Application

[woodface]

The people working in town hall? Total sadists. I applied for a job there last week and this morning I got their response in the mail. The structure of the letter goes something like that:

You applied for a job and we found that you were perfect for it.

Congratulations!

College has decided to not hire you.

WTF? Do not praise me and put a fucking congratulations in the letter if you're going to say no in the next line. It makes me go all OMG!!!! and then WTF???

That is sadistic
That's gotta be the most evil evil job responce ever...wait a minute...they want people who AREN'T perfect for the job? :s they are idiots!

Good luck on the job hunt :)

[woodface]

*shakes head* I know, I want to see which idiot composed that letter. They probably only edit the last paragraph or something.

Thanks.

Well, if you think about it, it's probably better you didn't get the job, you'd probably want to kill the morons after 2 minutes :P

didnt they mix up there standard letters??

[woodface]

Ha! I wouldn't be surprised.

[mylo1012.livejournal.com]

i would so say something! (or walk in ask for the person that signed the letter and hit that person)

[woodface]

*giggles* That'd kinda be amusing.

[mylo1012.livejournal.com]

either way it sucks that you didnt get the job!

Whoops, that was supposed to be a hug *huggles*

[woodface]

*snuggles*

[lyssie.livejournal.com]

...wtf?

I'd suggest calling them. Just say, "Your response letter to me says two opposite things. What's the correct answer?" even if they say something condescending like, "OMG didn't you read the last paragraph?" It's always slightly better to know...

[woodface]

I really don't see the point. They're just twits.

[wendywoo.livejournal.com]

That's odd...And very weird!

*huggles*

Job hunting is sucky..

[woodface]

*snuggles*

Indeed.

hm, in welke bewoordingen was dat? iets met "weerhouden"? (want dat is een tricky one, als het klinkt als "nee" is het eigenlijk een "ja")

[woodface]

Ja, het was iets van we hebben uw kandidatuur weerhouden en meer geluk volgende keer ofzo.

[janegaudi.livejournal.com]

weerhouden is dus, ja we willen u; niet weerhouden is rot op. euh ja, waarschijnlijk weet ge dat wel, maar ik vroeg het mij gewoon af..

[woodface]

Niet weerhouden. Rot op, dus.

[janegaudi.livejournal.com]

maar allez, wat een rare brief! ofwel zijn dat onnozelaars die niet weten dat weerhouden betekent ok.. euh maar er stond meer geluk volgende keer, hmz, dat is prut. fuck that, wat zijn dat voor manieren?

[woodface]

Ons gemeentehuis heeft onnozelaars? Ik sta niet echt versteld. 't Zijn slechte manieren, mijn ma was ook in de war over hoe ze da schreven.

[janegaudi.livejournal.com]

... anders eens bellen om zeker te zijn? *wuift het hoopvolle vlaggetje*

[woodface]

Ik denk dat het duidelijk. Het proficiat ging over mijn CV etc maar het college heeft achteraf besloten toch iemand anders aan te nemen die ze mogelijk al lang op het oog hadden.

[janegaudi.livejournal.com]

mja waarschijnlijk.. maar toch, verdoeme.

[woodface]

Ja, ge zegt geen proficiat in een brief waar ge iemand afwijst. Ge zegt sorry, maar... blablabla.

[ithilmenel.livejournal.com]

Wow, that's really weird... and so wrong. So basically I guess they're looking to hire people who're totally wrong for the job. *shakes head*

I do hope you can find a good job soon.

[woodface]

Uh huh.

Thanks! *hopes so too*

[twofordinner.livejournal.com]

Those people are INSANE. I swear.

[woodface]

Or just really stupid.

[wikidwitch.livejournal.com]

Aw, isn't that nice? They're trying to make you feel better!

But really, some people.

Bastards!

Let the turtle make it all better :D

[woodface]

*stares at turtle* He's in the good crack, isn't he?

[wikidwitch.livejournal.com]

I luff the turtle.

And yes, he most certainly is.

ARGH!!
So they're like that across the border too, eh?

Not quite as dramatic as applying for a job, but I got a parking ticket once, when I was parked in a spot for which I =paid= but the machine didn't give me a ticket. I put a note under my windscreen saying that I paid, but didn't get a ticket from the machine, and lo and behold what was waiting for me stuck underneath my windscreen wiper when I came back.
I sent a letter, didn't pay the fine, and 3/4 of a year later I got a letter that said something along the lines of:

"The fine has been cancelled. Please pay within 28 days or we will charge interest"

I ignored it, didn't do anything about it, and never heard from them again.

Oh and then there's the part where yesterday, I got a letter from the Water Board in Utrecht, who have been trying to get me to pay taxes on a house that isn't mine for years. We (me and the person actually owning the house) have sent at least half a dozen letters explaining that no, I'm not the owner, but E is, and no, even though I lived there and moved out, I'm not the one having to pay the taxes.
Yesterdays letter said that the taxes over 2003 and 2004 (!!!!) won't have to be paid by me since I don't live at the address nor own the property.

I am.. speechless..
