Had a good one yesterday from Reed.

Reed pleb called up ..hi how are you blah...just checking on your situation.
Me: just started looking for a new role, only posted my CV yesterday.
Reed pleb: So any interviews lined up any thing in the pipe line?
Me: No today's only the first day of looking
Reed pleb: audible sigh - clatter of receiver being put down.
