Painkillers and a quiet afternoon for VV then.

At least you haven't got your bird feeders hanging over the car lil.

True. All we have to do now, it get rid of the telephone wires over the car and the pigeons and the red berries and.....

The trees at the back of my place are full of lorikeets, rosellas, some galahs, and heaps of sulphur crested cockatoos(noisy things)...
Oh, and a few kookaburras in late afternoon....

I can see all those at my local bird park. I guess your bird parks are full of sparrows and starlings?

Dont see too many sparrows and starlings. The Indian Mynah birds are a real pest here, and take over the territory of the small birds....

Things went well at the interview yesterday. The guy said I ticked all the boxes with very big ticks.

That was until we discussed my sickness record

It feels like I'm being punished again for being ill last year.

I should find out later on this afternoon if I got the job or not, although I'm not holding my breath.

It was strange you know...he had this huge grin on his face, then I told him about my sick and the reasons for it and his face just dropped. It was as if someone had flicked a switch.

oooOOOOOoOOooo

I wouldn't delve into your medical records, but obviously the employer wants to know whether you are actually going to be in the office for a reasonable amount of your working life. It sounds like you have been open and honest with him, which is good, but the other thing is for you to be seen to be taking steps to address any causes of long-term sickness.
