Just Me!! The Butterfly effect

Having been short listed from well over a hundred applicants to the final three, you get to thinking you are in with some kind of a chance, dressed approprately, not too dressy, not too casual, take the measure of the DM and the very new manager of the new shop, and answer all questions openly and honestly, giving the examples they asked for proving that your experience probably far outweighs the very new managers. perhaps not a good idea, but honesty is after all one of the things that you prize.

Bearing in mind all the time that the other two on the short list are far younger, far prettier, and probably havent got half the experience that you have. not that it mattered in the end because one of them got it and I yet again am still looking for work. I know it was a good interview, I know the DM was more than impressed by my credentials. They said that it went to someone with more 'industry experience' they sell make up and jewellery as a side sale, so what they hired someone that has done a beuticians course or an ex boots employee? I would have thought that knowing how to sell the product to a public that are more than a little discerning where there money goes (in other words they are pretty tight in this town) being able to generate sales and get people to return would have been the best qualifier for this role, but apparently not.

Ah well another one bites the dust, and back to the usual round of searching and applying ad infinitum.

And how has your week been so far?

Have an absolutely fantastic Birthday Stephen, hope you have got lots of lovely things.

We shall start with the good, well hopefully good news.

After months of applications and wandering the streets searching I has an interview next week, for the assistant managers position in a new shop that is about to open in our town

The bad news is that I have hurt my back and am in excrutiating pain when I move, I have to make sure that this is sorted for next week, but at the moment a journey round the house is agony let alone to an interview

Thats what you get for trying to help people that dont have a clue *sigh*

Thats all the news I have for now.

What you lot been doing then?

Hope you have/have had a great day Tracey, and have many lovely things

Yes it is a Meme, and I know we have done dinner ones before but this one has a little tad of difference, bear with me and read on.

Copy and paste the following on to your blog.

You are creating a dinner party for eight.

Your party is six guests, yourself and your escort for the night.

Your six guests can be from the past, for instance Robert Burns the poet, or from the present, they can be famous for anything, you are allowed to have non famous people i.e. your best friend, but you have to have at least four people renowned for something even if it is only for playing or writing music.

List your dinner guests 1-6 and the reasons why you would invite them.

Last but by no means least.

Your escort/special guest for the night has to be a blogger from this blog site.

We want the blogname and the reason why they would be your escort for the night.

1) President J.F Kennedy, though he was a ladies man *ahem* he was also one of the best and most forward thinking of the presidents of the USA, a very intelligent man and I think conversation would be funny, yet also interesting.

2)Abraham Lincoln, for much the same reasons as Kennedy, a very forward thinking man for his time, and the conversation between him and JFK would be brilliant.

3)Bette Davies, in my opinion one of the most talented actresses to hit the big screen, also very beautiful, Bette Daves would be a most interesting dinner guest, a lady that said it how it was and didnt mince her words.

4) Sandra Bullock, I dont rate many of the actresses of the present, mainly because quite a lot of them cannot actually act and are buffered by special effects and mega bucks productions, but I like Sandra Bullock, I have seen her in comedies and serious roles, and I think she has that certain something that Bette Davies had but with not quite as much oomph, I think she ould be a witty, intelligent dinner guest that would keep us all entertained.

5) The Queen, as in Paddy, why, well I couldn't have a dinner party without my number one friend there for support and entertainment, I would love to see him converse with the two presidents and compare notes with the two actresses

6) The Queens consort, as in Brad, well someone has to try and keep Paddy inline I think he would be a brilliant dinner guest, I love his debating abilities and would love him at any dinner party where debating would be on the menu.

And my Escort/Special guest, this one was really hard, there are so many special bloggers out there that choosing one from amongst the others proved to be quite a task. In the end I settled for the one that fit all the criteria of the other guests, not that other bloggers didn't and to be honest I would probably do a weekly dinner so I could invite everyone

My Escort/Special guest would be Malakeas, http://rainbowsnbutterflies.blog.co.uk another lovely ldy with a lot to say and says it straight, I think she would find the other guests interesting and entertaining, and I would love the banter between her and paddy and Brad.

Thats it, now go do yours and let me know in comments that you have done it
