Tell the truth that you had a few beers with your lunch. It's not a crime and it wasn't as if you were expecting the interview or that you had any work to do in the afternoon. The guy may have been down the pub himself.:drink:

Lets just hope that the interviewer doesn't read NSC.

And having only ever been to one pub in Kemptown, which was the Barley Mow, then god help the rest of them if that was the best..

And don't drive to the interview.

Denting the new boss's car because you were a bit pissed while reversing into the space MAY not assist you in getting the nod.

I was offered my current job when my (now) boss phoned me on my mobile as I was playing pool in the Kings Head. Don't think I was that far gone at the time, but the jukebox was blaring and it must've been quite obvious I was drinking and playing pool at 12.15 on a Tuesday afternoon.

Damn I miss being unemployed.
:(

You could say you'd been to a funeral (no-one too close, so you don't have to sustain the lie if you get the job - an old family friend will do) this morning, so apologise if you're not on top form.

Chap should then sympathise and say he's sorry to have to called you in in that case.

You come back with some reply about it not being a problem, in fact it rescues you from being gloomy down the pub with everyone else from the funeral.

Then, without ever saying it, you've implied you may have had a drink. But in a context which is forgivable.

Superb :bowdown:

Well there's only so much Trisha I can watch in bed before I get restless. Once the pubs are open I'm usually hankering for a BEATER, some cheesey chips, and a game of pool or arrows.

Well if anyone's interested it went surprisingly well.

Been asked back for a formal assessment (oo err) tomorrow.

I'm normally fairly conservative in job interviews, trying to be more realistic than optimistic but those Harveys I sank gave me rather a lot of false confidence and I was ranting away about how brilliant I was for what seemed like hours.

Every question he threw at me I was like "I'm SUPERB in that area, in fact I'm better than anyone else you could possibly be currently employing. In fact if you don't give me this job you're gonna regret it for the rest of your life, capische?"

And he f***ing loved it. Lapped up my every bullshit word. Proof if ever it was needed that drink IS the answer.

Furthermore when I asked where he was watching the game tonight he asked "oh, who's playing?", confirming my suspicions that he was in fact a batty and thus allowing me the opportunity to put on my best pretty boy act in an effort to win him over.

Didn't suck his cock though

Two observations then:-
1) If he doesnt know the result when you see him tomorrow, he is certainly batty
2) You'll then need to get down and dirty to get the job

Walk in the road, get run down, break leg.

Good excuse.

That really is from the top drawer. You are wasted if you are not thinking up excuses for a living.
