So, I had my first driving lesson with a real instructor yesterday afternoon. It was a nice, cloudless afternoon spent doing some laps in the Ballymore carpark learning how to use gears etc in a sporty little Lancer. I only bunny hopped a couple of times and even managed to balance the car on a hilll using the clutch and accelerator. Something I ( Read more... )

Well this job hunting business is a great big pile of poo. I decided this morning that I would go into my trusty Sarina Russo Job Access office and ask for some access to the said jobs they offer to help you get but, because I already have a job (read: serving rude cocks, using hot ovens and other back-breaking activities) and work more than 15 ( Read more... )

I also have my interview for my rating to go, which I'm a little anxious about, but being done with this prac and getting a pretty good report for it is just ace ( Read more... )

I've tried this before and it really works. I had my usual dinner time out-sourced telemarketer phone call this evening as I was making dinner. Typically, the line was real fuzzy and I couldn't hear anything. Then I could hear a lady asking for a Mrs. Hayyyee, so I just kept repeating "hello" for a little longer and then hung up, like I was getting ( Read more... )

And that is something to be happy about!!
