Ah. Phew... No, but you see, it's my choice, so I really have to bear with it and take it with a smile...!
Not at all Anne, just anyone that's been in that situation knows how it will test every last nerve you have. =)
monkey, I'm not sure. I'm usually ready to take on a challenge, but this... I'm not sure.
livewire, I do hope nobody got the feeling I was intolerant of others.
jenn see, sorry, I hadn't seen you in there. Thanks. Experienced free time during the week today; it is nice, isn't it?!
"So I waited with my fellow parasites of society." That is such an accurate description of the feeling you get, too. At least you had the good fortune to be there early and not have to wait. Interesting when you look around how many different types of people you see, yet you all have something very important in common in this lackluster economy. (Wait, that almost sounded like 'tolerance of others' coming from my mouth! Sheesh! Can't have that!) Best of luck to you.
next time you have to stand in that line get the clerk to sign a body part when you get to the end of it. those people deserve more respect than they get and ought to feel like a superstar every now and again. plus your application might get processed faster.
Nightfly - consummate liar. But thank you and do come again.
Stuart - let's have a brainstorm in a week, OK?
Jay - actually, it's my choice, and I'll probably end up on the news at some point. Especially considering my splitting headache combined with the fact that my neighbour is moving her furniture. Again.
Anne,
Great blog! You have a wonderfully honest take on life. Either that or you are a consumate liar, in which case I like you even better. :)
I'll be back.
welcome to the ranks of the blessed with free time.
I just got told off and before I could become indignant, it got taken back!
Don't worry, I know what Irony is. It's like 'goldy' and 'silvery' only, it's made of iron.
unite!
...and do what?
If it's exciting, give me a week to finish this short-term thing, and I'm in.
Sorry to hear of your bad news, but try to think that the obstacles in life only build character. And if all else fails, you can at least entertain the others in line by creating the drama yourself! You might star in the 6 oclock news!
Carl, now there's an idea...!
Hoss, late losers, to be precise. Because otherwise, I'm just one of them. And god forbid.
The queue as translated by Anne: "Losers."
I'm sure the chance of drama increases 100 fold as the day wears on and the lines get longer and slower. I wouldn't suggest going later in the day just so you can get blog material...better to just stab yourself in the eye with a pencil and be done with it.
Best wishes in your future career!
Adamant, be careful what you ask for.
Oiseau, thank you. Beaucoup. And Adamant was really just echoing my lack of blog material complaint. Right?
Andy, not in France, it's really simple.
Being in the same boat over here in the UK.... You need a degree to fill out the claims for that can easily take over 1hr to fill out...
oops - forgot the 'ironic' ;) next to my comment to adamant. I'm not grumpy. Really.
Oh, be quiet mr adamant - nobody wants drama. Especially at the 'acidic' office.
I haven't had time to comment before on the last week of your newly found job free status.
Good things happen - and it will for you. You don't seem like someone who sits on their backside waiting for things to happen for them. You made the first change. I have faith :)
I'm sure that sooner or later you'll get some 'drama'. If not, make your own!
