gilly she sounds like my youngest sister 
From the recruitment point of view, better the innocents who come out with such things than the devious so and sos who lie and cheat! I've seen them all.
She's probably very good at her job and just a sweet person who wouldn't recognise subterfuge if it hit her in the face. 
(GillyBob) This has been bothering me!
Did she actually admit to you that she told the person who offered her the job about her secret Santa remark, or did you overhear it?
It would sort of add to my picture of her.
Oh dear! Reminds me of the young woman who, when we asked her if she had any questions for us in her interview for an admin post, said 'do you honour holidays already planned?' We said 'yes, which weeks are you talking about?' She replied 'oh, probably over Christmas and New Year, but I've not sorted it out yet.' Wanting to be helpful, we asked 'what's stopping you?' 'Well, I've run out of leave now, but I can start afresh when I get this job.' Cheek!
She sounds perfectly lovely and I can see exactly where she is coming from - or at least I could untill you added the bit about the bus fares!!

I think the other applicants might not have been available until after the annual easter egg hunt anno
Makes me wonder what the other job applicants were like.

Yes Sook she is totally airy fairy most of the time how the hell she ever got the job in the first place is beyond me but she's harmless.
Oh I'm sure it will be Marelli I tried telling her that the £15 per week in saved bus fares were worth more than the loss of the "secret santa gift" but apparently "its not about the money"
- I hope the wee present's worth waiting for, gillybob!!
I'm 
they agreed
Nice to know the admin of the NHS is in such competent hands 
My sister is not the brightest button in the box but this one really takes the biscuit;
She works in the NHS (admin) and applied for a new job in a hospital nearer to home. There were quite a few candidates up for the new post. She received a telephone call yesterday afternoon from a lady in HR who said "I am just calling to tell you that you have been successful and we would like to offer you the job" what did my sister say?
"Oh thank you, but can I not start until after Christmas because I have spent £10 on the Secret Santa present and would hate to waste it"
I bet HR are wondering what kind of looney they have appointed!
