…will work for cupcakes!! August 15, 2010

I will admit it, sometimes facebook freaks me out with its targeted advertising and suggestions. Today it pointed me in the direction of Paralegal novelty gifts which was quite spooky since I don’t mention I am a paralegal on my Facebook (or maybe it thinks I am a lawyer and I should be buying gifts for my paralegal).
But I will agree, I will always work for cupcakes!!

Many of you may have already seen this video: but again fitted in with the theme of this week’s seminar – that you should know what the walking away point is, particularly when negotiating on behalf of someone else.

Been a busy few days in work, so I’ve not had much time to blog unfortunately as most days I just want to curl up in bed. Yesterday I attended a seminar on ADR / Mediation and they shared with us this little gem:
Another exam down… more incidents – Share you own exam mess ups. June 11, 2009

Just another quick posting. Finished the elective exams today – so only got professional conduct left. So thankfully feeling a lot more relaxed now even though I’ve still had a rather hectic afternoon arguing over car tax in the post office. Apparently I’m too complicated.
Those who follow me on twitter will know very well by now that it appears to be impossible for my provider to hold an exam without some interruption or incident.
Examples include speaker announcements every 10 minutes, being locked out of the exam room and starting late, lost exam papers, and numerous errors in the papers.
So I invite you all to comment about your exam disasters, in the hope that my provider isn’t so bad after all.

1 Exam down… June 8, 2009

Just a quick message whilst passing though, having a relaxing few minutes before going back to tackle planning.
Employment exam DONE! We started the exam half an hour late because no one could find the papers and then there weren’t enough papers – complete and utter shambles. But generally the exam was manageable, got discrimination question which I didn’t want. But you can’t have everything.
Trying to resist the urge to post about the Omagh Bombing verdict – Relatives of the Victims won £1.6m damages against IRA. The 1998 Bombing is still one of those things I remember like yesterday. So more on this later.
On a brighter note: Awesome video to get you motivated (or dancing).
There is even a Brooklyn tribute to this mashup.

Okay, old ad (not seen it in ages) but its getting posted around by some friends (procrastination at its best), and during exams its a good laugh and makes me want to scream bring on the trumpets in random in appropriate places, or out the window at unsuspecting passers by.
For more procrastination the natural confectionery co have more videos on their youtube page. Classic.
