Team meeting interview on Monday..
The stress, my 2nd interview in 21 years..
Not sure I want a job let alone this job..

'Tell me about yourself'..

"Im a grumpy f##k with nothing to say !!"

A friend had a word with a friend of a friend..
They all meant well, I'm just useless at selling myself..
Honestly I'm a good worker..not the sharpest but at least I know it !!

I love liquer, it's my end of the night drink if I'm on a big night out. Baileys and ice.
4AD, do you have someone to do a mock interview with before Monday?

Baileys/irish knights/ballycastle what have you, drank so much of that the last few months i think i forgot the taste of coffee without it

I think it's Ballycastle!
I'd say pretty calorific mixed with coffee and sugar. Oh well! We'll live a little.

Gremlinertia

Oh no need for sugar at all, just a measure, no cream needed every time either, hence why i was having it so often

Enjoying bottles of Carlsberg, listening to Madlib. What a buzz

Google the STAR technique.

I detest interviews, hate the bs , definitely STAR , health and safety is also a biggie , handling difficult clients/customers is another topical one if applicable. It's really not worth stressing about it especially if you're not too pushed about the job, just tell yourself that by Monday afternoon it will be over and it's up to them then.

Bedside with my hot water bottle, binged tv for hours tonight, stuff that didn't need any concentration eg Gogglebox, Naked Attraction, Vera and a bit of The Late Late, need to do something productive tomorrow ...maybe.

Think of it as They need you more than you need them I mean you are the boss and they are your minions

STAR interview techniques, never heard of it, but it appears interesting, thanks. (no planned interviews)

Early mornings in Ramadan are kinda like that Will Smith movie, waking up and the streets are totally deserted. So great time for me to go walking :)

Nespresso first of course.

Gremlinertia

You should have Mutt with you to complete the look!.

Graces7

Shhhh!

It is so utterly deeply silent out here... Grey and chilly... nothing planned just a quiet old day and hopefully sorting a big new container as I got the compost in; carrots ( soil is too shallow here) and various other roots.. seaweed at the base..

Nothing to knit and I really hate that! HATE it! idle hands are not my scene.
GRRRRR!! Makes me feel as useless as I am!.

Glorious morning here, attending a friends mother’s funeral later, she was diagnosed with terminal cancer last year. Very sad

Poochie05

Beautiful sunshine here this morning and frost is clearing, stunning!
I am meeting a friend for a walk today and ridiculously excited about it

Gremlinertia

Home again, busy night. Try not to noodle around online too long..

smurfjed

Watching the Royal funeral.

Autosport

Not long home from the funeral, very sad day.

In other news the sun is shining here and Alfie is ready for his walk

Saying goodbye as someone has done something to me on boards and I cannto cope or stay any more. Just too much. I strive to be strong and give to you all but these days I am so very very ill and in pain. Love you all , Blessings and peace . Be well and stay well. It is too much for e at my age. Just is the aggreesion; reprted it but cannot face logging on after this in case it goes on. Just all too mcu with so many deaths in my familh etc. THANK YOU ALL for all your kindness. You are all I have in si many ways.

Out and about on a drive with my OH on this sunny but chilly evening. :cool:

Gremlinertia

What a day. And it's only been three hours for me so far. Comfort eating is the only way.

Mixed fortunes day for the Where'ers it seems.

Hanging at home. Mad busy day (ha ha I mean it's all relative...) organising new furniture that arrived, rearranging pictures, doing some spring planting... Feels so good to be busy and doing stuff again where I can see a material outcome. Know what I mean?

Auto, sorry for your loss.
An elderly neighbour whom I shop for (I thought I could phase that out with vaccinations etc but I would miss them and their gossip and stories too much so I'm waiting to be "fired" :P) told me that she lost 3 friends this week. Old age, illness etc. but with one exception is missing the funerals. She's of an age where all her family/friends are dying. And she's cool out and brave but I was so so sad for her.

Anyway, chilling for the night. Hope tomorrow is bright and sunny, it's time to get back into some long morning runs. Needs must. Sigh.

Purple Mountain

Auto, funerals these days are so tough. Feels strange not to be able to hug people or at least shake hands.
I'm here watching Neil Jordan on TT. Cannot believe he is 71, he looks mid 60s to me.

The Inbetween is mine

Long day, lots going on, can't be dealing with people getting their píssy knickers in a twist, life's waaayy too short for that .... Night all

JupiterKid

Chilling on the sofa in my OH’s place, re-watching Downton Abbey series 5 on the DVD player.

Auto, sorry for your friend’s loss.

Ah no, Graces7, please don’t go. I love your posts on the simplicity and serenity of your island life. You are a tonic to the souls of many in this thread.

Haven't had that many interactions with yourself but you really shouldn't allow bullies make you leave this site, report them. Take care

Night all:)

Disappointed to see Graces7 leave again, there are some people who have taken a dislike to her in other topics and she has suffered because of it. It is really sad as I see this as one of her only lifelines. But we can still keep in touch with her through her blog.

Morning time, Nespresso and a walk. Sky is crystal clear and I don’t think that I have to work today.

Autosport

Morning all Thanks for all your messages, very strange not to be able to hug but we will again.

I don’t know what happened but Grace should feel safe to post in here

Happy Sunday!!!

Totally agree with you Smurfjed. Some people just can't help themselves and should be ashamed of themselves for bullying a woman of her age too.

Bedside, just about to get up and do the Sunday fryup
