    Tilly, they won't, because it's a poorly performing organisation where the big ticket triumphs mask the daily litany of negative decisions and in-fighting.

    I applied for 2/3 posts I identified, they're based with local authorities, so I wouldn't expect to hear anything until the last minute. I didn't apply for the 3rd as it's c. 45-50 miles away and I can't justify the cost of the commute on such a low wage (relatively).

    Stuggling to find anything else, I look every couple of days and use a broad range of sites.

    Just needed to vent, the internet is a safety valve!

    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort

    I believe Alchemilla has a phrase for the phase you're going through.

    I hope something good comes through soon!

    Oh and if you can't vent on your own thread, where can you?!

    Yes, like all INFJs, it !!!!es me off when my world view cannot be imposed on the disordered universe of the average office :rotfl:

    Seriously annoying day though, at one point I was having vivid fantasies about wrapping my coffee mug round the back of our Head of IT's head :D
