Hello CLP and Everyone.

How I agree Chris. Too much thinking about will it offend some? will they like me? etc. can stop us from being ourselves. As they say "you can please some of the people some of the time but not all of the people all of the time.

PS My stepfather was a vicar, such a kind, warm gentleman.

Hope everyone's well.

MK

Stopped and listened to Father Brian this morning Christoph - good one - and couldn't believe when you said Lynn posed for a photo when she was doing her traffic report - didn't miss a beat - smarty pants!

Beez xx

OOh suns out, and so am I!

Happy Monday to you all.

Marjie, are you a tad excited??

MTF.xx

LOL MTF

Would have looked silly if I hadn't made it!

MK

MTF, from previous blog, I've had the pineapple ones from Jamie's supermarket

Now I shall read today's!

Morning CLP and fellow bloggers

I agree Chris - sometimes we spend too much time wondering and not enough time doing - me I am doing this wondering if anyone from work is watching knowing that i am not doing what I am supposed to be doing, I wonder if they will say anything......

not here - really!
debs

I have done just that Marjie on a few occasions.

In fact being so slow at typing and with this 20 second delay thing that they introduced, I have ended up way down the list instead of being number 1. Still, its all a bit of fun isn't it.x

Thanks Tiggs, will take coolbox as nearest sainsbugs is 22 miles away.

Blue sky here folks.

MTF.xx

Hello Debs, not here, or not all there either.LOL.

Your secrets safe with us.

Morning Chris

I'm getting a bit paranoind about "being myself" - I am myself at every job interview and keep getting rejected! Snot fair is it? But then if I am not myself, and I get the job, I'd have to carry on not being myself for as long as I remain in the employ of the person who employed me whilst not being myself. Everyone tells me to be myself but I'm not sure being myself is doing myself any favours at the mo.

Now my head hurts.

Deevs

Deev

I am never myself at a job interview - I am the person the employee wants me to be and then when in the role I slowly bring my personality to the workplace.

After all they probably don't need to know I'm a motorbike, music loving, baggy pusscat all at once!

Deevs.

You must carry on being yourself until you find the people who are sensible enough to appreciate you.

Don't become what you're not just to satisfy them.

Beginning to sound like 'dear marje' now!

MK

Sorry Baggy, but I tend to agree with Marjie. If they don't want the true 'me', then they are not good enough for me to work for.

Thanks Marjie ..... giz a job!

Deevs
x

Deev - fair enough - I was just letting you know how I got jobs, shallow maybe but it works!

I'm on the fence a bit here (damned uncomfortable it is too!). I think you should be yourself, but sometimes you can be too much yourself - maybe striking a balance between what the employer is looking for, and who you are, is the key? But then also, I'm a firm believer in chemistry - if you have an interview with the person you'd be working for/with, is that chemistry there?

In all other circumstances, I think be yourself. If people don't like that, then you're better off without them.

Missed Father D'Arcy unfortunately CLP, but it must be wonderful to have such strong conviction and faith in something...

AF (who is a happy bunny today, despite it being Monday!) xx

Baggy - I have to know that when I go for a job, I like them as much as they like me. So far, I've had nothing other than positive feedback post-interview but there is always a "but" at the end - usually a stronger candidate with experience within the industry in which the vacancy sits, or those pesky internal candidates!

I'd hate to land a job and then find because of my not being true at interview stage I was out of my depth and in over my head.

Working on an application now, which quite frankly, I'm amazed to have got past first base. Maybe I should stop under-estimating myself!

Deevs
x

As I see it most people adopt a number of personae for the various areas of their lives.

This does not mean compromising your 'real self' but subtly changing to reflect the situation.

If you are unwilling to adopt the persona required by an employer for a specific type of job you must either accept that it will be very difficult to find employment or start looking for a job where the required persona matches your 'real self'.

As a recruiter - my main advice to people is to be a "reserved" version of yourself - so let who you are shine through in a positive friendly way, but not in a mad over the top way! AND always be well polished - first impressions DO count - despite what anyone says! Shiney shoes, teeth and hair!

Deevs - dont take this the wrong way either - I'm not in anyway suggesting you are mad and over the top at an interview - its just my general advice when I get asked! AND you are ALWAYS well polished - that we defo know! :-)

debs
x

I think one of the main obstacles I'm up against with my current situ is my lack of experience from a manufacturing background. Almost all of the interviews I have had have been for large, corporate manufacturing companies whereas my background for the last 4 years has been small family-owned firms (when I was temping there were more people in one drinks round than on the entire payroll at my Coooooolchester job!), and prior to that, 4 years in Local Government, which is a law unto itself!

Someone will snap me up soon, I am sure!

Yes Bingo.

The ones at #one are,indeed, the The One Show song.

Now it's in my head for the rest of the day, damn it!

MK

bingo - careful about who you call the nutters on the underground - I was a nutter lsaat friday as I had a migraine and had to get home - so curled up on the seat on the tube and rocked gently to myself trying not to be sick!

PS - also got nearly hit by a woman in a car on the way to the hospital yesterday (said I wasnt well) but hubby didnt beep in case she was also on way to hospital and she was!

Hi Bingo, Would love to take the credit for giving you advice on your cold but Gail (dozymac) and Gailybevs are 2 different people, me being Dozymac, aka Gail, but anyway, it was nice to meet you too.

Gail

Oh dear Bingo - tis all going 'ay-wire for you buddy!

Cheryl, remember back in 2008 when I thought that I would never get a job? It's all part of life's rich tapestry. For as long as you don't give up hope you are closer to getting that job each day.

I love my job. Just hope that when/if my circumstances change it won't impact too much on my hours.

Debbie

ps: LM this morning was asking me where the hairy lizards come from......took the whole journey to school to discover that he was referring to Bearded Dragons! Bless him.

Haven't really got anything to say today so hello & goodbye from me!

AYE???? A????????

Afternoon campers,

CLP, what a nice blog you wrote today all about Fr D'Arcy... I have to confess to missing this morning's PFT as I was on the way to the docs am sure it was great.

Interesting discussion earlier about being yourself at interviews... I would agree that you have to be a measured version of yourself, obviously if you're going to be working closely with one particular person, eg in a PA capacity, they need to know if the chemistry will be right (and so do you!). Thinking about it I definitely have a work persona and my non work persona though.

Hope everyone had a great weekend...

Rx

Afternoon All,

Bingo - you have been busy...
A chap I spoke to at an agency I went to see on Friday said for the kind of jobs I am looking for it's 10% experience and qualifications and 90% personality and fit. I don't think that being anything other than yourself is really sustainable in anything you (unless you are an actor, of course...)

Nic

Afternoon each - made it back from the Ooter Hebrides in one piece, although it was touch and go at times.

Chris, a timely message indeed - have just been asked to give a presentation for a National charity. I hate doing things like that, get scared and tongue-tied. The only time it worked was when I really wanted to get some important information across and practised for days - crossing out, adding things, reading it aloud etc. And it worked - it wasn't about me, it was about informing professionals of the dearth of services for people with Dementia and their Carers.

I'm going to say yes, and I'll remember your comments when I'm preparing for it.

xxxx

Good afternoon bloggers and blogettes plus lurkers.

I know long time no blog. I blame the laptop and reading on the mobile takes some doing when you lot all blog loads.

Nice to see some familiar names are still around. I'd FB but it doesn't seem to want to play this afternoon.

Chris I miss your morning chat as I don't get into the car until 10am at present. But I do read the blog entry whenever I can but no comment from mobile.

Pip pip must dash there's volleyball training to prep for.

Phoenix who lives in dorset but comes from over the border in somerset (allegedly!)

Hi All
This is my first post but I had to add to the comments about Fr Brian. He used to do a piece similar to PFT on a late night radio show in Ireland way back in the 80's. On one occasion he had to deal with a caller that broke down on air and he handled the situation with great compassion and respect - since then I have been a fan.

The man is truly one in a million.

PP

Nic Man - Sounds like a job az a politician!!!!!!!
No wonder the UK iz in a BIG mess if it's 10% experience/ qualifications!!!!!!

Good luck with the job 'unting!!!!!!!!!!

ALL - Just 'eard for the second teem terdee on R2 the brand new tune by the bloke who makes music in 'is bedroom at neet az 'e iz an insomniac... beter known az 'Owl City!!!!!!'

Love 'is new tune 'Umbrella Beach!!!!!!' Az a love Fire Flies!!!!!

New tune iz MEGA!!!!!!

'ope R2 will be playing it alot.... a tell it's a vloume wreet up jobbie.... be great ter dance to in a club!!!!!
Sort of 90's euro mega mix meets abitta 2 Unlimited.... sort of bitta Pet Shop Boys!!!!!!!!

Show's what yer can do playing with synthesizers in yer bedroom!!!!!!

BRILLO!!!!!!

Bye!

PS Nic, just thought can't yer go self employed in accountacy??????
Would ave thought yer would be in demand!!!!!!

PS Thinking of yer too Chezza..... keep looking & yer will find the right job soon!!!!!!!

Phew - can I go home yet? What a rubbish day!

Welcome back Annie - pleased you are in one piece.
Good to see you on here Phoenix - very long time no blog
PP welcome - good to have new folk on here.

AS - I have just remembered two pairs of my shoes arrived - was in such a rush put them by the side of the sofa and haven't even tried them on. Will see if they fit and put a pic on fb later. ( managed to take one of the tarpaulin full of files that Biggs cocked his leg on !)!!

Pasta - I need pasta - or would it be the wine whilst I am cooking the pasta .

Laters smiley peeps.

Beez xx

Beez, have a teeny pressie from an island I can't remember the name of for you. It was a 'saw this and thought of you' moment.

I'm cooking salmon and may have a small glass of chards with it.

xxxx

Think it might be because you mentioned a name, Bingo.

I would say it now, it's 100% true, but I would probably be modded too.

MK

Oh, there you are Bingo, back from the moddies.

Hope you had a good time in Glasgow. I did phone, but rather later than I'd intended because of no signal on the islands. xxxx

Hi folks, and wb Somerset/Dorset Phoenix!

And welcome to Paddy too, please stick around, we don't bite (often);)

Bingo, missed your long post, and got the rest, keep going lad!

On the subject of interviews, I do the dress subtlely, be a bit more less me, and then let the real me come out gradually....it's always worked, but then I'm in a technical job and most interviews I've been for have asked me loads of techy qu's and are not that bothered about the person! Although that was 10 years ago!!

Actually had one guy say he didn't care about my qualifications, he'd ask me techy stuff to make sure I hadn't cheated in the exams!! He hadn't even taken them himself!! I was offered the job, but turned it down - idiot (to put it politely)!

Anyhow, better get some food together... having that 6 mushroom extravaganza again tonight!!

JG x

JG that made me giggle!!
Love mushrooms - what are you doing?

Bingo - been a busy boy today!! Bet the modders have gone down the pub for a well earned drink - or have they stopped modding you?

Right - post posted, paper bill paid, (ouch), phone call called:))x - bol sauce on the bubble, aparagus washed and ready to go, shoes tried on - fit and photo taken - will put on fb later, glass of red poured. Cheers smiley folk.

You got me a prezzie? - Thank you Annie- wouldn't by any chance have "humbug" written on it would it?

Beez xx

You'll have to wait and see Beez. Forgot to get envelope today.
x

Just put photies on FB of the Ooter Hebrides. Kirstie was flying her kite on a beach in Barra and got a tick in her leg. She phoned me when home to say that it had dropped off - probably in my car before I dropped her off.

Lovely.

xx

Citing Annie.
Just been checking your pics- they are lovely.

Beez xx

Beez, I was going to microwave the 6 mushroom stroganoff thingy, but it took a sour turn when Mum rang, although still safely in the fridge!

So as an attempt at looking like I'm cooking tea, I have a tomato pasta bake and cheese to go in, but have just been caught out :(

Oh well!!

JG x (who likes a late "tea"!

Hi all

Three rings -

Arrived back about 30 minutes ago - post opened (bills, bills and election things.......), decent cup of tea made (can never get one anywhere else (not even China......).

Off to catch up on today's blog and look at t'other side.

If I am still awake, I'll be back later.

mtd ffb xxx

MTD woo hoo - welcome back!!! Might see you later

Intrigued JG 6 mushroom stroganoff ? Supermarko ready thing?

Right off to eat - back later.

Beez xx

Well done MTD, go and sleep now!!

ELH Beez, although only seen it at the local one so far...ready to be zapped with some spinach and stuff, but lovely!!

Birds have been trying to land at Mr JG's food post on our sad looking apple tree, but Finlay scaed them off, got him in and then the magpies turned up :(

JG x

Evening all,

MTD welcome home . hope the jet lag dosent play havoc for too long.

Well its been a rubbish day. Started off with loads of bird muck on my car this am. Thought it was supposed to be "muck for luck" , but it wasnt , and roughly translates into crap for a crap day !

Anyway, i have kept smiling,but only just !

Right , off for a run, what can go wrong with that , dont wish me"" break a leg "!

Love MC xxxxx

Forgot to say to Mr JG "thanks for getting the ash off my car", he was home for 20 mins, and just managed a shower before he was out again :(

Seems like I'll see him tomorrow night now!

MC, you be careful now!

JG x

Hi JG, thanks !

Well, i have had the most lovely end to the most unlovely day. Out on my little jogette , i trotted down the side of the ship canal. The sun was setting , the moon was rising and the birdsong was magnificent. The tweeting was just so uplifting, and the town noise seemed to fade away . These last few weeks, the birdsong has seemed better than ever. Aint nature great , but not at 4am ;-)



MC xx

That's true MC, I had an awful night's sleep, and just as I was dropping pff, got the dawn chorus!

If you're running again, I'l pop round in the car with Finlay! ;)

No, only joking, he's not himself at the moment, and not up to even walking far :( Grumpy, rather then ill though, so nothing to worry about, as he's back to eating properly again!

JG x

Hi JG.

ohh give Finlay a cuddle for me, dont like to hear of animals not up to par.
The birds were all trying to out do each other tonight. I have to make sure the bedroom window is shut at the moment as i have a habit of waking at 4ish, and once i tune in i cant get back to sleep.

Right, am off to bed,

Take care , we must meet up again soon.


MC xxx

Hello

MTD. Woo hoo!! Bet your own front door (and kettle!) never looked so good. Look forward to hearing your travellers tales when you've recovered

JG & MC, know what you mean about the birdies, noisy little things, esp when you realise that all they are tweeting about is making new baby birdies!

Hope everyone else is ok?

Seza xx

Isn't it a lovely moon tonight.

Up at work, all the lab pups have gone except for the little black one that is staying.

She was sat under my bosses feet today all curled up, I swear she was sobbing :(

All the other pups have gone on to new homes, her life is pretty much the same as she has ever known except...

All her brothers and sisters/ play mates have gone, I am filling up.

She was sighing very loudly, it was very upsetting!

She has still got her Mum and Dad but....

MTF.xx

I guess we all need a friend.

She will have probably got over it in a day or two, wheras I will still be fretting for her, losing her little playmates!

MTF.xx

Aww MTF, I was just heading off and saw that!

She'll be fine, she's where she's always known with her Mum and Dad! You should feel for the folk trying to settle in a new puppy in a new house....and I'm sure they'll be fine as well, given time ;)

JG x

Seza xx

Thanks JG.xx

It was just so pitiful seeing her there, they only went yesterday!

I am a wreck, I cant bear to see unhappy animals!

The new pups will be getting lots of attention, and the new owners, lots of pooper scooping!

There are now 12 new kittens up there, that'll be the next laod of pics.

MTF.xx

MTF, the moon is spectacular - floating in the clouds up here in Fife. xx

You are all right and thanks.xx

Anne,I still love the fact that you and I can step outside our doors, opposite ends of the country and see the same image in the sky.

It sort of makes us feel closer somehow.

MTF.xx

Aw bless MTF. xx

Has work settled down for you now Billie, I hope so.

MTF.xx

In fact I swear I can smell cigarette smoke, would that be you having a quick puff Annie?

MTF.xx

MTF - No tis me!!!

Beez xx

MTF, you've done it again, I've often thought that!

Anyway, Grumpy Finlay needs to go out, actually he's missing Mr JG tonight, but he's OK, and will be allowed a snuggle on the bed tonight, until and when Mr JG gets home!

Night all

xx

LOL all of you.

Night JG.

Cheer up Finlay.

MTF.xx

MTF - when I went to pick Biggs up - all his sisters came bounding over to me and he stayed in the rather large basket gnawing on a massive marrow bone.
Not a peep on my lap in car on way back except when car computer went beep - one quick jump and wimper then snuggled back in to blanket and promptly went to sleep!
Been as laid back ever since!!!

Beez xx

Just off to empty bins - re-cycling stuff tomorrow!!! Load d/washer and pour another glass of red - 1 hour to curfew!!!

Beez xx

We love recycling, we go every Sunday to the local recycling centre, formerly known as the dump!!

There is a home for practically everything, and the guys that run it, get good bonusses for the higher percentage that is recycled, so dont you be turning up with a bag of household rubbish!!

Oh no, they will humiliate you by opening it up there and then and make you take each item off to its proper place.

The result here is that we put half a bag of rubbish out a week instead of what used to be about 6 bags!

Not bad for a family of five eh?

MTF, the future is looking green.xx

We have 3 bins here for our recycling - grey, brown and blue.

xx

In every garden!
x

hey thats funny .. our bins and re-cycling gets done tommorow too ...

sure you not live in my neck of woods ????


we have green bin for our food and garden waste , a little caddy for the kitchen for the small stuff to empty in green bin and the pink sacks for paper and glass stuff .. horrid job ... "phew holds nose in disgust"...

Billie xxx

We get the recycling van here once a fortnight. No boxes, you have to put out your own and they come about 7 in the morning.

The noise off the bottles being thrown into the back of the truck is deafening!

I wasn't going to have a drink tonight, but as Beez has mentioned one, I have just found my bottle of Scrumpy Jack that Tiggs gave ne for my birthday, so am going to sit and enjoy that.

Cheers Tiggs, thank you.xx

MTF.xx

And of course, I have a compost heap!!

MTF.xx

One hundred!
