11:52:38 Nick: damian_ is now known as damian
13:04:14 Quit: JarZ ([email protected]) Ping timeout for JarZ
19:26:38 <aSH^> yeah but same company and same HR people looking at the apps :p
19:27:23 <JarZ> what happened last time anyway?
19:27:26 <JarZ> didnt they just ignore you?
19:27:40 <damian> ey andy
19:27:41 <aSH^> yeah but deliberately
19:27:46 <damian> who would ignore ash .. pfft.
19:27:47 * damian whistles
19:27:50 <JarZ> what makes you think it's deliberate?
19:28:23 <aSH^> not returning phone calls/emails, and eventually after i bugged them heaps, just telling me that i had been "unsuccessful" and thats all they know
19:28:37 <JarZ> well yeah, most places are like that when it comes to jobs
19:28:57 <damian> yuh, it's true
19:29:03 <JarZ> especially if you're just randomly applying, and not going for something specific
19:29:05 <damian> if you're not successful they generally don't care about you at all
19:29:40 <aSH^> yeah but i worked there before
19:29:51 <aSH^> i reckon as soon as they see my name on an app they'll just put it in the rejected pile
19:29:58 <aSH^> especially now that i've bugged them heaps
19:30:01 <damian> yuh, so they don't THINK you might be shite at the job, they KNOW :P~
19:30:30 <JarZ> what? that's overthinking that so much
19:30:38 <damian> test your theory
19:30:56 <JarZ> you're expecting people to go 'oh, this is from ASHLEY HOLMAN! we wont even give him a chance!'
19:30:59 <JarZ> ?
19:31:04 <damian> apply with a modified resume (general look / feel changed) and a false name, see if they reject ti
19:31:10 <JarZ> people generally dont care that much, i'm sorry to say ;P
19:31:24 <damian> if they don't, take them to court for unfair dismissal of your application :P
19:31:42 <aSH^> i think it's true
19:31:48 <aSH^> i think they have a hard policy on re-employing people
19:31:58 <aSH^> either they take them back or not, perhaps based on informal discussions
19:32:19 <damian> test your theory, bruh!
19:32:30 <damian> it's odd that they'd do that tho
19:32:44 <damian> sure enough, if the person flat out just quit without warning, or was fired
19:33:01 <damian> but in your case, you dismissed yourself in hopes to return there, didn't you?
19:33:06 <damian> in -> with
19:33:23 <JarZ> once again, i think you're overthinking. people dont tend to care that much, especially about some random pleb that configured modems for 'em :P
19:33:39 <damian> hahah
19:33:56 <aSH^> well ok, but thats what i think
19:34:24 <JarZ> sifnt apply for this new job anyway ;P it's much higher level than your other job at internode, and it sounds like it'd suit you quite well
19:34:30 <damian> you're just chucking a subconcious mental sad about not getting the job, which is leading you to believe that you were falsly not hired :P
19:40:29 <JarZ> k anyway
19:40:32 <JarZ> what's everyone up to tonight?
19:45:12 <Dylan> not entirely sure
19:45:13 <Dylan> you?
20:09:02 <JarZ> heading into the city it seems
20:13:48 Quit: thegoldenone_25 ([email protected]) Ping timeout for thegoldenone_25

21:58:25 <aSH^> got anything in mind?
22:02:21 <Dylan> nothing in mind

22:04:25 <Dylan> maybe a sesh at some point
22:05:25 <aSH^> yeah

22:29:37 <aSH^> You cannot send this file because it appears to be in use. Close the program using this file and try again.
22:29:38 <aSH^>

22:34:21 <aSH^> that's the actual position
22:34:24 <aSH^> there are 10 available
22:35:24 <aSH^> my guess would be 1 in each of ACT, NSW, VIC, and 7 in SA
22:35:37 <aSH^> i hope anyway ;p
