Good morning, everyone!

Katy, yes, very big thunderstorm and brief torrential rain up here in the late afternoon. We lost power for about 40 minutes. Raining this morning but looks like clearing now. Enjoy your appointment! (I should see my barber soon!)

matina, just back from my weekly cardio rehab at Katoomba Hospital. Met some nice people there. Hope you're feeling OK.

Amazing rainbow lorikeet visit just before the torrential rains . . . common down in Sydney, they seem to be rare up here in the mountains. Took a shot from far away because I didn't want to scare them.

(Notice what the naughty cockatoos are doing to my front balcony!)

SebHusPup... Don't let the interview get you down. The first key to getting the job you want is to actually get the interview, something which is difficult to do these days with all the online services screening you out before you even have a true chance at the job. So getting the interview should be considered a victory to begin with
But the real key is to LEARN from the interview. What could you have done differently? Is there something you didn't know that you need to learn before your next interview? Did certain questions throw you off, and if so, prepare and practice better answers for future interviews.
But most importantly, send the interviewer a PERSONAL THANK YOU for their time. While you may not have gotten the job, it's possible that more jobs will open in the future, and EVERYBODY remembers a personal hand written thank you letter from somebody that didn't get the job. This says tons about you that might not have come across in the interview and could help your cause in the future... Plus people who hire talk to people that hire from other companies, and usually mention getting a nice HAND WRITTEN thank you letter.
It doesn't have to be long or fancy, just a simple Thank you for your time and a "keep me in mind if another opportunity at your company becomes available"
In the good old days, I must have interviewed over a thousand people, and most of them I don't remember.
But I do remember almost everybody that took the time to send me a handwritten thank you even when they didn't get the job!

But enough with the lecture...
THE BAR IS OPEN LADIES

[matina]

OH YEAH! thank you JG time for bed for me night night all!

It's too late to be up, but I'm not tired. Also, wow, page 22612.

Welcome to TLWBTF binaryhermit
Hopefully, we won't scare you away

And yes, this has been running for a very long time
Hope to see you posting again

CHEERS!

I'm not sure what I should have expected, it's been running since 2012 and designed for people to post early and often, lol.

Anyway, Coke Zero Sugar is tasty.

[johngriffen]

Thanks for listing your personal poison
I'll have to remember to include it in future posts

CHEERS AGAIN

Sorry, I'm a little awkward sometimes and I've been a little off recently.
Now if I only had faster internet, heh.

[SebHusPup]

Thank you matina and kathy for your encouragement, especially JG for your valuable advices, I really appreciate it. I’ll keep that in mind and put effort in preparing myself in future. I’ll be just like the husky bouncing up and down and chasing next opportunities.


Pj, love the colourful cockatoos! They’re so beautiful!

And welcome binaryhermit! I’m new to TLWBTF too, and you’re not awkward because I didn’t sense any awkwardness from your posts

Lastly... congratulation to JG (and anna) for going green officially!! It is the recognition of you guys’ hard and wonderful works! I really enjoy playing SC

Today was another Christmas lunch party with my colleagues, here are the little gifts we received


Unfortunately, silly me, I won the lucky draw of two cash coupons in the party but I left them in the restaurant (at the floor actually) I dunno if I’m lucky or unlucky person
