We're all behind you darling! What an awful twat of a person. Clearly Not Our Sort.

I missed all the fun it seems

I had a horrid day in work and went to bed early without even looking at MN. I also have the throat lurgy and a sore ear.

Today will be better.

minimammoth · 06/02/2011 17:56

Hope you feel better soon Jins. I hate ear ache. Will gargle a few operatic arias on your behalf.

Roll out the barrel,
We'll have a barrel of fun
Roll out the barrel,
We've got the blues on the run
Sing boom tararrel,
Ring out a song of good cheer
Now's the time to roll the barrel,
For the gang's all here.

Apparently today is "Sickie Monday" according to Radio 4 report.

Jins · 07/02/2011 12:03

Well I am certainly sick but am not pulling a sickie

However I am most definitely in midlife crisis and have made several calls today to find out about retraining as something completely different Shock

Thinking of nursing Hully.

However I am vair old and have not studied in the last 5 years so have to do some sort of course to get on a course iyswim. Thought about refresher maths/english but time is running out so I need to make sure that whatever I do is actually relevant.

CheerfulYank · 07/02/2011 14:46

If I'd thought I could get away with pulling a sickie I certainly would have. Ugh. I'm not-so-slowly becoming disenchanted with my job. I love the work itself, but the politics of the job are awful.

I am taking the 28th off because I'm spending the previous night at a friend's to watch the Oscars to attend to some pressing personal matters, though, so I didn't think I should press my luck today. :)

Oooh, do let us know what you decide, Jins! I've thought about nursing too. It seems to be one of the few fields that almost guarantees you a job. (At least here it's that way)

JamieLeeCurtis · 07/02/2011 18:46

Cheerful - I really want to do that - have never watched the Oscars. But I wish John Stewart was the presenter ......

Hello all

I am currently retraining as a supermodel

apparently it is very lucrative and you save a lot on food.

Jins - what do you do at the mo? - don't say if prefer not, of course. Nursing does sound interesting.

I'd rather not say because I'd out myself. It's very boring and I've spent half my life in the wrong job :(

Oh Jins. Right, deffo go for a change then. Do it tomorrow. Report back and tell us you've started.

OP posts:
CheerfulYank · 08/02/2011 01:30

Yes, do it now! Good luck! :)

I feel bad because it appears that what I want to do it stay home painting rooms and baking muffins and raising DS. I don't think there's anything wrong with that, certainly, it's just not the direction I thought I'd go in. I feel like a traitor to the cause or something. But there you have it.

Oooh, hully, if you hit the big time I'll be your assistant, shall I? I'm not sure exactly what that entails, but I think I'll light your ciggies for you and hold your hair back while you vomit up the plain lettuce you've "splurged" on that day. Also I will practice saying, "My client has no comment." Think I'd be rather good, actually...

JamieLeeCurtis · 08/02/2011 07:31

Cheerful - I believe getting phones thrown at your head is also part of the deal ...

minimammoth · 08/02/2011 09:03

Cherrful/Hully it sounds like you'd be a great team. I think I'll re-train as a premier league footballer. Getting the testosterone shots should be easy and I'll book myself in for a brainectomy. I can then take Hully out Grin

Cheerful -can you do part time?

OP posts:
CheerfulYank · 08/02/2011 16:03

I can, but I will need a decent health and dental plan in the event you knock out my teeth with your telephone. And a private jet to ferry me to the UK. Actually, those things are all I'd need...you could keep my salary.

CheerfulYank · 08/02/2011 16:05

Mini if you were a footballer, you and hully could arrange to have the inevitable sex scandal with each other. Huzzah! The publicity would be marvelous.

CheerfulYank · 08/02/2011 18:13

Wink I thought so. Sadly enough, I'm already at part-time. I think it's the weather. It was negative 37 here today (I think it's the same in Celsius at that point Confused ) and the thought of waking DS and getting us both ready and leaving the warm cozy house to be shouted at for four hours (I work with -ahem- behaviorally challenged children) was loathesome in the extreme.

Sigh...

minimammoth · 08/02/2011 20:33

Am doing press ups and 'keepy uppys' as we speak.

Jins · 09/02/2011 08:51

I'm moving things along.

Admissions person from one of the courses has recommended a suitable introduction course that will help me meet the entrance requirements.

So I've applied Shock
