So apparently I am some kinda stand up comedian or something in London. The people I work with find everything I say to be hilarious. Well ok, not everything, but the amount they laugh at my comments seriously exceeds their funny-ness.
Co-worker: "So, do you like it here?"
Me: "Ummm, it's alright. I mean, I don't hate it if that helps?"
Entire office: *Raucous laughter*
A customer misheard my name on the phone then addressed an email to me as "Grin". It has become a running joke to refer to me as Grin. I really need to stop mumbling my name.
Me: "Oh you know, it matches my personality. Goes with the giant grin I constantly have on my face."
Entire office: *Raucous laughter*
Boss: "It's really good that you can laugh at yourself. Beat everyone else to it.
Uhhh, thanks.
Also today I was opening the mail and I totally ripped someone's cheque in half. WAY TO APPEAR COMPETENT.
Well I'm still flat hunting and it's super depressing.
It's like constantly being interviewed for a job, except you don't know what the job is so you have no idea what the right answers are to the questions. And sometimes there are 10 other people in the interview with you and they all seem to know what the job actually is.
And then sometimes you think the interview went real well but they decide to give the job to a friend of a friend anyway. Or they just never contact you again.
Alternatively the bosses are all creepy foreign men in dark dingy buildings in the middle of nowhere/the ghetto who you wouldn't want to work for anyway.
The other day I actually thought I might get murdered so I texted Jenny to tell the police where I went if I disappeared. NO JOKE.
I have like 5 more places to look at over the weekend so FINGERS CROSSED.
Then maybe I will have things to blog about other than constant rejection!
This post needs some kind of video probably:
Hi Erin! You sound like you are going down a hit at your office! It is a smart move cos you need to cement your niche- no one wants to fire the funny one! NO ONE! Grin is pretty much the perfect nickname for you. I would go as far as to suggest an official name change? kind of like how Miley cyrus is really Destiny Hope? And look how famous she is as Miley? That could be YOU 'GRIN MCMULLAN: Headlining at the comedy club'. Please don't get murdered okay?
ReplyDeleteMaybe it could just be my stage name? Like how Portia De Rossi was actually called Amanda something then she made up a name for herself. THEN she married Ellen Degeneres and changed her name the Degeneres BUT she still uses De Rossi everywhere.
ReplyDeleteActually it would be nothing like that.
I WILL TRY REAL HARD NOT TO GET MURDERED BUT IN RETURN YOU MUST VISIT ME. SOON.
also miley cyrus comes from SMILEY CYRUS, NO JOKE. maybe just "rin" would be good. all the words i get to prove i am not a spambot when i post comments are not actually words, like "endolf" and "derts"
ReplyDeleteSean, did you google Hooper Jane flat to to get to my blog?
