Hooray For Me and An Update.

Hey everyone! I just thought I'd let you know that I have been asked to return to the cafe/restaurant/bakery/delicatessen/alcohol supplier/grocery store (Phew!) tonight for a second trial.
It will be very busy so I guess they want to see if I can handle the PRESSURE.
Once more I am a bit nervous, fear of failure and all that stuff, but I am sure I will be alright because-
I have confidence in sunshine.
I have confidence in rain.
I have confidence that spring will come again.
Besides which you see I have confidence in MEeeeeeeeee
(O.k. O.k. I have this song out of my system now and will not subject you to it again...Maybe)

I Have Confidence In Sunshine...I'm Being Sarcastic Again.

Does anyone actually like my drawings?..sigh






When I was younger my sarcasm was funny and accepted, mostly because I come from a line of sarcastic and cheeky people,BUT... as I have grown older It has sometimes been a bit of a problem...I'm sorry to say that people just do not get 'it' and I am left to explain myself time and time again....or not....

Yesterday my friend Ben called. He had just scored himself a new job,close to home,and said that I should come on down as they were looking for more people to work the floor and someone to work in the kitchen as a kitchen hand... SO... I went down there at the requested time and the Owner ,a rather Impressive Italian gentleman, asked me one question-
" 'Ave you ever worked in a kitchen before? "
It was then that the aforementioned affliction of sarcasm raised it's silly head and I said-
" Why yes! I have been in the kitchen since I was 18 "
WELL....It was then in that awful moment that I realised what I had done.The rather impressive Italian gentleman called his beautiful wife over and he announced to her that I had YEARS of experience working in kitchens (literally I do but not the type that he , and now his wife, thinks)
They were all excited, shifts were being discussed at warp speed and although I did try to explain that I would prefer to work the tables, it was no good and I was asked to return TODAY to be shown the kitchen by a little guy with a 'Kill me now' expression.
It all just happened soooooo fast. I am uncomfortable at the best of times with,let just say untruths, but this was OUT OF CONTROL and I don't like out of control.
I will let you know how it all goes. Part of me says that it can not be rocket science and I will be fine...The other part is imagining myself being coaxed out of a small cupboard by an emergency services guy with a soothing voice.

Later, at home,I told Alan and he said- "I have confidence in you"
It was then sarcasm returned and I launched into a few lines of that song from The Sound Of Music-
Come on all together now you know the words

I have confidence in sunshine
I have confidence in rain
I have confidence that Spring will come again
Besides which you see I have confidence in MEEEEEEEEEEE

No really, I did.

The Job Interview

i woke up WAY to early,like 6AM, and my interview is not till 2PM then i discovered i had my "ladies things" as alan puts it, so this day was NOT starting out as planned...

THE PLAN-Wake up at 8am refreshed and looking fantastic.
Choose clothing.Shower,dress.Train to interview.Interview.GET JOB

REALITY -Woke up at 6am.LADIES THINGS...My watch stopped.I have a zit(right before the big dance) and i am overly concerned with my eyebrows( i think i look like burt from burt and ernie)

i thought of ways i could make it ALL better i.e-all go away. I thought of calling the nice ,understanding and compassionate woman that was to do my interview and saying
"Hi could i change my interview to,like,next week cause as Alan says i have my ladies things?"
BLAHHHHH-stay tuned...
post script-i got the job pending all the relevent police checks(for those who know me...DONT LAUGH) gulp...i will let you know how it all goes
