Except when you fill out a web form, you have to put your title as Mr, so you will be addressed as Mr Doctor Z Ghost.

Morning RC, did you get your dressing gown washed over the weekend

We had a friend come and stay so I spent the weekend socialising and on a big day out exploring the local city on Saturday. That was nice.

So, yes, I did have to get washed and dressed in out door clothes and so, like HAB, managed my weekly rag rinse.

How are things on Jobserve? I am staying away, as I might apply for something.

Really quiet on there today. Christmas work freeze may be starting to kick in I fear.

What's this email?

Your one-year eligibility period to schedule and take the PMP credential examination has expired. If you wish to pursue the PMP credential, you must reapply and submit the full credential fee again.

How did I manage to forget I had paid for that?

Never mind it was only 465 Euros. <insert sobbing smiley>

What a prat am I.

The PMI has also wiped my experience record. That takes hours and hours to enter.

Bugger. I started re-entering it all, then forgot to go back and finish it the next day.

"Dear Richard Cranium,

Thank you for your interest in the PMP credential. Your application was not submitted within 90 days of when you started it, and as result, has expired.

Thank you,
PMI Customer Care"



I shall not bother paying a third time. Nobody asks for PMI qualifications anyway.

I also got a call late this afternoon: I have an interview on Monday morning for a permie role () and it includes a presentation ().

I called the agent for an update: "He's on leave".

So I ask to speak to whoever is handling the account: "Dunno, really".

So I ask to speak to his team leader: "That's me, I suppose".

So I ask whether they could check the status: "Errm. Err. We'll be in touch."

So I ask when they'll be in touch: "When the agent comes back from holiday."

So I ask when that might be: "I'm not sure. I'll get someone to call you."



For this they'll take 10% of the salary.

The client said at the interview they are facing a reorganisation but are waiting for the details. They are hoping to get the recruitment done before the details are announced, otherwise the empty posts may just be eliminated.
