Subject: What do you think about this decision I'm wanting to make?


Good morning everyone!

It seems that I've woken up a totally new person this morning, for no particular reason. Maybe it's the fact that I've finally gotten over my cold! I just thought that I'll write and ask you all what your thoughts are about a decision I'm trying to make!

Due to the internal changes within the company I'm presently working at, it seems that I've been kind of had a promotion. From a telesales person to more of a field sales position. What that means is that I'm going to have the opportunity to now go out and visit the clients and sell to them directly. What this means is that I'm going to have to go and acquire some suites and have to start looking good for this position. Like my one manager used to say: It's the person they buy, not the product! So it's the whole image thing!

So what I'm debating at present is what to do with my hair? No, don't worry, I'm not planning to cut it short! But do something else quite drastic: dye it brown! I realised this morning when walking past a mirrored window that my roots are looking bad again and it's time to see the hair dresser! But then I really thought about it and realised that at this stage of my life I cant actually afford to go and have a half a head of highlights with a trim for £80 every month! It's just too much! Also considering I'm going into this position, and I am really nervous about it and don't know if I'm going to survive. (Do the job right!) So I'm going to have to sacrifice some things, which I'm thinking that the blonde has to go!

But then the other flip of the coin is that men prefer blondes, and that's who my audience is going to be(who I'm selling too!) The main reason why I decided to go blonde in the first place is because it suits me better and I got men so much easier. But now that I've put on weight (well, allot, for those that haven't seen me recently!) and also I'm so fussy in what guys I go for anyway, what's the point of me trying to satisfy them by having my hair blonde?

So I've decided to just get a 'nice & easy' or something like that and dye my hair brown. Back to my original colour! Much cheaper!

As you can hear, I'm really just trying to talk myself into it! But thought that the best people that would know what I should do would be you that knows me! What do you think, should I go brown or not! I'm taking a vote!

Please vote now!

Thanks for listening. And for the men that I sent this through to: It's you that go for us women, so it's your advise I mostly want to hear!

Matt DC (Matt DC), Thursday, 16 October 2003 12:07 (twenty-one years ago)

Matt - you have to tell this woman that if she goes from blonde to brown only using a packet thing, the end result won't be brown, but the weird greeny-bronze shade of weathered copper. Unless you really want to see her suffer of course.

Anna (Anna), Thursday, 16 October 2003 12:19 (twenty-one years ago)

and acquire some suites

she's going to lug her own furniture round with her!

MarkH (MarkH), Thursday, 16 October 2003 12:25 (twenty-one years ago)

stevem (blueski), Thursday, 16 October 2003 14:46 (twenty-one years ago)

Are you sure you didn't add any of those exclamation points to add to the humor?

Sarah MCLusky (coco), Thursday, 16 October 2003 18:06 (twenty-one years ago)

No, don't worry, I'm not planning to cut it short!

Whew! I was scared for a second there!

This email is hilarious for how it says absolutely nothing at all. Bless my dear old mum and her not-great PC knowledge:

Hi there,
Thanks for replying, it does'nt matter now as dad has fixed the problem with his ISP fellow. Something to do with something that was sent and in the format, made specially for the internal program or some such.

It hurt my brain trying to parse that last sentence.

Trayce (trayce), Thursday, 16 October 2003 22:45 (twenty-one years ago)

"Dear Mr DC,

I would like to apply for the position advertised in the Guardian on 27th October.

I bet no other applicant has offered your company their services as a super heroine?? Because that is exactly what I am doing...

Having had problems paying my rent lately, I have decided to reveal to you my secret identity.

I, -------- ---------, looking for work, am also The Smashingly Breathtaking All Wise SUPER DUPER HYPER WOMAN...

I do understand that other candidates might have more work experience than I do, but they do not live under the samme pressures. Even if I am a fast fluer, it takes time to save the world, and by doing it regularly I am 27 years old and still without a proper job. But really, what is work experience against saving the world?

Looking forward to your reply,

----- ------ (wink)"

(This came with the attachments of a CV in a bright pink Word document, and a 12-page comic attachment in which she had photoshopped herself into a generic Marvel scan). This is quite a desperate length to go to for a menial data entry job.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 12:08 (twenty-one years ago)

I wouldn't hire her, SPECIFICALLY BECAUSE you know that she will waste her entire day scanning things and photoshopping her face into them.

However, I would write back and offer her the URL of ILX, we could do with those kind of job skills here!

Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 12:10 (twenty-one years ago)

I wouldnt offer her the job because she probably already spends all her day on ilx!

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 12:12 (twenty-one years ago)

(In reality, she doesnt' actually want that job, or indeed any job, and she is only applying to fulfill the terms and conditions of her jobseekers allowance.)

Citizen Kate (kate), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 12:15 (twenty-one years ago)

*nods*

Pinkpanther (Pinkpanther), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 12:15 (twenty-one years ago)

haha, my reaction is the opposite - I could barely resist hiring someone like that!

Martin Skidmore (Martin Skidmore), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 18:36 (twenty-one years ago)

It's also worth pointing out that if the pictures in said comic were anything to go by, she is a hottie. Obviously the pictures in question feature her clad all over in pink lycra with a cape, so it's hardly surprising really. I mean, seriously, who on earth applies for a job by sending pictures of themselves clad in pink lycra?

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 19:22 (twenty-one years ago)

We hired someone else.

Matt DC (Matt DC), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 19:23 (twenty-one years ago)

Who wore blue lycra.

Ned Raggett (Ned), Wednesday, 12 November 2003 19:25 (twenty-one years ago)

Just got this:

I just realized that enbeded in my minutes from the last XXXXX XXXXXX division meeting is my own little narrative about the executive director of XXXXXX.
Little comments like "Shut up blabber mouth!" and "Why won't they make him stop talking?!" throughout. I actually sent it out like that. Let's hope no
one reads the minutes too thouroughly or I could be in a fair amount of hot water. I guess I'll find out tomorrow whether I'm in trouble or not as I am in
a XXXX XXXXX meeting.

Here's from today's e-mail from Aunt Fran.....

The fact is that when J----- was living in the house with E---- and staying in that room, your mother would tell us of the things that E---- and J----- did in front of her, and some of the things were disgusting, like at the dinner table he would chew his food and then grab J----- and slide it into her mouth and she would finish it and swallow it. Ugh! Things like that, and other stuff.

Subject: admission

Respected Sir / Madam,
Greetings in the most high name of our Lord Jesus
Christ!
My name is xxxxx xxxxx and a Christian chap. I have
great regard for education and
always on the lookout to get knowledge whenever and
from wherever it is possible.
I believe education should be available to all it just
not available to aristocrat and rich and no one should
be deprived of it. It is education by that we can
transform the ignorance, hate, barbarism, violence,
hypocrisy, darkness and terrorism of this world into
love, harmony, understanding, peace, brotherhood,
justice and enlightenment.
Education is such a gift that helps man suggest the
creator of this vast universe and teaches the art of
happy, joyful and blissful life.
That is way I so wish to be enriched with knowledge
by attending your prestigious English language
institute. So I would like to request you kindly to
help me by giving me a place to study an English
language course.

I hope devoutly that you will consider my request for
admission sympathetically and give a chance to get
knowledge at your esteemed institute.

May our Lord bless you with all of His blessings so
you could share these blessings with needy people!
Yours sincerely in Christ,
xxxxx xxxxx

I swear, this is an entirely unironic extract from another course enquiry:

You see, studying in the UK is the most terrific occation in my entire life. Every time I watch TV and hear your Prime Minister 's voice on TV, I feel cracy and think to myself how beautiful voice he has. And ask myself when in my life I could pronounce English as he does.In fact, I dream of meeting him.

I doubt I will ever get to play the Hammersmith Palais again, and if you need an excuse to return to that great venue and re-live all those great times you had there...well this might be the opportunity. If you let me know by the weekend I can get tickets for £10. What am I on about? Read on:...."

Hello,

I'm a time traveler stuck here in 2003. Upon arriving here my dimensional warp generator stopped working. I trusted a company here by the name of LLC Lasers to repair my Generation 3 52 4350A watch unit, and they fled on me. I am going to need a new DWG unit, prefereably the rechargeable AMD wrist watch model with the GRC79 induction motor, four I80200 warp stabilizers, 512GB of SRAM and the menu driven GUI with front panel XID display.

I will take whatever model you have in stock, as long as its received certification for being safe on carbon based life forms.

In terms of payment: I dont have any Galactic Credits left. Payment can be made in platinum gold or 2003 currency upon safe delivery of unit.

Please transport unit in either a brown paper bag or box to below coordinates on Monday July 28th at (exactly 3:00pm) Eastern Standard Time on the dot. A few minutes prior will be ok, but it cannot be after. If you miss this timeframe please email me.

Latitude N 42.48018 & Longitude W 071.15503 and the Elevation is 96. WARNING: DO NOT ATTEMPT TO TRANSPORT ITEM BY REGULAR MEANS OF TELEPORTATION. THEY ARE MONITORING AND WILL REDIRECT THE SIGNAL!! I DO NOT CARE HOW YOU HAVE TO GET IT HERE, JUST DO IT IN A WAY THAT NO SPYING EYES WILL POSSIBLY BE ABLE TO REDIRECT THE TRANSFERENCE. IT IS VERY IMPORTANT THAT YOU BE ABLE TO MONITOR THE TRANSFER.

Although those coordinates are a secure guarded area, these channels through email are never secure. Unfortunately it is the only form of communication I have right now.

Thank You

Gig review sent to me at work yesterday:

'Good evening we are The Fall' is where the pleasantries start and end with Mark E. Smith. The crowd face a pre-show greeting from the substitute singer (who later led a one song Smith-free encore), and this rant promised a 'terrifying gig'! Mark E. and his ever changing hired hands took to the stage at the Point, Cardiff, and the bulldog chewing a wasp features of the Fall fuhrer confirm the 'terrifying' tag!

The Fall do not pander to fashions, fancies or the fans, and this manifesto has spanned over thirty years of aural anarchy! Veteran aficionados know the score but the new breed enters the cauldron at their own risk, and there are always casualties who cannot survive a 'Rebellious Jukebox' primed on 'Northern Attitude'. This is not the foul sound of spineless, corporate commerciality this is a 'Fall Sound' of gritty, gung ho, garage rock!

A dip in to the past came via the wondrous 'Wings' (a 1983 gem)-and, from there on in the contents of the recent albums 'Fall Heads Roll', 'Reformation Post TLC' and the 2008 tome 'Imperial Wax Solvent' provide a raucous, real deal, rock n roll ride!

The band provides a buoyant backbeat as Smith barks his bile and enforces his stance as the governor who rules with a rod of krypton! The master mixes the music as he tampers with mikes, amps, and instruments to create a fiery furore-and, the always different but always the same label applied to The Fall maintains its momentum!

Smith continues to stand on the outside and his peerless and fearless angular arsenal of perverted pop makes amends for manufactured, musical conformity! After an hour the main man departs after a bit of cat and mouse play with the crowd over a requested re-appearance, but there you go that is what the 'Hip Priest' thrives upon. An annual visit to Cardiff has proven to be a regular date for The Fall, and long may this trend continue!
