Nanny Boo Boo gets back today so I went down yesterday with Battle Cat to make sure the place is nice and tidy and none of the flowers were dead (they weren't - I did a good job).
So I was well chuffed with myself and went on down the Lagan Meadows with Battle Cat. It was chilly and we hadn't got enough clothes on us (or I didn't, he walks around naked).
We were walking back up to Stranmillis when I found my protege writing "Fuck the police" on a bench.
I asked him was he ready for his second lesson.
He said yes.
I asked him if he'd learned the first.
He said the first was not to trust people.
I said no. The first lesson was that people won't do something for nothing. I'm teaching him about the lessons of life so I want paid for this.
I then asked him was he ready for lesson two.
He said yes again.
I told him if he finds two quid spend one on flowers and the other on food.
He looked confused. I was a bit too, it was something I read online a few days ago I don't really know what it means.

Balls Job Interview - No 2
So my interview yesterday went total balls. I just about managed to get the wine off my teeth (it was red) and bit the rest off my lips but I could tell by how the interviewers looked at me that they knew rightly. It didn't help that I was really late and had to run so I was breathless and sweating heavily throughout the whole thing.
First they went over what experience I'd had. I lied out my hole saying I'd done this and that for companies which (if they'd asked) had all conveniently went bust (which they didn't) and gave Fabian Wildman and Nanny Boo Boo as references. At the end they asked me to sign a form which said they could check with the dole to see if my employment records were correct. I told them no because I felt it was intrusive. Either they trusted me or they didn't and in this line of work trust was important. They bought this even less and told me if I didn't sign it they couldn't offer me a position.
I told them my principles were more important but really if I signed that sheet they'd find out it was all balls and the dole would think I'd been doing the double.
Not fucking fair
