atw: Where are my pills (WAS: Re: CV and interview advice)

Sorry Peter, the pills just dull the emotional pain from reading said comments.

I guess this must be a genetic weakness that runs down the male side of my 
family because the female side don't seem to suffer as I do. For some reason 
they think those type of comments are OK and I have never been able to 
understand why.

Oh well ... such is life ... <sniff> ... Oh where are those damn pills.

Cheers,

Bruce

Ah, Brucie baby !    And here I was, thinking you'd been SO good and had been
taking your pills regularly like a good little feller.
