😠 The Little Annoyances Of Everyday Life (Part 1)

God that 1st Communion was painful.
I got “stared out” from the confines of the Church for sitting hen I should hve stood then not kneeling. Bollocks - so I sat in the car for an hour & a half. In 22C. Bollocks.
To “the do” Soup was :face_vomiting: MSG & salt overdose, followed by Pork Loin cooked at 300C for 3 days with a Wild Mushroom sauce that last saw the light of day in 1872.
Then a bowl of 1970’s Fruit Salad, Chocolate, Vanilla & Cream Ice Cream.
THEN they delivered several tons of “Cold Cuts” (OK the Pate was nice)
A 3Kg Cake and then (FFS) MORE hot overcooked food - Chicken Kiev - luckily I had done a runner by then citing bad back & heat stroke

But at the end of the day it was about the Step Niece so actually it was lucky I am a Saints fan & used to horrible days

The Cake FFS

Most strange.
Being contacted by a Corporate HR type (ie Headhunted but not by an agency)
Telling them yeah, I did some of that stuff but not for your type of operation, and telling them I am an old fart.
They asked for my CV Friday afternoon.
Monday morning they asked me what my notice period & salary expectations are.

I’m like whoa wait…

I mean I know there is a labour shortage and the Native English Speakers are like rocking horse shit in Europe these days…

Thing is - it is like THE most unlikely job P_F would ever get and I know everyone of my mates would just collapse with split sides. It’s also discombobulating as I don’t really want to get back into the game, I like going on holiday every week (if only there were some tourists here)…

We wait with a disbelieving smirk to be able to utter the words. Yeah told him I wasn’t suited to that sort of Industry

Remarkable coincidence that at the same time I was dragged into attending a remote relation’s child’s Christening. I am not religious and none of my immediate family have been Christened but I am prepared to be tolerant and attend such events if others still believe in this sort of thing. I’m convince the child’s parents aren’t religious: it was just a “fun” thing to do.

But I wasn’t prepared for a “child-friendly” Christening that was a surreal combination of a trendy female vicar chanting the archaic words in a way that made her sound down with the kids whilst many children ran and screamed uncontrolled through the church. At least one had to be prised from the pulpit and the font became a water play area. “Do you renounce the devil and all evil and you two, play nicely! No, don’t pull her hair!”
“We renounce the devil and STOP IT all evil”

I struggled with the whole thing. If you are religious and want to do this, surely it should be taken seriously. The whole thing was having a good joke over going through the motions.

At least there was food (and drink but not for me as I’d been elected driver), albeit totally comprised of pastry and other forms of carbs. Not even a tomato or lettuce leaf in sight.

It’s 27C FFS.

Think it will be more an “Airconditioned Bar” tour of Krakow tbh
