I kid you not !

Is she a bit of a dumb nut too glass ?

I know she takes her job very seriously Nonnie and is the most honest person you could ever meet.

gilly she sounds like my youngest sister

Good point, Nonnie!

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.

Oh dear what have I started ?

She admitted it Nelliemoser she said the lady from HR laughed over the phone. I said, "I think she might have thought you were joking" to which my sister replied "Oh dear do you think so? perhaps I should ring her back and tell her I wasn't!"

She wouldnt hurt a fly !

(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!!

Gillybob

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.

gilly

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!!

gillybob she sounds just like mine, a total air head.

I'm they agreed

Exactly Aka so when you appointment gets c*cked up, or the clinic is overbooked you know why don't you?

Nice to know the admin of the NHS is in such competent hands
