*snigger* you said the S word. At my old age I should be exempt from heavy lifting.

Friday is when I was told to ring, the man on the phone said I should hear back before then but I doubt it now. Apparently I was removed from diff list and put on pending last week. Funfun.

I say it quite often and always have the same thought each time :eek:

Old age , hah! You're just a young thing. If I'm not exempt you sure as hell ain't. Hope you're still doing those 'special' exercises :lol:

Gosh, you're so childish. :p

I was until I got germs. I've cut back exercises to gentle stuff until I'm fixed. In the past I tried to push through and made it worse. Be nice to get out for another vom inducing circuit.

Yep, I know, good isn't it :D

Bloody lightweight ;) Only kidding best to just do what you can, no pint making yourself worse and ruin all the good work you've done so far. Even my RM fitness instructor took 10days off when he got this flu bug that's going around.
On that note this old git is off to bed. Another round of PT tomorrow.

No comment.

I am obeying the fitness plan I was given by the recruiter. Says in there you'll prolong germs by trying to push through as it wrecks your immune system. The gerbs aren't that bad now, that tomorrow will be all fixed, or enough to start full duty.
Showing your age now ma'am.

Suspect I'm now signed up for about 150 units of grief. UoG is a new currency, 1 UoG is equal to £50 or 5 minutes working on a unwanted laborious task.

The £50 may be about right but trust me 1 UoG is much more than 5 minutes of embuggerance factor. It has to be 20mins at least, possibly 30. :D

I must've paid off about 10UoG trying to get a appointment date from my recruiter then. Getting the feeling he is trying to fob me off now. Rang a couple of times today "he is in an interview, he'll call you when he gets out" hear nout for hours, try again, same message. They might not think much of my old recruiter, but at least he got **** done.

:hug: is that better ;)
 
No, because now I need to waste time on Monday chasing this crap up again.

This experience is falling short of my customer service expectations.:p

Get used to it ;) Leave all expectations at the office with your application :D

p.s On a more serious note ,don't forget you are just one of possibly hundreds of applicants that your recruiter will be dealing with. It's a busy job, you will not be the only person calling several times a day wanting to speak to him. The Army might be cutting numbers but they are at full flow with recruiting. So give him a chance to get back to you. I'm sure if you were rushed off your feet, it might just happen that you would call someone back the next day, rather than the day they called.

I'm aware of this, I was saying it sarcastically after a client said it to us after we didn't get back to him about his nothing issue (couldn't figure out how to change his wallpaper) to deal with something more serious (a server had failed). Apparently not giving him a callback after 30 minutes was not acceptable and fell short of his customer service expectations.

Would be nice to finally get a date though, so I can book off some time from work. >.<

'ere Bix, you asking this fine lady out for a drink or summat??:D:p:D
God, you need to grow up sir... the only date one would get from Ms Rover is full of pain, shouting, filth and suffering. Normally you have to pay extra for that sort of service. :p
