To ask you to apply for Dominic Cummings’ job

23 replies

WeirdoMisfit · 07/01/2020 09:15

I’m going to apply for the communications role as I’m a prolific mumsnet user. Obviously I’ve namechanged as I don’t want him peeking at all my past posts and sending the Russians round with their polonium. I’m also very good at telling people to FOTTFSOF so I’m clearly an expert. And I fit the misfit bracket too. What’s not to love?

My first task will be to brush the boy’s hair (what’s left of it) and to send his clothes to the dry cleaners. And to buy him a nice belt from John Lewis.

Here is the link to his blog page which outlines the job specs, plus a little screen grab if his email address. See? I told you I was good at communicating.

Please waste half an hour of your life sending him your job application and hopefully he will be too busy sorting through the CVs to do any more damage.

Thank you.

Have you thought that through OP?

ThunderGarlic · 07/01/2020 09:44

YANBU. I like your style.

MaxNormal · 07/01/2020 09:47

YANBU, I certainly have some ideas for him, as does my brother.

Annasgirl · 07/01/2020 09:50

YANBU but I hope you are aged about 21 because if not you are too old to be of any use in this brave new world.

MoltoAgitato · 07/01/2020 09:58

Can’t you just identify as a 21 year old?

thejollyroger · 07/01/2020 10:08

😂

Unfortunately I think the person going through those applications will be some poorly paid Humanities graduate from Oxbridge.

EuphorbiaHemlockthe1st · 07/01/2020 10:08

I'm disappointed he hasn't bothered with engineers. Most infrastructure projects have not been well implemented - look at the arguments of another strip at Heathrow and HS2 is a disaster imv - for the money being spent it isn't going to produce enough benefit.

Ok mathematicians can study the stats but you still need someone with on the ground knowledge/ experience to filter the bollox.

Also - searching for geeks - bluddy hell look what geeks have done for society - with the ability to do whatever on the dark web leading to more crime and killings, porn, stress and anxiety in the population. The last think we need is Geeks.

I will write and tell him this. Also my MP........ I live in a rural area and my MP receives limited correspondence so responds to my emails.
Others should do the same if they have views on this.

WeirdoMisfit · 07/01/2020 10:09

Good idea about self-IDing as a 21 year old. Actually, I AM 21 and a bit.

Max it is your public duty to tell DC exactly what you and your brother have planned for him.

Astonished he didn't ask for a stylist also...

WeirdoMisfit · 07/01/2020 10:38

Well, Phil, here’s your chance to tell him that you need one.

Peeps - set up alternative email addresses for your job application, though. You don’t want the Heavies arriving....

I see you are thinking it through now OP - hope you hadn’t already sent your CV off😉.

Best of luck☘️

WeirdoMisfit · 07/01/2020 11:09

Ah, now I know what you mean choc!

FenellaVelour · 07/01/2020 11:11

Gmail? 🤔

EleanorTopaz · 07/01/2020 12:57

Cor, you're clever aren't you?

WeirdoMisfit · 07/01/2020 15:19

Well, hopefully “cleverer”(sic) than Dominic Wink

Uri Geller has applied!

ThunderGarlic · 08/01/2020 14:16

Do you think the three of you could work well together?

SaskiaRembrandt · 08/01/2020 14:41

I was going to comment on the gmail address too - does he not have access to the governmental network?

Dear Arsehangingout

As a master of origami, let me show you how to fold the sheets of A4 so you can file them where our best ideas come from.

WeirdoMisfit · 08/01/2020 15:18

Surely it’s where his best ideas come from 😆

Somemore · 08/01/2020 15:21

I'm so far past 21, but reckon my 15 would fit in nicely... In that he'd be opinionated, belligerent and quick to patronise people who don't agree with him. Of course he's too lazy to apply himself so I think I'll do it for him!

PerkingFaintly · 08/01/2020 15:23

YADNBU. I had that very thought myself... Wink

Mockers2020Vision · 08/01/2020 16:13

...'where your best ideas come from, obvs.

Govt. by teenagers, a hebeocracy, good idea. Any bother, they'll get all their mates to swear at you online.
