What would you say?

I was asked it in an informal conversation this afternoon.we were saying about we have a musical staff, and he said about wanting arty people next and I suggested a couple and he said ' so what are you good at then'
and my answer was 'erm............'

I'd say I'm very good with projecting targets and meeting dealines ie I know what we are having for tea next Thursday and can, shop for it and cook it for dead on 6pm

Excellent Furball. A well executed post.

I am my MD so I just won't ask myself in case I can't think of an answer.

Hands up all who know what Expat is going to say.

Answering a question without actually answering it, leaving the other person happy but no further forward

Speccy you read my mind, I was about to say 'noshing' I would have been lying but hey, if it gets you the job, whats the harm and goes back under rock.

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 14/05/2007 22:19

I'm good at everything except housework...

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 14/05/2007 22:20

Oi, UCM, you free the Wednesday after half -term? (i.e. not next week, not the week after, but the week after that!)

UCM · 14/05/2007 22:24

Am just waiting patiently for you dear. What about a Saturday or is that a no-no.

UCM · 14/05/2007 22:24

Or a Sunday for that matter

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 14/05/2007 22:25

Oh, nothing. Just not worth the grief from h really! Saturday can be done by me if I give him notice in writing

What dates can you make?

UCM · 14/05/2007 22:25

I am not into this 'spend all your time at the weekends with DH&DC' cos I do it every weekend and it wouldn't be a problem for me to not do it for once. IYKWIM.

This one, not the next coz it's Airshow the following one is ok.

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 14/05/2007 22:27

No, me neither. H seems to think I am denying my marriage vows if I don't want to have 'family time' at the weekends. Mind you, I think he is feeling a little insecure at the moment. I'm sure he would be alright with it really.

UCM · 14/05/2007 22:27

Lol spec

UCM · 14/05/2007 22:28

No stress, perhaps lets wait until you call in a sickie or a wed then.

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 14/05/2007 22:28

What date would that be? 2nd June? That would be good with me. Have to check with JARM.

UCM · 14/05/2007 22:29

Don't worry, once i am back working shifts, my weekends with DH & my kids will be utterly sacred.

MrsDiorKeanuReeves · 14/05/2007 22:29

Speccy - didn't read UCM's speciality...guessing it was rude? No, it' her Hobbycraft I'm interested in!
