How Superstitious are you ?

Anonymous — Fri, 06 Sep 2013 11:07:33 GMT

Hi,

When i'm counting I say 12 + 1.

I salute a lone Magpie.

So how superstitious are you ?

Will you walk under a ladder ?

Step on a crack in a pavement ?

Cross a Black Cats path ?

Apparantly sports players are very superstitious.

I walk under ladders, walk on cracks, spill salt, organise things on Fri the 13th. And my cat is black, I cross her path many many times a day

Not superstitious at all

I do all the above without worrying about silly supersticions.....maybe that's why I'm so unlucky?

I used to be very superstitious, until one day at School when I got a "credit slip" on a Friday 13th (back then if you did anything good at School you got a credit slip)

Not much actually, it was just the "thing" of getting one that was good back then.

I just didn't get one for that time I told my old English teacher to sod off! :lol:

Nothing like that when I was at school.

You either towed the line or was caned !

My children could earn gifts for good attendance and good work etc, when they where at school.

I've just called at the Flat to pick up my rota for next week's carers, and they've given me 8.50 to 9.50 AM on Friday the 13th, despite the fact I spoke to the care manager on Wednesday, before they posted the rotas, and asked for 7.30 AM because it's my first day back at work for the new School year (I'm not a teacher, I work at an education facility run by the local Police force). The point is that they would have to get the rest of the week right but mess up Friday the flippin' 13th!

I've been doing this job 5 years Chiara, and it's only voluntary, I've applied 3 times to the llocal Special Constabulary, but I failed the interview in August 2011.

You hadn't told me about that one, Richard Still, voluntary work counts for your CV

You'd think so, but in 2007 I had a meeting with a woman from the local branch of Remploy, and she accused me of lying about every word of my CV! Purely because I have 23 years of voluntary work experience, but no references because the bosses I worked for years ago aren't there to give references any more.

Can't you maybe try to arrange another meeting with them? It's been a few years now and you might encounter a smarter person
