so my new place has tv channels, I havent had tv in over 2 years (I have A tv, I just watch dvds/blurays/downloaded stuff on it) I havent missed much, tv is absolute sh1te for 95% of it save a few good shows. what happened the Discovery channel? it used to have great documentaries now its all sh1te like storage wars or auction hunters. reality tv needs to die a death.

Phone interview tomorrow evening.

Have never done phone interview before.

Don't know how to approach phone interview.

Thank Jesus that's over. I don't think I've ever been so nervous in my life :eek:
Just as well they can't see all the FIDGETING.

got through my planning much quicker than I thought I would. Delighted!

What did they ask you RacoonQueen? Like you I would have no idea how to do a phone interview! I would find it hard not being able to read facial expressions I think.

All they asked was how I found out about the job, why I'd like to work there, what experience I have that I could apply to the job, something I'd done in previous employment to improve the way things are done and of course any questions (nope, I almost burnt google out googling things about this job). Very informal really.

Yeah, not being able to read facial expressions was my biggest worry and thats what I found hard. With a face to face interview you can gauge whether you're giving the answer they want or not, whether you need to give more information/shut up etc

Good luck with the driving test teletextpear!

I won't be doing mine for ages but when my brother did his the first time round, the examiner told him 'to drive like a young male driver usually drives'. Then after 50 minutes when he only had 2 marks against him (of the not serious marks...grade 1?) the examiner took him out for an extra 15 minutes and he picked up one more mark. 1hour and 5 minutes is supposed to be long for a test

In other news - like 2 weeks ago the photoconductor (thingy) on my printer broke and would have cost like 220e to replace - so instead I decided to try fix it myself and bought this thing off the internet to help reset it for 20e. IT WORKED

Granted I spent a good 3 hours deconstructing the thing and probably more time shouting profanities at it...still glad I saved some money. :cool:

think thats bad try do a one way webcam interview, that was horrible. I dont mind doing phone interviews I talk on the phone 8hrs a day anyway so its something I'm well used to, yet I hate chatting to people on the phone outside work lol I text everyone the only people I ring are my parents

Brought the dog for a walk there with my brother and she jumped from a very high drop into water. She is in total shock. We brought her to the vets there and she has internal damage and bleeding She is very old anyway and her kidneys have been failing for a while so I'd say this is it.

They are keeping her in overnight hoping the internal bleeding clots if not she'll need surgery and they basically said there is no point on giving her surgery because she won't make it through it.

One of my best friends is a nurse at the clinic (she was there when we dropped her in) so I am going to call her when she finishes work and ask her what the story is. Wahh.

Yeah I hate chatting on the phone. Even friends and boyfriends I'd rather text them than talk to them. Especially people who don't ring for any specific reason other than a chat and you just get empty silences...

Awww no. I'm so sorry. My stomach jumps every time my dogs do something like that. Hope it turns out ok, can't imagine how I'd feel if I was facing what you are. My mutts are my babas.

Good grief no! It's a vital manoeuvre. You do it every time you reverse into a parking space or your driveway. It's so much safer reversing in and driving out than the other way around.

you do reverse into the driveway/parking space don't you?...

I've just realised I've never lived anywhere that I had to reverse into my driveway, is that weird?

I know Acoshla said this before but wedding forums are scary, scary places... Some mentalist asserting that she wouldn't attend a friend's wedding if she didn't like the invitations, she must be a great laugh at parties

I read that same thread To be fair that invite was not nice, playing on such a stupid sexist old joke.

I like to read them sometimes just to feel so very normal, same reason I watch programmes about morbidly obese American people, I feel so skinny and healthy after it

my grandparents park sort of at the side of their driveway on the right
so i drive in, pull sharp left, and reverse between their two cars
handy for heading out again
great seeing the impressed look on my grandfather's face when they haven't left room for me and i squash in between :pac:

can't be arsed reversing into driving spaces in car parks though, usually there's someone behind you waiting, and i've no problems reversing out

An app on the iPhone. You choose from 3 words and have to draw one of them, the other person then gets like 12 letters to choose from to guess what you're drawing. Some are good some are just awful, fat finger syndrome I think. Hilarious what some of ym amtes come up with though

It is on Android.

I've an Android phone and downloaded it. Took it off about twenty minutes later, got so frustrated with it.

My boyfriend is addicted to it.

I'll be honest, I'd love nothing more than to take no notice, but it can be hard. some people are downright rabid with their "opinions" and there is so much ridiculous misinformation and lies flying about, it almost hurts to leave it unchallenged.

Back from kickboxing round 2, I love it. My muscles are now starting to pop out of my arms, I don't even have to tense them to feel them....


I've boxed my knuckles black and blue on both hands, have to hide them from my husband he would hate me hurting myself, I never even realized they were bruised till I got home, the index and pinky knuckles are really bad, the others are bruised but no where near as bad....


Have to remember to take of my engagement ring next week... It cuts into me when I punch.


Im really good at the backwards kick and high double kick. Working on doing the splits but that ain't happening any time soon...

My husband eats in a Thai restraunt and the waiter is a male dressed as a female, we don't take any notice, I don't like Thai food I only eat the rice...

Whatever floats your boat
