Goats
<hypatia> So, I go to the post office to post a job app.
<hypatia> And I ask for one of those prepaid envelopes - 60c, postage+envelope all in one.
<hypatia> Good deal.
<hypatia> And the envelope is commemorating the newly born Year of the Goat.
<hypatia> Where the address should go, there are brightly coloured, dancing goats.
<jaq> woot
<TongMaster> mmmmm
<hypatia> And a pink background.
<hypatia> They looked quite happy mind you.
<hypatia> For goats.
<jaq> ideal for a job app
<hypatia> Yep.
<hypatia> Australia Post - for that professional touch.
<stibbons> I didn't think goats would go too well with pink.
<DanielS-afk> heh
<hypatia> They were specially coloured goats.
<stibbons> Ahr.
<hypatia> Yellow and blue and green goats.
<hypatia> Happy too.
<DanielS-afk> Yellow and blue and green?
<stibbons> I'd be happy too, if I was blue instead of off-white.
<DanielS-afk> I wouldn't be too happy if someone was shooting paintballs at me.
<stibbons> Off-white goats are incredibly cranky.
<stibbons> As a rule.
<hypatia> So yes, I posted the job app.
<hypatia> I hope they realise that it's Australia Post's fault.
<hypatia> [It's not going to an HR beanie, fortunately.]
<stibbons> Hopefully nobody else has goats on their application.
<stibbons> But then, if you get the job, everybody will call you the goatgirl.
