And it's Surrey, not Surry.
So there.
