So I have been applying for permanant roles on & off since February have had a few interviews but (and this is to do with the market) there's always someone who's just that bit more qualified or experienced I just got turned down for another job where I tested well but they went with an internal candidate (hate it when they 'test the market') A friend of mine always seems to land on her feet with job - she has a job that she enjoys but has just landed her dream job. This always happens with her - got to london walked into a great job two days later, arrived back in NZ had a great job within a week or so.
I know I shouldn't compare my life with others but things just happen so easily for her

I no longer feel the urge to vomit and switch to a different station when I hear "Bridge Over Troubled Water" by Simon & Garfunkel.
(I love S&G, I just always hated that song and found it incredibly cheesy.)
Yours?

I got a new bunny this weekend! Since I lost Charlie last month, my other bun seems lonely and so I've brought her home a friend. She seems to be adjusting well and likes it here. Once she's comfortable with me and her new home, I'll start to introduce the two rabbits.
But first.... she still needs a name!
She's a gold-colored Netherland Dwarf and looks almost exactly like this. Any ideas?

why is it that glasses equals ugly? And as soon the glasses are off she's beautiful?
And do people really have the Mendelssohn march played at real weddings?
(Yes, old replays on the telly.)

The white devil cat that constantly attacked my sweet old kitty- causing me to rehome the old girl just to save her from it- has now decided to attack my little black kitty.
I'm fuming. I know she's just a cat- but fer fucks sake. I hate that I don't have my one cat anymore- and now she's making my little girl's life a living hell. I'm pissed at her and pissed a Flash because it's his devil cat.
Is there a cat whisperer that can come save the day? I seriously don't know what to do with her.

There's nothing quite like going to a live gig is there?
Last night me and 30,000 others spent a freezing evening standing in the rain listening to some damn good music.
Liam Finn opened and was followed by Ben Harper who was both gorgeous and brilliant. Eddie Vedder joined him on stage for a rendition of Under Pressure which was my favourite song of the night.
Pearl Jam did a phenominal 2 1/2 hour set and finished off their tour in great fashion. Near the end Liam and Neil Finn got on stage and PJ helped them sing Better Be Home Soon and the Split Enz classic I Got You. It was like we were spying on someone's backyard jam session and it was fucking awesome.
As we left we peeked over a wall and saw the band being driven away ... Eddie Vedder wound down his window and waved.
Great night. I love concerts.

Poppy and her son Trent are in the UK on their round-the-world jaunt, and kindly came to Portsmouth for the afternoon despite a very short four-day stop in the country!
We had a lovely afternoon - took Trent to the police station where he got to play with the blue lights and sirens on one of the fast response BMWs; then we had lunch at a little French cafe (tartiflette or croque monsieur all round!); then home to meet Stella and have tea and cake, just like we Brits like to do!
I no longer feel like a loser - people I meet on the internet really DO exist!
They fly out to Hong Kong nest, having been to LA, Las Vegas and New York. They'll be home all too soon though of course!
(!!!! - too many of these in here, but hey ho).

Well, obviously a very important problem! For years I've been mystified as to how some of my socks magically disappear after doing laundry. I look for them everywhere in the washing machine and in the vicinity and they're nowhere to be found. Does this happen to you or it's just my crappy homemaking skills?

It is PISSING with rain outside, the boat's getting knocked about all over the place. It's been like this for days now.
I hope megs is ok up there in Cumbria, they've taken the worst of it.
I feel like the canal is going to burst it's banks in a minute. That would be a nightmare. It's nice and cosy indoors though.

... you knock over a HUGE glass of water onto your sofa at 3:30 am but you don't clean it up because you're too busy watching the 1990s TV remake of The Black Stallion dubbed into Italian (which you don't actually speak).
Oooops.

lately, there is a lot of talk of cancer here on WT. I was talking with my family today and i found out that our friend, a 24 year old woman has few months to live. we don't know exactly what cancer she has but it started this summer when she was visiting her boyfriend in Canada. Suddenly - within a day! she got a big lump on her neck. Went to the doc here, they run some tests and told her its cancer. 2 days after they told her she flew to Poland. Did all the tests etc... and there is no cure. This guy's ex girlfriend had cancer too but beat it.
My aunt is dying of cancer in Poland too. My cousin's friend died a month ago. She was 40. My friend's boyfriend ( only 27 years old) had cancer too. In remission now.
I mention to my family about this board and how many people are writing about it too. What is going on? Am I being extra sensitive because i read about it here? Or there is ...

or lack thereof.
after spending the last four-ish days with my family I wish I was adopted. then at least I would have some reason for feeling like a complete outsider all the time. am totally fed up. either ignored, or criticised, or told that whatever I say/think/feel/whatever "doesn't count" as I "wasn't there."
do you feel like you belong? I guess really I never do, but it smarts a lot more when you expect at the very least you'll belong with your family and you don't.
two days left.
