Interview was vin ordinaire - to use an appropriate term. But, today (Saturday) got a phone call and a job offer from them. Only 15 hours a week but have to work 22 hours next week for training. Woo hoo!

Can I take a raincheck, Coastman? I got a part-time job and have training next week. Sampling some of the wares as we speak...hick....hick.

So glad you got what I was talking about, 404. Realised after I posted that it was a bit cryptic and you might have been thinking "what the heck?"!

Phew.

Now, I am off to Tahiti with Coastman for a life of grass skirts and beaches.

Take it away, 404.....

The next one belongs to our good friend...

Well done, sue!

Tee hee!

You can wear grass shorts...although that sounds rather uncomfortable...and itchy!

So long as he/she didn't post on an online forum after said tasting .

Got to go now. Bloody nervous. Will probably crash my car on the way. Goodnight, Coastman.

Alcoholic beverages. Right up my alley.

I hear Tahiti is lovely this time of year .
I have always fancied living out my days on a beach in a grass skirt.

Have an interview for a part-time job in a shop this morning - not the bakery. I am worried they will ask me questions about their (bloody extensive) product range and find out I have no idea! Aaarrrggghhhh!!! I am supposed to know all about this stuff and I haven't got a clue.

When I started my PhD a friend of mine who was half way through her PhD gave me a hot tip. Any time your supervisor asks about your experiments/data/writing, you just laugh really loud and start talking enthusiastically about something completely different. Your supervisor will be so distracted he/she will not notice you didn't answer the question and forget all about it. Believe me, it works a treat - I used it several times during my own PhD with great success. Admittedly, my supervisor thinks I am a little crazy as a result, but at least it got me out of a couple of sticky situations. I am thinking I will rely on this technique during my interview!

Wish me luck! I have new shoes for the occasion. Yay!

Tell him to take the words "Rolex", "Free", "Viagra" and "Nigerian Bank Account" out of the subject line!

Now is a good time for me, Coastman.

Sorry 404, not for long!
