    How daft is this, I don't know the pay, the hours or anything, :confused:
    it's at the place my brother works:rolleyes:
    but plenty of OT, :cool:

    Can you interview me please:D

    20% less than what you wanted is probably 80% more than JSA:p
    and you might like it aswell:T:A

    I will be working with nice people (if I get it) but on one of those unpleasant projects ;) and yes way more than JSA!!:rotfl:I would interview you if I could - live in the wrong place tho... and there is this little matter of needing a job myself right now!

    Best of luck!
