Is there a possibility for a continued position based on performance after the aforementioned trial period or not?
ReplyDelete:) I don't know how to answer that, but here goes:
ReplyDeleteThe position of Valentine is strictly temporary, however suitable applicants may consider applying for a longer-term position.
Long term positions may include:
Bug-killer
Jar opener
Heavy furniture mover
Shopping bag carrier
... and many other exciting opportunities.
Ha. Well unfortunately I am taken (you can ask Elsie about the wonderful girl, or your boss if you are still at Matthias Media), though if I find any good applicants I will send them your way and let them know the terms of the position.
ReplyDeleteAnd I was only talking about you but an hour ago with Mum. I just got back to Dubbo, and we were going through all the people she used to know and where they all are now.
(And now I wonder if you have worked out who I am and how I know your mother. Though, to be fair, it can't be any worse as when your mother came up to me at Women's Convention one year and expected me to recognise her. I did place who she was soon enough, but I'm not that good.)
Great post. Very clever.
ReplyDeleteThe story of my life! I am always behind the times!!
ReplyDeleteI am just the man, but the day has gone!!!!!
