    Yup, I am completely relaxed about the job. If I get it then great, if I don't then I am working in a nice company with a decent bunch of people.

    Nothing can possibly go wrong now.


    A nice example of a "show" there Gen ;)


    Best of luck :beer:

    Well I've kind of been put off blokes, so perhaps the small fluffy dog option is the best one :rotfl:

    Booooo!

    You should mean you've been put off certain types of blokes.

    Leave hope for some of us out there, eh Nikkster?;)
    It's getting harder & harder to keep the government in the manner to which they have become accustomed.

    For the first time since I've been in Aus I'm in a position where I'm solvent and happy as I am.

    In addition I have 2 jobs that I may or may not get, either of which would mean a substantial increase in income.

    The extra money of the job I've applied for would be great but TBH my current job is pushing me down a similar path and may well end in a similar place.

    Thank you to you and everyone else for your support. It helps a lot.

    A 'show' is what happens when people are thinking something significant. It's a poker term but you can apply it to any meaningful interaction.

    To give you an example, get together with someone that you know reasonably well and then start asking them some simple questions about the past and the future, e.g. where did you go to school, what's for dinner tonight. After a short time you should start to notice that when they are thinking of the past their eyes move one way (probably up and to your right) and when they are thinking of the future their eyes move a different way (probably up and the opposite of before). That is a 'show'.

    This comes from NLP which is pretty much entirely discredited but which does contain little helpful things IMHO. Be warned that most of it is pure quackery and don't be seduced by the few people that believe in it still and their magic tricks.

    The magic tricks are very impressive. As a form of psychotherapy I don't think it's up to much.

    I am a big fan of Derren Brown.

    Following on from Chewie's off-white shirts, today I am wearing my pink boxers. :)
    No reliance should be placed on the above! Absolutely none, do you hear?

    I wouldn't like to play poker against the fellow and wouldn't fancy anybody else's chances either.

    His favourite psychologist (Richard Wiseman) is very entertaining and has a good website and series of books.:beer:

    Maybe she's lost confidence in her ability to tell which blokes are the type you can trust and which aren't. I know I worry about that for myself. Not that I actually manage to meet any possibles, so it's purely academic.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)
