So I'm in the recruitment office this morning, a little worse for wear but I can focus and I'm filling in all the numerous forms before I get to sit down and have a little chat with my person. Forms filled in, documents signed, yadda yadda yadda, and I'm sat down, admittedly a little nervous because I've never had to look for temp work before.

Anyway, the interview went really well, got quite chatty to the primly attractive girl and spoke about Uni and stuff. When the end of the interview came, I though 'ah, that wasn't that bad' and stood up her shook her hand, in newly-found RelaxTM mode. Then she says 'what are you doing for the rest of the day?', to which I reply...

"Actually I'm a bit hungover so I'll probably just go back to bed."

Round of applause for the assclown. She did a little nervous laugh and looked at me, so I said "Prrrobably shouldn't have said that, should I?"

I might as well have said "Well actually I've got a couple of dead prostitutes in the back of my car and I've got to dispose of them sometime today." In fact, that probably would have got me more work as it shows I'm resourceful.

What a tool.

During my interview for the police I was asked a few questions and these were my answers.

Q: What would you do if you were Chief Constable?
A: I'd sit in my big office and think of my salary? (I know that's not a question, but I said it in that irritating tone of voice so as it becomes one)

Q: What are your views on drugs?
A: My views on drugs?
Q: Yes, what do you think of them?
A: Well, to be honest, they get right up my nose…

I find that when I’m nervous and I’m asked a question I tend to repeat that question asked.

That's alright, it'll be interpreted as honesty and a sense of humour.

I've said some pretty dumb things in interviews - worst was for a forklift company, and the manager was telling me about their 18 tonne lift trucks. I'm like "What's that for, lifting Fire Engines?"

It was the heaviest thing I could think of, but I probably sounded like a right sarcastic git. Got the job though!

I'd laugh (even louder) if you still got the job.

You should've left, then run in and said "Was my evil twin just in here? He's always trying to mess up my life!"
