Application forms that repeat questions. 

Section 8 – Tell us about yourself and why you want to work for this organisation?

Section 10 – Tell us why you want to work for this organisation?

 

Presumably its wrong to write “see section 8”.

ahdn_paul_06 You should write that cause it shows that you remember the question. They could be asking to make sure you are reading all of the questions and making sure you don’t change your reply.

Its a tedious application form no doubt designed to put of anyone who was not absolutely committed to getting the position. Really you should just get a call saying “you got the job, the application form was just to demonstrate if the applicant had the patient to answer so many stupid repeating questions so well done! When can you start?”.

20th anniversary remasters of “Definitely Maybe” and “(What’s The Story) Morning Glory?”. I’m sorry, but albums with that loud of production DO NOT need remastered!!!

Yes, mosquitoes suck.

That is both true and a play on words, Zig.

Scottish midges are hell, especially on a nice warm evening and 40,000 are swarming around you. Not looking forward to that.

Midges don’t like me, I’ve never been bitten by one.

Mosquitoes on the other hands, the barstewards (credit to Ron Nasty) love me- every time I go to France they maul my arms and legs and I have a weird reaction to them where it looks like I’ve got measles, not the nicest sight.

I just looked up midges (not all of which are blood-suckers) and apparently we have them–the biting sort– in the US, only they’re called no-see-ums. 

I mostly have a problem with mosquitoes though. Couldn’t get to sleep for the longest time last night, was so busy itching.

They really f****d that up.

BUT the remaster of Be Here Now will bring us the Mustique demo’s!

 

Pet Peeve: When college just decides to do whatever the f**k they want. Have to do a few group projects that should all be submitted in week ”4.8” and ”4.9” (it’s 4.3 right now) and now they changed the date for one of them to week ”4.6”. THAT’S TWO FCKING WEEKS WE’RE LOSING THERE HELLO! And we had just decided to put that one a bit behind and do it at the end since one of the others had to be finished that week as well. This puts a LOT of pressure on me and my group.

People who say “I don’t like such-and-such’s music because they’re a lousy person in real life.”

So f*****g what?

It doesn’t matter what kind of person they are.  If you dig deep enough into any rock star’s (or any famous person, for that matter) life story, they’re all a******s for some reason or other.  Deal with it.

Agreed. I found that there are no famous music artists who have not done something wrong with their lives a long time ago. No one can get everything right. I don’t care about their lives anymore, just the quality of the music…

Try playing baseball during a swarm. This video is from a playoff game in Cleveland during which a swarm of midges suddenly descended upon the field. You don’t have to watch the whole thing, but check out :54 and 1:25 in. I watched that game on TV and could not believe what I was seeing. The video doesn’t do it justice as it was much worse than it looks here. Later, it was discovered that insect repellant is useless against them. Vid is under spoiler.

To the fountain of perpetual mirth, let it roll for all its worth. And all the children boogie.

Another traffic related peeve.

This has happened to me three times this week alone. During rush hour traffic, some yahoo will try to seak through an intersection on the yellow light before the signal turns to red. Now, their light turns red and jackass is caught in the middle of the intersection meaning we who have the green light can’t move because they are blocking it.

Oh! Oh!…and this one.

If there is an accident in the lanes travelling opposite, everybody travelling in my direction needs to slow down and look at it. GHOULS!!! If you want to get your rocks off looking at a traffic accident, park yer damn car off to the side of the road and have a picnic. I want to get home, dammit!
