Assessment day

Oh my.....what a day!! I feel shattered!! I went for an assessment day today for a new job involving a competency based interview, skills test, case study presentation without preparation and group work.

I would absolutely love this job as its so interesting, the people seemed lovely, the working environment was stunning with gym, hair dressers, great restaurant, flexi time, fab offices *sigh*........ there were 16 candidates seen today.

I'm treating this as a learning experience and despite feeling that I haven't got the job it was a positive day and I've learnt so much from it :o)

Brain update!

Ok so it's getting better, my brain that is! It seems daily exercise really does help. I'm 32 now, a great improvement on 58!

The exercises consist of calculations, speed is of the essence; high vs. low calculations; head counts; memory tests and reading aloud. I struggle with this one, reading aloud, but I'm getting there. It all stems back to school days when I hated the ridicule of reading in class and struggling over words. Anyone else out there using this I'd welcome comments, over and out for now :o)

My brain is old!!!

Well I got myself a Nintendo DS Lite together with Brain Trainer.....hmmmm. So I begin by testing my brain in terms of agility completing a series of tests. It tells me my brain is 58!!!! That's just wrong!!!

So I need to do daily exercises to try to gain my youth ha ha!!! I have to say that the unit relies on you writing in a certain way and it recognising your voice but it's pretty efficient, the odd occasion when it doesn't contributes to my flagging brains results so perhaps I'm not really quite so decrepit??!!!! I'll keep you posted how I get on!

Sing!!!!

Oooooo, singsnap is such fun!!

You get to record your favourite tracks.....play with video effects, have a sing, meet some cool people.

Using a simple cam is a bit restrictive with sound quality and vision but nevertheless enjoyable!

Why not give it a go, see ya there!

Rooster Rock!!!

I love this band but sadly they are no more.....my best friend introduced me to them...thank you Hic!!!!

Rooster were an English rock band. They formed in 2002 by Nick Atkinson on vocals, Luke Potashnick guitar, Dave Neale drums and Ben Smyth bass. Atkinson and Potashnick were former school friends who reunited while living in London, after both admitted they were struggling to make an impact with their respective bands. They formed Rooster with Neale and Smyth and, after only a few live shows, were signed to Brightside.

The band's self-styled "griff rock" combined hard rock with pop. The debut single, "Come Get Some", reached the UK top 10 in November 2004. The band received much acclaim for their live shows, which were energetic and exciting with fantastic musicianship. Live shows saw the band improvising and extending songs; Neale often performed a four minute long drum solo during "Drag The Sunrise Down". With musical differences and difficulties with the record company the band announced their split via their Myspace on 23rd January 2007.

Man In A Hot Air Balloon Joke"

Rooster

A farmer went out one day and bought a brand new stud rooster for his chicken coop.

The new rooster struts over to the old rooster and says, "OK old fart, time for you to retire."The old rooster replies, "Come on, surely you cannot handle ALL of these chickens. Look what it has done to me. Can't you just let me have the two old hens over in the corner?" The young rooster says, "Beat it: You are washed up and I am taking over." The old rooster says, "I tell you what, young stud. I will race you around the farmhouse. Whoever wins gets the exclusive domain over the entire chicken coop." The young rooster laughs."You know you don't stand a chance, old man. So, just to be fair, I will give you a head start."

The old rooster takes off running. About 15 seconds later the young rooster takes off running after him. They round the front porch of the farmhouse and the young rooster has closed the gap.He is only about 5 feet behind the old rooster and gaining fast.

The farmer, meanwhile, is sitting in his usual spot on the front porch when he sees the roosters running by. The Old Rooster is squawking and running as hard as he can. The Farmer grabs his shotgun and - BOOM - he blows the young rooster to bits.

The farmer sadly shakes his head and says, "Dammit.....third gay rooster I bought this month." Moral of this story? .... Don't mess with the OLD FARTS - age, skill, wisdom, and a little treachery will always overcome youth and arrogance!
