Well I need a stiff one, and large at that :D :beer:

Still here in the UK patiently waiting for the call to say our stuff has left so I can get some flights booked, god it's been a long three weeks.

There's no-one in today - all very quiet.

Are you up early? I keep getting confused as HWP gets up in the wee small hours....

Did I tempt no-one to join me? There was a mug of freshly brewed coffee and homemade apple & cinnamon cake on offer... :(

The drinks are on me!!!

I posted a couple of weeks ago that I had a job interview. I had a second interview at the same place today. They started off by telling me that the job I'd applied for had been given to someone else. :(



Then they told me that someone who works there is going on maternity leave at Christmas, so they need a trainee by then. Sooooooooooo, I will start as a paralegal in just over a week, and by the end of the year/beginning of next I will be a trainee solicitor. Result!! :beer:

Congratulations to you. What absolutely wonderful news!

Karma sent! (Sorry have to spread)!

btw - good morning everyone!

Re: The Bar Is Now Open
 
Thanks Willmore.

I was gobsmacked to say the least. I went in, expecting the possibility of being a trainee in twelve months, and came out knowing I'll be one in less than six!

Course this makes my decision on emigrating that little bit tenuous. :rolleyes: Can't have everything I guess.

The drinks are on me too ! - as we are not quite out of the woods yet, but can see the light at the end of the tunnel ...... mixing metaphores but never mind eh! :D :beer: :beer:

It's taking me forWEVVER to remember that lemonade means something different in Canada! :p ...... Sprite/7Up is just NOT the same!

I asked for lemonade and a portion of chips in a bar not so long ago ... the girl looked somewhat uneasy and said she didn't think they sold lemonade ... then it clicked and I said "sorry I mean Sprite and a portion of fries please". She didn't half look relieved ... it was quite comical! :p

Oh god yes. :D:D

We've been married for 37 years now.

I don't know what I'd do without my "better half" and I mean that in all sincerity.:)

Actually I question why she keeps me around. :p

Nope, I don't mow the lawn, neither do I shovel snow.

She won't let me, and the doctor agrees.

Some would say it's not a bad gig.

But in all honesty it aint worth it. :mad:
