Sadly, this is true. At least things get a bit easier with online applications. You don't have to spent so much money on your application portfolio.

And even then it's time consuming only for them to not give you a fucking answer.

Well, most companies send you back your portfolio, so you can simply reuse it. But with online applications, most don't even bother to give you a reply at all. That sucks.

There never was Hesburger here so I have nothing to worry about.

Let's just hope you never have to visit this shithole. Seriously, it's like Hesburger sells the crap that got thrown away at BK/McD.

Never visit Germany? But they have tons of stuff for metal.

Actually, I was referring to Hesburger when I said "shithole". But I guess there's no country that you can't call a "shithole".

Ah well. I could say you shouldn't visit the shithole known as Britain but too late for that.

I wont be around for the next couple of weeks or so. Coop has kindly agreed to depositing my EXP for me while I'm not around. If you need to know why you can read the message I left in the EGB.

Had a fun party last night. I was originally going to leave at 10:30 at night due to heading back to the Wirral before the train services close off for the night but I ended up crashing at the flat the party was held at. I simply couldn't stop my good time here so it was up until 7 in the morning laughing non-stop at one guy who drank 3/4 of a rum bottle and got sick for it. Videos of it provided lulz.

I have faith that Democracy is the best form of government that we have tried or witnessed so far. You have to take the rough with the smooth. If not, you have to take up a career in politics, to make a difference, yourself.

It's tough but we'll see how it goes. I need a few more to drop dead like flies, otherwise it's not until level 57 when I reach the top 100.

No, you're inferring that I said that. I said that while Democracy may be awful, it happens to be the best form of government that we have tried over the years, or that we have seen other countries try. I believe that Churchill said the same thing.

Yeah, I have one "standard application", which I always change according to which job I apply for. But the results aren't very promising. I sent out about 20 applications, got two job interviews. One of them wanted to make me an offer, but this would have meant to move to a different city. The others don't even bother to reply most of the time. I got about 4 responses. And that includes the 2 job interviews!

Oh well, hopefully the company I currently do an apprenticeship at will make me an offer. Things look good. But I have to finish my studies first, heh.

Good thing you're in a country where apprenticeships don't appear to be backstabbing scumbags. I ought to stab someone in the eye the next time I get rejected for an apprenticeship just because someone "with more experience" got the job.
