is it for Admin, you should walk it after all these years 
I have to come up with a scenario of what I would do in a certain situation and how I can work 'at pace' prioritising things and stuff,meanwhile keeping my cool when dealing with offenders in a 'kind of customer service' role

Yeah, but it's how I get through the interview, although I've been offered loads of help.
Saying that, new senior admin officer (SAO) was the only one who applied for his job and they gave it to him 
I don't know many peeps have complained about him, because he knows nothing about the job and delegates the more 'harder' tasks whereas he will do the more menial/easier stuff. Management are aware of this but one in particular defends him because he has mental health problems and doesn't realise how this impacts on everyone that works with him.
Just because he was the only one that applied doesn't make him the best person for the job. I don't know how much more clearly I can say it and it's been said to upper management by longer served staff than me...he's rubbish!

Isn't it funny the amount of stuff we find EEK at the time but laughable afterwards
She was ok Baz, I watched it through the glass door and knew she hadn't banged herself...it was like a Saturday night two bottles of wine slide

I didn't laugh right away even though I was positive she was ok...the look on her face made me laugh...it was a 'wtf just happened look'
