Feb. 28th, 2007 10:45 pmWhy does the word 'sunshine' in a song make me cry?
Sunshine on Leith and You are my Sunshine.
Both guaranteed to make me cry.
Am trying to use the latter in a fic...
makes me cry.
you know when you feel really really stupid?
Today I interviewed a young (practically half my age) black lad. When he left he held his hand up in a 'thumbs up' sign. I kind of smiled at him and said goodbye again. He half shook his head, came a bit nearer and gestured again at me with his thumb. I felt stupid, but gave him a thumbs up in return and said goodbye again. Nope. He shook his head again, got even nearer to me, held his hand out to me in the thumbs up gesture and kept it there until I did it back to him, in the lamest, omg sad old bird trying to be hep, greeting/hands touch thing.
I felt like someone's odd old uncle trying to be cool!
I DID go to work. Knew I shouldn't. Had three 90 minute interviews, three irate phone calls, a 90 minute meeting, two reports to write and a 15 minute lunch.
I did get a proposal though! Romantic or wot.
"Tell you what Jode, if we neither of us can get anyone else in the next couple of years I'll marry you."
It was all so sudden...
