    Very Best of Luck Sadderday


    It's whack...

    Was on my mind all weekend too !

    Have to get pis'sed later to distract myself.

    I really want it and did well in the first two interviews but the one this morning wasn't wonderful and I think this is the one that counts.

    Fingers crossed anyway.

    Thanks though I'm all over the shop today, it's after throwing me out big style !!!!

    Ya know when you come out and start thinking about it and you know you said things you shouldn't have and didn't say the things you should have...

    The job I'm in currently I made a total mess of the interview and still got the job.

    So don't be too hard on yourself.

    I was thinking about putting this up earlier today as well, colleague who sits next to me was doing the same thing! I went out for a walk instead. Nothing worse than the sound of a spoon hitting off hollow plastic. :mad:

    In a previous life, I used to sit opposite someone who did that, accompanied by lots of mmm, yum, lip smacking etc. It seemed (to my long suffering ears), like she spent all morning eating. She also kept furry toys, bought for her by her boyfriend, all around her desk. I think they even had names. Ugh. Sometimes the ones on the partition between my desk and hers (mysteriously ;))fell down.
    At the back of all this supposedly innocent sweetness, she was one of the most manipulative lickarses I have ever had the misfortune to work with.

    I'm so glad I work somewhere with a dress code that specifically prohibits all of the above.

    Flip flops? At work?? Jee-yaysis.

    Is it just me, or do they look like brother and sister?

    Were UPC that hard up for actors that they couldn't find people who didn't at least look like they could be related to each other? :confused:

    If they were there before me then fine, but they weren't.

    I hate those situations. I've got hospital appointments on Thursday and Friday. It seems to take about 3 hours before I get out of the one on Thursday and about an hour with the one on Friday. Not looking forward to the 8 buses I'll have to take over the 2 days to get to the appointments.

    Another trivial annoyance. I walked down to my gp to get some results I need to bring to the Consultant on Thursday and he was shut. No notice why, just locked. I'll phone first tomorrow.

    Kids.

    I was sitting at the traffic lights this evening waiting on the lights to change and 2 little scumbags (probably around 13/14) lobbed a sliotar at me and walloped me in the side of my leg. Of course the little fookers thought it was hilarious. I broke this leg 2 years ago and to say it hasn't recovered since then would be the understatement of the year. It is absolutely killing me now.

    Stupid bastards.

    Depending on the phone, if you have a USB cable for it, you should be able to plug it into your laptop to charge it. Then you can get yourself one of those USB chargers in the morning for about €10.

    My housemate keeps putting strong smelling items in the fridge, not covered up, and it actually affects the taste of my chocolate. Onion flavoured milka for me

    It's an iPhone and that's how I noticed there was a problem with it. Wasn't charging when I plugged it into my laptop.

    I was about to ask you if it was an iphone. I recently sold off my iphone 4 and am very happy indeed to see the back of it. I went through new cables like hot meals. The chinese/second hand phone shops started taking the piss and charging 5 euro for them each (not even the branded ones). Sometimes the Euroshops have them for 1.50 and I suspect thats where the Chinese shops get them . Apple wants like 20 euro for one even though they refused to change the design because they liked the aesthetic despite knowing they were a bad design. hardly trivial at all when I realise I must have spent 50 euro on cables in 2 years.

    Sitting at traffic lights when some gypsy boy throws soap suds all over my already clean windscreen. I wont say he did it without asking me because he actually did it despite my clear instructions to leave me alone.

    Hate the way in BK and McD's how they always put your fries on top of the serviettes covering them in grease. Seem like a complete arseways of doing something.

    That girl is far too desperate a singer to attract any kind of crowd. The wearing of a top hat renders her undeserving of life. The use of a scooter renders him undeserving of legs.

    You just reminded me of something. I was working with my dad one time, and he'd hired this labourer for a few weeks. One day the 3 of us went into a cafe. As my father was paying at the till he says to the man "D'you want a serviette, Tom?"

    "Are they nice?" He responded.

    Oh, how those labourers would shock you!
