My sister's offered to send her her pet snake 😬😂
I hadn't noticed, but Mr C had scattered some oats on the floor round the trap, and they've gone this morning, so they've clearly been investigating. We'll so the same thing tonight.
Anyway, new non-job have slightly redeemed themselves by promptly sending quite comprehensive feedback from the panel this morning. It's useful actually, not really the obvious things I thought they'd pick up on (eg lack of experience in certain areas) but rather some of my answers where I could have given more detail abouvarious aspects, or picked up on things I didn't think to mention. Really useful and thought provoking for next time.
Other than that they were very positive though, so I do feel better about it 😊
(They still could have rung me though 😂)6 -
So glad that the new organisation folk have communicated with you in a useful and timely manner. And it sounds like you aquitted yourself really well in interview - and it's great that you feel better about the whole episode.

We don't ring people Cheery. We assume they are busy during business hours - and everyone's business hours are different even before timezones are taken into consideration. We email, and if they want to have a debrief, we set up a call for it, otherwise it could result in hours of telephone tag.4

I know you're farming Mr KK out for all kinds of jobs but I'm not sure I want him shooting an air rifle under my kitchen sink 😱😂KajiKita said:It’s been a bit of a roller coaster with the interview hasn’t it … Sorry you didn’t get it, but I’m glad the feedback was useful.I can rent out Mr KK with his air rifle and additional sight - how we dealt with our last lot of rats … he’s pretty good! 😉

I'll put my name on the list for the air-rifle solution - we live close to a river & cemetary and there is a rat run through the far end of our long victorian gardens - what I don't like is when they come for a wander and pilfer fallen apples!4 YEARS 10 MONTHS DEBT FREE!!!
