Sorry but all i hear in my head is a very non-PG meaning of Poink so all this is making me laugh. Sorry.

@Joe Maybe we crossed paths? I’m in the south of Spain right now.
You probably would have noticed me though as I probably would have screamed “OH MY GOD IT’S JOE”- while my parents Look At Me with concern
I read that ‘poink’ comment this morning and I had to restrain myself from typing something not very suitable for the forum. I’m proud of my self control!
IML: Nothing much is happening, my daily routine goes:
12:30am-10am: Sleep
10:10am: Drag myself out of bed, eat Rice Krispies™ and surf the net
11:00am: After my mam has yelled at me for an hour to go outside, I reluctantly go to the pool (bringing a book with me)
11:01am: Get assaulted with factor 10 sun-cream (Mam: Sure you’re not going to be outside for long, there’s no point putting a 20 on you!). I slide underneath a parasol and do combat moves to avoid getting stung by wasps.
1:00pm: ROAD TRIP! We go to some random tiny Spanish village about an hour away and hope they have a restaurant. We remark on the wheat-filled fields and the copious amount of goats
2:00pm: Reach some end-of-nowhere restaurant. None of my family speaks Spanish. 95% of the waiters don’t speak English- time for a mime session!
4:30pm: A happier ScruffJunior family leave the restaurant saying how cheap it is to eat out than Ireland “€30 for a three-course meal for 3 people, sure ya wouldn’t get that back home would you ASJ?!?!”.
5:30pm: We drive back to our little villa which is also in the middle-of-nowhere, literally we are staying next to a hen and goat farm and that is it! A mini siesta is had here
6:30pm: My mother calls me out to the pool yet again to bask in the evening sun, I say “I’ll be a minute”
7:30pm: I finally go outside, remark that there is a “nice breeze” and precede to clean the pool from all of the dead wasps, ants, little flies, leaves and other unidentifiable organic mess that has gathered over the course of the day. This takes about 15 minutes as idiot wasps keep on drowning. My dad watches a bootleg copy of all 7 seasons of ‘Only Fools and Horses’.
7:45pm: I jump into the pool…ahh bliss
8:30pm: I go back inside and commence spraying myself liberally with anti-mosquito sprays.
9:30pm: I’m ready for bed and go on the laptop where I shall remain until about 12:30am the following morning (I’m watching all of The Sopranos, it takes time!)
12:30am: Zzzzzzzzz
Lovely, I don’t know why I wrote all of that out but I just did….deal with it!

That is great! When will you hear from them?
@AppleScruffJunior FACTOR 10? Man, I have to put on factor 50! I was just folding the laundry that had just dried, outside and it took me about 15 minutes and I already got sunburnt! Tis the curse of having been born as a ginger! Have fun on your holiday and try to make the best of it.

Can take up to 6 weeks. I already have a starting date for one (conditional on having passed the checks and references satisfactory) that is the 1st September. How do you tell a company who offer you a job and have done all the checks, at a cost, that you are declining the job? I dont like the thought of that.

I will be. I would hate it more to leave them hanging, not knowing whats going on.
About to go put weedkiller down so have constructed a new sprayer (why are instructions always next to useless). In the instructions it contains the warning that gloves, face mask, goggles and suitable clothing must be worn when using – the picture on the sprayer however shows an old lady smiling wearing a short-sleeved t-shirt with no gloves, goggles or face mask using it.

I think I’m finally gettin’ over that stupid girl – of course I will relapse again eventually, but it’s dying slow and steady. Besides, I already fell in love hopelessly with a certain waitress, ofcourse she doesn’t know that . Oh and I manage to fall in love 10 times a day just riding the bus, but that’s definitely an improvement over self wallowing, right?
Now I’m pretty optimistic about life in general, but still scared crazy about my final results. If I don’t manage to enter the university I want, that is gonna suck majorly. Now I listen to ABBA to drive away those bad vibes

Just call or email them and tell them the truth. I actually had to do that with two of the organizations who offered me an internship. Now I think of it, I still haven’t done it with one of them
So what kind of job is it you’ll choose?
