Pack up and go home, the battle’s over and the war is lost...

As you may or may not know, rhionnach has been looking for a job. This is an email she received the other day from an agency, modified only to protect the incredibly guilty; spelling and punctuation are unchanged:

Working on my clients behalf seeking Sales Executive to work form there head office based in Greenock. My clients is a publisher within the advertise sector, where he has various office’s. The right applicant for the role as Sales Executive, should, have business to business experience,advertising sales experience advantage but not essential. The successful applicant should have there own car and well as a clean driver licence. The job role entails new business as well as maintaining existing client base. Performing presentation and solution to clients within the advertising and media sector. Excellent communication skills are essential. If this is you call XXXXXX XXXXX on 0141 XXX XXXX for an immediate interview.

I would like to think that the writer was not a native English speaker, but that would probably be very wishful thinking.

rhionnach has gone to an interview, although hardly in the best frame of mind since she only learned that gythanorth had died this morning just before she had to head out. I never actually met Gytha, although I did see her at at least one con, in the distance surrounded by a cloud of smoke, and I heard rhionnach talk about her often. I do regret I never had a chance to get to know her.

Bloody Hell. I'd not seen Gytha in years - I knew she and Richard had moved up north, but last I'd heard they'd both gafiated post-Intersection - and someone had mentioned that she was ill sometime before Easter, but didn't have any details....

I gather she was at Concussion, although I didn’t see her. rhionnach did, but didn’t recognise her until a bit later. :o(

That's probably working for the Greenock Telegraph, so the horrendous typing/spelling is probably on purpose to make sure that any applicants would be comfortable working in that sort of environment. ;o)

Oh, you mean I was right after all about it not being a native English-speaker? ;o)

[wibbble]

You've visited Greenock then, I take it? ;o)

[tanngrisnir.livejournal.com]

Well, I have passed through, generally fairly swiftly. ;o)

It's a running joke between my mother and me that we close the windows while driving through the Port in case we get infected.

There's a large roadsign just outside Port Glasgow - it looks like someone's been chewing on it. The jokes are endless. ;o)

Yes, I have seen that sign. :D
