Lol! I'm sure you could find another job. Bosses like that are idiots man.

Yeah, Im looking for something easy & simple - I dont plan on putting my accountancy into good use until I am married and settled down now - where money matters.

So until then I want to have a chilled job, easy, non stressful, something to allow me to enjoy more life & freedom ... thinking about applying to sell holidays for First Choice. I used to sell Caravan Holidays when I was 19 - 21 and loved it, plus I would get discounts on cruising but just thinking about it...

Asked if I would cope with a computer, asked if I was ok at writing letters - never mind the 4 letters after my name, a previous intense 4yr Accounting Course...

Then asked me back for a 2nd interview and he will contact me later this week - in two minds to tell him 'fuck it' - me & my 1mm stubble dont need him as much as perhaps he thinks I do...

Although he seems a bit of a dick I do have to agree with the black shirt comment. Was it a funeral parlour!? Show some colour, it brightens everyone's mood up! Black shirts don't go with any ties other than black really so it stifles individuality there too. Even a white shirt with a funky tie is better!

Next time I need fashion advice, who knew I would be coming to the forums of xboxic!! LOL

LOL, good point - but I dress quite modern, and I guess I looked like I was going for a job as nightclub bar staff

Yeah they're cool if you're going out or whatever but not for a job interview.

Well I still think it's wrong for anyone interviewing to comment on what you choose to wear at the interview considering it's about my skills & experience - especially when there is a detailed work wear guide that you dont get told until after you got the job

But by commenting on my tiny 1mm of facial stubble also tells me, he is just someone who got nothing better to do than try to put down others. He is 5ft 5, had on a pink shirt, pink tie, grey trousers - HUGE HUGE gold watch I could have died for, about 16-18 stone in weight (115Kilos approx for the US ppl) quiffy grey hair and aged between 60 - 65.

Now if I had come dressed as fat 60yr old pink wafer - I wonder what he would have said to me then LOL

[toyota4x4]

Oh he was in PINK...any dude in pinks a bitch to me. No offense to any of yall who wear pink! lol

Sounds to me like a case of "Little Man Syndrome".

I wear pink shirts / ties to work. Why do you have a problem with them? And if it's to do with being gay then shame on you, girls dig pink shirts on guys.

[46Matt]

Prob best to forget about 60 year old pink wafer man and move onwards. Do you really want to work with/for him?

I don't see the problem with pink shirts for guys, personally I don't wear them but that's more to do with me looking like a knob in pink.

[Strawbs]

Has there been any thought to starting an Xboxic facebook page? It's a another way to draw people in to the site. Just a thought. I could help with it if needed.

Mmmm - LOL... but yeah I think women do love pink on men who can pull off a pink shirt. They dont suit me, but its a skintone thing, same as yellow and white dont look great on me.

True though @ I think it was little man syndrome

HAHA! I have no problem really with what ppl wear, as for pink anything on a dude it really does look super queff sorry. I have never and will never put a pink shirt or tie on but thats me. You have the choice of wearing pink, so I have the choice to comment on it, free world!

And yes PJ someone start up a facebook page for this site. A fan page will work or a group page.

That's because they consider gay guys cool since they won't hit on them continuously.

I'd be more than happy to get a facebook page up and running. I bet we can get a lot of followers. I see we have almost 400 followers on twitter.

I think I did originally start one, but I am not on Facebook no more and it probably got deleted, but using the Facebook Apps you can use RSS Feeders to put the News into the Facebook Page. Works the same way I manage the twitter account. It didnt have any followers when I started one, but then I didn't push it as much as I have the twitter page - I'd love the xboxic twitter to hit 1000 followers this year.

I put a protected mode on my own twitter page at the moment, I wanted to slow down followers since the more you get the harder it is to keep track of what people are talking about!! I stopped at 400

Queff equals gay, I assume?! Very sad.

I'm not sure I would be able to keep the facebook xboxic page up to date and all. Otherwise I would create one right now with approval from an Xboxic person. Anyone else want to create one and I'll help when I can?

I looked around on facebook and didn't see any pages, maybe was deleted? There were 4 people who had references to ICGamers.

Matt Keller, Domo Angstetra, Žan Toplišek, Ross Hayward

That would be great if someone could start one, also we have a twitter account?? That works great to transfer headlines to other places such as facebook, myspace, etc.
