Considering this is my first blog post I guess the place to start is the beginning...
Before there was life, before there was planets, stars, there was a collection of gases [Insert other interesting theories of creation here]. Blah blah blah. [Generic blog humour here].
So that brings us up to date! On a more personal level to me I realised something about myself recently. My mind has an incurable tendency to wander. If anything becomes the tiniest bit uninteresting I find myself in a little fantasy world. Sometimes just into a world in the not far future where I am sat doing something that really interests me. If I was to liken myself to any character on the television then it would have to be John Dorian from scrubs due to his phantasmagorical wandering mind as well. The weirdest fantasy I had was during an exam and I had finished far to early and had managed to check through my work several times. I then imagined what would happen if 28 days later infection forms ran into the big hall we were in. I imagined the dedicated students trying to finish; getting slammed out of their chairs, some getting infected and spitting blood all over their work and scribbling violently. I imagined the examiner at the front being the first to go, announcing "five more minutes..." cut short by an infected tackle.
Some student being caught for cheating,
the examiner walking towards him with a purpose,
his sigh of relief as he is jumped by a blood vomiting saviour.
I ended up smiling and laughing to myself.
I think that there should be a rule. A rule that no matter how much you don't want to employ someone you still have to tell them. Searching for a job is slightly soul crushing. Dealing with rejection is fine, at least when you are told "no" you know where you stand. But to be completely ignored is horrible. You wouldn't do it if someone was stood right in front of you and asking you to employ them. You could not just ignore them. It would be a disgusting way to act. So not aknowledging that someone has sent you a CV is just as bad.
Upsetting.
