My mind shudders...

If I say to you "I have sent your son an email with our HR department's email address. If he wants a job, he should send his resume across". Is that clear? Do you understand this?

Now. If I meet you 3 times and say this to you 3 times, how does that make *me* feel? Do you think I should sympathise with you? Or should I get a little irritated? Would you be surprised if I sound impatient by the third time?

Yea, verily, this is what happened to my work place's security guard. Does it inspire confidence if I need your help? If someone manages to break in to my office - and our night shift skeletal staff are almost all women - do you think I can rely on you for help?

Shit. I had to tell the guard point blank, Uncle, I am not applying for your son, ok? He has to send his resume to my HR to apply, ok?


Good grief. I'm taking steps to protect myself....
