Kitten, Everyone is in a job they're not qualified for and have no idea how to do!

If everyone did their jobs efficiently, the economy would collapse!

Cheers. The only *real* problem is, it's a full time job, so I'd have to drop ceramics... Which sux as I've only just started to get the hang of it!

Hold onto ceramics if you can, they can be handy missiles in an emergency.

For example: When someone who doesn't know who to ask asks you to do something you don't know how to do and are not qualified to do.

Did I mention the task is 99 9/10ths of the time unnecessary?

<hmmm, sounds like a regular workday>

Welcome Bibwit!

Welcome Bibwit have some pie. Purplebeana should come and get some as well, 'cos as promised these flavours are not the seame as those in the TFB Fforum.

<thinks that there may be a possibility in making about 49 flavours of pie which can be eaten in combination to make different tastes.>

Dont congratulate me, lol. I haven't got it yet, and would rather be congratulated for bombing out at the trial day! lol. The job is being a 'lifestyle co-ordinator' ... Is it me, or does that sound dodgier than it is?

What on earth is a lifestyle co-ordinator? Is that like "paid best friend for saddos"? ;)

did someone mention my name? And pie? yum. Thanks.

Life style co-ordinator sounds like a great job. I'm sure you'll be fine. Just make it up as you go along and remember most people will generally believe anything if you say it confidently enough! :-) Good luck!

It occurrs to me that those needing a lifestyle will not notice it?

So when you have successfully coordinated, you're out of a job, right? Do you go on then to someone else's lifestyle? That might actually be kinda interesting...

Of course I knew it was you! I remember you telling me about that rumour...
And how it was your user name.
I don't have a memory like sieve, or at least like to think I don't!
Co-op dictatorship- you could apply for that sort of job? ^_^

So is it tiered? Rich people get a lifestyle coach and poorer people get a daily grind bus?
