What Happened to the Hot Potato

All of you want an update on my last post. I'm not sure if that is because you like seeing me squirm or just because you are curious but here goes.
Last week Wednesday was a good self-esteem day. I had calls from a lot of interested men. Unfortunately none that I was interested in for various reasons. Maybe one day I will introduce to you the mechanic and tell his story. For now I am focusing on the HR dude. So he called me on Wednesday inquiring about me, my health, my whereabouts and other more carnal stuff as it is soon become apparent.
But let me start at the beginning, I got a call from a private number; the HR guy as you already know. This is my attempt of revamping a story I kind of already told the ending to. Hmmm ... I'm skipping through the whole hoopla of him telling me he hasn't send the letter yet and if I was still accepting the applications. Yes, I am. Well, if I could tell him exactly what the job implies. I said sure, it is a wonderful job, probably the best you are ever going to get; you get to go where I go.
It turns out he wanted more. "Is that all?" he asked, "there must be more".
"I think that is quite a few tasks, but you are right. There is more. You want to know all the details now?, I asked.
"Yes", he answered.
In the meantime my brain is going crazy trying to come up with something that is going to throw him off. I might be ignorant sometimes, but I am not stupid. I know exactly what he is asking.
"Well, this job is based on promotions. First I need to see if you fulfill the needs of these simple tasks. If I am satisfied, you get to move up in ranking."
Puuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuutttttttttttttt
Chaile! I never been so happy about my credit running out. Although secretly I was also annoyed because not to toot my own horn but don't you think my answer was brilliant?

Celebrity spotter 10, 9,...

I added a new item to the list. Take pictures with 10 celebrities. Celebrity 10: Las t Friday we went to Jamie's new restaurant in Covent Garden. Standing there looking at the menu, I saw Gennaro. I've seen him on Saturday Kitchen before and remembered him because he said he didn't cook with olive oil; he only uses it for salads because it burns faster. Or so I remembered. After a lot of whispering I finally decided to approach him. So I asked him if he was the chef on Saturday Kitchen and if he was the one who doesn't cook with olive oil. He said No! I think that chef should be shot. I'm Italian and all Italians cook with olive oil, he says. He spoke with us for awhile and then moved on. Sitting there waiting for our food is when I added this item to my list. Gennaro is my first. After a very nice meal, we walk out of the restaurant and who do we spot? Louie Spence from Pineapple Dance Studio. Everyone loves him. He is just the most entertaining person to watch. Wo...

The Life of a Celebrity

I made the papers. Not once ... but twice! Yes y'all, my name and picture are in the newspapers and I didn't even have to commit a crime for it. All I had to do is my job. First article was all about the upcoming Census and our cooperation with the marking bureau. http://www.thedailyherald.com/islands/1-islands-news/10071-department-of-statistics-prepares-for-census-2011.html When I woke up that morning I ddin't realize I was going to be in the picture. I thought it was going to be just my Department Head but no! There I was in my bright pink shirt. Later that week we did the trainings for the Pilot Census and Bam! there I am again. http://www.thedailyherald.com/islands/1-islands-news/10214-statistics-dept-holds-final-training-for-pilot-census.html (Un)fortunately the picture is only in the papers and not on the internet. And just now, I am sitting at my desk waiting for the radio people to interview me. People here like my 'british' accent so should I thi...

Alone in the Office ...

Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. Maybe I have an active imagination, maybe have read too many books, maybe I have watched too much internet entertainment. I'm here working late, got to be ready for the holidays, right? Everyone has already gone home, Christmas shopping or just out having fun. Me? I am here enjoying some Ne-Yo ... One in a miiilllion parapapa. That boy is good. Even my Miss Independent self got to admit that he does make me go ooooohhh haaaaaa. Sitting alone in the office makes my mind wander. I start to think about hunky cleaners coming in after hours or an IT geek working long hours not realizing there is another person in the building. He makes himself comfortable .... really comfortable. See the air-conditioning can get very cold if you have been sitting in it for hours. I can understand that one might turn it off ... and then it gets to be sweltering hot. If you are wearing a suit and tie, you get hot. Really hot. Oh! Don't you know it .....
