In times of stress I tend to comfort-eat, which in my case involves a return to the stodgy fare I sort of grew up on (if in fact I ever did grow up). Here's an example - a chip butty. Yum
Her's a more healthy meal - French onion soup, duck a l'orange with rice and asparagus. This is the stuff I should be eating and, not this:
Finally a self-portrait:
Well I was bored.
In other news, Wifey's told me what I'm getting for my Birthday and I'm SO excited. Oh shut up.
Be good.
now i'm seriously worried.
ReplyDeletelike the comb over!
Waffling on about food ... you're becoming a real pundit ... tee hee.
ReplyDeleteI love the self portrait ... your grub on board looks good enough to eat ... LOL. Please share ...
Tis not long now - hang in there!
Guess what ... I have an interview on Wed morning for a contract position - 5 months event manager ... please hold thumbs for me...
Do you know of anyone who works in Supply Chain Management (Buyer / planner) have found a fantastic masters at Open Uni and its affordable. Considering this as a future career path. May as well study if I dont have work.
Chat soon and may the force be with you ...
hugs and kisses
Oooh, what should I get you?
ReplyDeleteI want comforting chip butties! I'm sick in bed with the dreaded lurgee. It's rubbish.

Yes it is rubbish when you're sick. What bbrand of lurgee do you have?
ReplyDeleteHave a chip butty on me. Plenty of real butter on it, that's the ticket. You never answered my question - are you actually doing you masters now? Yes yes i should know.
Odette, good luck in your interview, and if they don't take you on it's their loss so yah boo.
ReplyDeleteThe self portrait reminds me of when you came to work on your bicycle.
ReplyDeleteNeedless to say, I preferred it when I saw your Ka.
Nah, din get on the course :-(
ReplyDeleteAh well, eh? Back to the drawing board!

Whaaaaaaaaaat? They didn't let my daughter on their course? Right, give me the manager's name.
ReplyDeleteYet again the shit has hit the fan!
ReplyDeleteHad a sobbing call to Lyn at 1am this morning. This cant be it, 5 years of my life down the drain.
Take care and hope you are doing fine ... how are the bikes in the gym ... did yer man fix em?
No Odette you're right, this can't be it. Hope it improves, I feel so sorry for you. Here's a cyber-hug.
ReplyDeleteThanks Russell
ReplyDeleteHi,
ReplyDeleteHad a good interview this morning but everything is so precarious, Im sick to my stomach of it.
Ow's tings? Its so cold here the balls fell off the brass monkey, an not inclined to venture out even if its sunny. T is on break so they went to the seaside ...
I hate not working ... no-one to talk to and my nerves are shot so I feel like Im really in attention-seeking mode!
I had my fathers favourite comfort food last night (omelette pomme de terre et salad vert) My heart broke ... I wish he was still here he could fix it for me.
Sent you a joke on Facebook
ReplyDeleteYes I read the joke. It didn't make me laugh, but I squirmed a bit.
ReplyDeleteOi, so there's a good chance you'll get the job? That's good news as long as we all believe you will be able to stay put.
Everybody reading, please send positive thoughts to the Limerick area. Keep Odette Irish is what we say.
You are a pet, thank you ... hugz
ReplyDeleteHey Odette, I think it's great you're allready going for interviews. You're obviously in demand! Why would you have to leave Limerick?? I'm sure Limerick is full of unemployed people just now. Unemployed is not unemployable. It's a rest you're having is all - enjoy the break. If you got a job tomorow - you'd be regretting not having more of a break!!
ReplyDeleteDear Alexanderbusby
ReplyDeleteThank you for the kind words and you are right ... its a global situation and I like your tinking - umemployed is not unemployable. I am in a panic because work permits and residency issues are at stake here and a small problem with pending deportation but you are right ... its not me ... its everyone ... Im just taking it too personally.
Im going to Dublin to good friends for the weekend to get a break from it all. It will be a nice trip and I should feel better on my return.
Take care and have fun :-)
