Working to live?

So.

This.

I'm torn trying to decide if I'm proud that we Irish are such a diligent lot or if actually we're a crazy bunch of masochists flogging ourselves to death in places where we're just a number.

I know which one I am. Do you?

Sorry seems to be the hardest word

Have to admit, was a little shocked today.

I got an apology from someone after they'd been less than pleasant.  Maybe it's a sad reflection on today or people or the people specifically around me but I definitely wasn't expecting one.  It actually wiped the downer from yesterday . Such a powerful little word. 

So if you've done something on someone take a big deep strong breath and let it out. With the "sorry" sound attached. And mean it.  Just a little bit of healing...can't do any harm.

Water, water everywhere...

All the things that they have done to us and ours, and it seems like charging us higher than the EU average for crummy, limey, bog addled water is the straw that's tickling the camel's back.  This one could have some real power behind if everyone says focussed...about time too.

It never went away...

It's still here.  I checked.  We're just all pretending it isn't by shopping and going on holidays and taking "Isn't my life awesome" selfies. Which is mostly fine.  Except we're back to inaction, inertia and individualism. Fairies unite...

Holiday! Celebrate!

This fairy is having a well earned holiday! I didn't think I'd be getting one of those this annus horribilus!

Sometimes has good news!

It's official people.

I'm am once more pink, sparkly and fluffy. I have a job. No more free government money for me, I'm back paying my dues to support all the remaining wingless fairies out there.

Happy days indeed.

(I'm sure I'll be moaning about it in about a month or so when the shine wears off)

Bad Blogger!!

I'm a bad little blogger, aren't I?

Nothing for months, you'd think I was busy or something. Well, I'm not. And anyone who reads my blog will most probably be sick of my continual jobless whining. So readers, I do not have a lot to do.

Managed to secure another few interviews. 3 with the same place and still waiting on a yes or no. Very, very excited about this one, they've been very positive and I did my best. Time will tell.

Other news? I'm still working the lumo every day, sneaking it into the outfit one way or another, even if it's just a snazzy hairband I bought that I wear as a necklace or bracelet. Penneys is still been kept in profit by yours truly, it really just keeps getting cooler and cooler. And I went a mad eBay show buzz, recession or not. A girl's gotta have killer heels...

And Michael Jackson. Well I have to mention it, it has taken the summer news lull period by storm and it really is a baffling level of blankey (excuse the pun) covering. Sad indeed but there's so much smoke, if there's no fire, there's one hell of a smoke machine. The truth will probably never be known, and that kills my curiosity cat.
