Just relax as much as possible. Try to see it as a learning experience rather than a make or break interview. Have confidence in yourself....and try to picture the interviewer naked!

I remember when I used to interview people. It totally freaked me out to think that some Hotie lady was imagining me naked.

The poor girls were probably ill at the sight of me!

I'm trying to learn answers off by heart so I don't mess up.. I already have a job so I don't even know if I want this one
I'm useless at thinking on the spot!

Friend: seriously?! That's so expensive.
Me: didn't you spend 23 on one lipstick??
Friend: eh yeah

I went into the supermarket in sunshine, and came out to black sky and wind. My copy of Lidl News blew out of the trolley and wrapped around my face.

My uncles wife trivally annoyes me and beyond. She treats everyone like they are remedial or something. And questions my mother intensively and pries way too much. "Is mud mask working yet?", " What did mudmask's sister pay for her house?". How can people be so blatenly rude and noisy? I've been in college and am planning on continuing straight into a masters so I've it done with, but this is deemed ridiculous in her opinion as I should be working full time

Tell her to **** off. People like that tend to be deeply unhappy with their life choices and pick other people's lives apart to give them a sense of superiority and accomplishment that they can't get anywhere else.

TA'd that Dublin Comic Con only lasts 2 days. Most fun I've had in ages!
Also, very annoyed that not only is there nowhere to sit to wait for the buses/Swords Express outside North Wall Quay but also that I was left standing for 40 minutes as the shagging Swords Express never showed up. Cost me €21 taxi fare to get home! I could've used my bus pass for free and gotten another film cell out of that money! :mad:
Lastly, TA'd that I might be slightly addicted to buying Funko Pop figurines. I have two already. Why are they so cute?! WHHHHY?!

Best case scenario is that you blow a fuse in the kettle. Possibly a fuse in your fusebox. You could set the kettle on fire depending on how fast the safety kicks in.
The kettle will be a right off due to burn damage at the element. You may damage the counter that the kettle is on due to heat damage.

Go for it!

I knocked over a jug of hot water at work, all over some cutlery.

I am trivially pleased that I reacted fast and picked up the jug before half the water was gone.

Selfies. Selfie sticks even more, what a waste of common sense.

Saucepan lids - storing them, specifically. Every time I rummage in the saucepan press there's an avalance of saucepan lids. I wish there was a neat and easy way to store the blasted things. Mostly, I wish I had more storage space!

Also, I keep forgetting to buy rubber gloves and my current ones are stinky inside.

I recently discovered there's this burrito place near where I live that does delivery, and the burritos are damn good. So naturally, any time I've ordered I've tried out a different salsa for the filling.

Smoked chipotle - that was good.
Jalapeno - I liked that one too.
Spicy mango - I can dig it.

Thing is, I like hot salsa, and I found they all lacked a bit of kick. So last night I ordered the habanero salsa.

Holy fucking Jesus tap-dancing Christ. The first bite put me out of action for about 10 minutes. Then it took me the guts of an hour to eat half of it, before I threw the rest in the bin.

I eat hot food, I order hot food, I regularly have staff warn me "This is very very hot" and I'm all "whatevs bro". But this was some other level shit. Total waste of a burrito.

Funny that - I was in the Little Ass Burrito bar in Dublin yesterday. It was more Kick ass than Little ass.
I love Burritos!

Other half is having a bag of chips.

I can smell the salt and vinegary goodness as the aroma wafts out of the slightly soaked brown paper bag.

I, on the other hand, am giving him filthy looks while I consume my chicken breast, peas, carrots and broccoli.

Another children related TA: last night went to dinner with 3 other couples and their children. My two honestly behave very well in restaurants (usually because I bring a load of coulouring books, sticker books, activities etc to keep them entertained if dinner goes on too long). I really can't stand children running wild in a restaurant etc.

Anyway, we went to the restaurant and the other children went wild: shouting, banging cutlery/glasses etc. They must all have piles because they didn't sit for more than 2 minutes. They are all between 4 and 7 years old except my youngest.

The problem was the parents, getting stuck into wine rather than making sure the little ones behaved. I could see other guests getting really fed up, I couldn't blame them one bit. I have it drilled into my two that a restaurant, bar etc is not a playground. We took our two onto our laps, because it was getting out of hand - one of the other children (after having already broken one glass) was banging two glasses together. His mammy and dadddy were seemingly oblivious to it so I got up and took them out of his hand. 'Oh you're so lucky JM, yours are so well behaved'! Eh, maybe because I actually mind them when we go out. I gave crayons and paper to all of the smallies to keep them a bit quiet, but it didn't work for long.

I was mortified, the owner even came over and told the other parents to calm the children down a bit.

Tl;dr: We were one of the tables who TA you all in restaurants. I'm sorry but I did my best.

The amount of women doing nude shots with their hands strategically placed. Everyday I see more and more. Do they have anything else to offer than their bodies. Their intelligence, their career, their achievements??? Today it is Vogue Williams and she is advertising a tan. So she goes butt naked as you do. I honestly believe they are doing a disservice to all women.

Jaysus that was like my Sunday lunch in a local place with the in-laws.

Jug of water arrives at table and Little Tommy shouts "ice cubes!" and stick his hands into the jug.
"Just one ice cube now Tommy" smiles his Mum indulgently as the little sh:tbag continues to swirl his germ-infested hands around the water jug - our fcuking water jug!

I ordered a beer instead.
I ordered several.

Only way I can get through a meal with the little feral brat.

Gobsh1te drivin an Opel Astra up the M7 today being passed a phone by front seat passenger to take a selfie of the all the occupants, first one mustn't have been good enough, so done it again, while swaying, gobsh1te.

That is not TA territory at all. Think the opposite to trivial but hugely annoying. I'm trying to think of a word that describes my annoyance about weddings. Help.

And a bit of a disservice to plenty of chaps too I suspect, I for one won't be renewing my Vogue subscription come December.
