so what have you done lately that seemed like such a good idea at the time?? you know what i mean - you had an idea that sounded great...but now you're having second thoughts...or it's turned into a nightmare!?

me? well i joined avon. that's right. i'm now an avon lady! sheesh! sometimes i can't believe the things i do! it seemed such a good idea at the time! it all seems quite hard now...but i have to give it a chance otherwise i'll kick myself later...harder than i'm kicking myself now!!

i'm not sure if i can sell this stuff! argh! ah well - we'll see how it goes! luckily it was free to join! (yes! usually you have to pay for the privilige of selling avon!!)



so what have YOU done? let's make a big 'it seemed like a good idea at the time' box & throw everything in there!

I went and applied at a telemarketing company today... Gods I must be getting desperate. After that I got 3 calls from telemarketers... Ugh, if I get the job I'm gonna kick my OWN ass.

well this wasn't recent but two years ago I started working for the government....now I realise just how bad the system can be and I have also realised there is not a damn thing I can do about it.

Ahhh we all think we can change the system until we are in it...then it is too late to back out.

My most recent dumb decision was to look after my parents house for two weeks...not only will I not be able to smoke for two weeks (yes my parents do not know I smoke so I have to give up so their house won't smell like cigarettes) but they also have a psychotic dog that likes biting my ankles...:rolleyes: not my brightest idea.

And you'd be right!!!
I'm working on an assistance phone platform for the summer and it's hell. The people who work there permanently just go crazy, they all seem so weird, and alone, and in their own world of loneliness. And anyway being on the phone with people and trying to sell them things you despise is just the worst thing ever to do!! You get mad people who yell at you, people that hang the phone on your pre-written dumb introducing speech, or old people talking hours long of their life and you can't get your work done. Really don't accept this kind of job! simple friendly warning.

yeah, the good idea = go to london last thursday and have a night out of stupid proportions and then phone in sick on friday.
It all went wrong when i got busted for pulling a sickey and get sacked cos i'd only just started and was still on probation.

still, i had a brilliant night out and now i can find a job where i dont do anything and can come back to HoP all the time!
