    Don't worry, they'll just make the other guy redundant and have you do both jobs for the same money, thats why they all love it so much. :D:pac:

    guys funny story, I bought my sister a geometric pterodactyl necklace off Ali express (I know I'm a consumer whore) to put in her Christmas stocking, it was real cute when it came so I though maybe I'll get myself one of the Triceratops ones...cos you know! so I ordered it back at the start of Feb, it took AGES to arrive! anyway I go home yesterday and there in my postbox is one of those little packets from China. Guess what it was!
    Well reader it was not one Triceratops necklace, BUT TEN!! I accidentally ordered TEN TRICERATOPS NECKLACES!!

    :rolleyes:

    How’s the new job going MrsF? Not really ‘new’ any more, you’re probably well settled in.

    Good luck, Sully. Do we have to call you Dr Sully when you pass?

    Hey QB. The job is going good. Can't believe it has been almost 3 months! everyone seems so nice and had two nights out already. Also stayed at the hotel twice in executive rooms which are really gorgeous. Once for my eldest girls 18th and the other when my two friends from Donegal surprised me with a visit and we went for a night.

    It is very very busy, don't get a second to browse. Plus since I am the manager, I don't want to get caught skiving when everyone is flat out. Really enjoying learning the business. Different from a normal finance job. A few good perks too. Learning more Maltese now since I am surrounded by it, which I enjoy doing.

    Just don't like not having my browse time! can't get on my computer at work to this, and can only check on my phone which is a pain. FB on my phone too. Only whatsapp is easy to use as we have so many work groups.

    My back is to the door, so anyone can see what I am doing. But I don't get time anyway. Missing WW! and everyone here. xx

    Trying times indeed :P

    I'm hoping if I get through the interview I'll get an offer in Sligo which would mean a lot less travelling. And normal working hours again!
    We could have west of Ireland beers

    What’s the job?
