My job, at times, can propel me into strange circumstances. I have just learnt that it is very likely i will be "spending the night" in the London home of a v famous celeb couple... I am not cool, have nothing to wear, and easily impressed... WTF do I do now?

I was going to ask if it was something considered alternative or kooky, or if it's something mainstream but select.

I can't tell you what job is as A. It's linked to security and B. It would out me in RL to too many people

It's not remotely new age, occulty GrinGrin or hippified(?) in any way it's science based.

How would it out you to say 'I'm a XXX' on an anonymous forum, if it's so top secret that nobody knows what you do? Confused

i just would like to add that I am not being deliberately evasive here, I know it looks like that, you ladies are very persistent though!

Sounds like a load of bollocks to me. It's so top secret you can't tell us what the job is, even though you've more or less told us who the sleb is? Hmm

Oh. I think the kooky/new age thing came about because you said you have to have an aptitude and only a few people are allowed to do it - most things like forensic security/IT/legal stuff etc you can train for if you're bright. In fact most things you can train for if you're super bright.

So intriguing.

ColdSancerre · 09/11/2011 20:44

I believe you 25kilo. Because I don't want a witch angry with me and hedging me via the Internet. It's one of my biggest fears.

ColdSancerre · 09/11/2011 20:44

Hedging = hexing effing autocorrect.

Everyone stop bugging 25. God you are all so sad. (It's ok 25, you can PM me and tell me everything in confidence. I have always wanted a psychic ninja best friend who may or may not have His address)

PattySimcox · 09/11/2011 20:45

25k you mentioned in another thread that you did career mentoring.

Would you be kind enough to pop over to my other thread and give me some careers advicee please - in chat so it will disappear, and feel free to name change Grin

wildstrawberryplace · 09/11/2011 20:46

Only a few people are allowed to do it. Allowed by who?

PattySimcox · 09/11/2011 20:47

OMG can't believe that I didn't even think about the fact that she knows where he lives and could stalk him should she wish

ColdSancerre · 09/11/2011 20:48

By the head witches wildstrawberry

wildstrawberryplace · 09/11/2011 20:48

I know. It's basically pyramid selling isn't it? Wink

TeamDamon · 09/11/2011 20:50

I agree with wildstrawberryplace - there isn't much that you can't train to do, TBH - can't really think of jobs in security that you have to have all this woo-woo natural aptitude for Confused Hmm

wildstrawberryplace · 09/11/2011 20:50

Oh and is it scientific in the same way that say, homeopathy is?

TeamDamon · 09/11/2011 20:51

Allowed by Granny Weatherwax, wildstrawberry Grin

wildstrawberryplace · 09/11/2011 20:52

Or that book about cats who know when their owners have left work?

Hi hi, I said that it came as part of the job, it does because as I said I had to train and study and career change and fit it all around family so when in RL people find all this out they often ask my advice on changing their job/goals/priorities etc. Also people can't believe I have 3 dc and do this as well etc because of the travel etc. People are also Envy but it can be dangerous and weird and Sad sometimes. Sleb btw didn't give a toss let us take pics etc!
