I really need a laptop for a job interview, can't afford it and nobody can lend me one

[Terribleluck]

Would it be terrible of me to buy one to then return it,?

That's fantastic @Terribleluck - here's to a change of username for all the good luck coming your way with your dream job! That'll make for a brilliant Christmas!

I'm so glad Ive got the other job! It turns out that there was indeed a presentation that nobody bothered to tell me about!!

What a shit company! You wouldn't want to work there

Exactly @talk! I was very tempted to not attend at all but it was a massive shock to know that the presentation brief that I chased and chased actually did have to be sent to me! Under normal circumstances I'm sure it would definitely affect my application.
