Be More Gerbil.
My new motto for life.

Chersfrozenface · 18/02/2025 20:35

Sorry, that was the nearest to the correct spelling I could get AI to produce.

Even trying American spelling, the best I got was 'Gerbilzing'. Which looks as though it should be a German noun.

Der Gerbilzing? Die Gerbilzing? Das Gerbilzing?

FuzzyPuffling · 18/02/2025 20:35

Do i mean motto? It looks awfully weird now I've written it.

Are you feeling more human yet? And less like death warmed up?

I'm feeling really sprightly, until I have food and then feel swoony.

It is going to be 17 degrees tomorrow so hoping to do painting pottery glazes on in some sun which I am looking forward to.

Die Rennmäusecheerleaderen

No, German does not have its own word for 'cheerleader'. Though there are, apparently, one hundred cheerleading teams (Cheerleader-Teams) belonging to 2 cheerleading associations (Cheerleading-Verbände) in the country.

Thank you!

Maybe they started out that way!

The owl mould is supposed to be for a candle, but the wax is poured in from the feet. There is no hole at the top for a wick, and it's a little large to be a wax melt. Big design fault.

I made one as a model to sit on my desk but the sunshine melted it and bleached it's colour. I have attempted a wick in it this time, but I think it won't poke out the top because all the wax would pour out of the mould if I did that.

The wax melt moulds are silicone baking sheets. They should be flowers when they are turned out.

Here is where I minimise the shortlisting. The interim company has never approached me in the three months since I registered. They didn't even acknowledge my registration. I imagine they only approached me so they have three candidates to send the organisation and I won't be top of the list. But they have only put forward three candidates so I get a one in three chance if I get an interview, which I won't get and if I do get an interview, they will choose someone else to do the job and if I get the job they won't extend the contract past six months and I won't get the permanent role and then I won't get another interim job or a permanent job.

Something about your breakdown of how the interview process will pan out reminds me of that mathematical puzzle regarding three doors , two goats and a Cadillac.
You are talented, articulate and you have the skillset. Go for it .

I'm genuinely surprised at the support you're all giving me and your confidence in me. Thank you ❤️

I messaged my friend and she's very supportive and says it sounds like a great role and she will be available for a mock interview. Which will be a proper interview with hard questions.

Hear hear! and this being the Bluestocking, I expect you WILL see your Gerbil cheerleading team soon... I hear the clunk clunk whirr of AI at work somewhere😄

I think the gerbil cheerleaders are amazing!

Lots of good wishes heading your way @MyrtleLion ! But I do suggest skirts of a more decorous length for your interview or it won't only be your CV they're looking at (depending on what CV might stand for of course).

MN is showing multi-million property ads again, so I'm checking out some castles in case I win the EuroMills tonight. This one looks perfect for when we fancy having a few friends round for a meal.

Good grief, it's GIGANTIC! You need little train to run up and down on that table pulling pots full of food.

Arsey Idiot had 14 goes at showing me an image, and got every single one of them wrong. "Oooh I can understand your frustration," it wittered, "I am sorry there was a glitch," but there wasn't a glitch. It just wouldn't listen to what I'd asked for.

Gerbils could probably get away with it.

But it is the AI's fault that I am depicted with antlers because I haven't actually got any.
