Spotting an old wooden torch by moonlight, he dug through his pockets for a match. Suddenly a hand appeared and lit the torch for him. “Gee, thank you, buddy. I couldn’t see anything in here!” “No problem.” The Mummy said. “You woke me up with your confounded digging anyway!” http://www.industreal.spb.ru/smiles/scull.gif :lol: :lol:
I am in the airport. I now supervise 5 bookshops in the Airport in dublin. I took the job because i needed money badly! was unemployed for three months by that point. Here almost two years now. It's not wasting time though. In Britain the archaeology structure is different to here. Over here your contract ends with a company if they have no work for you and you end up unemployed until you find another company to hire you. In britain most of the time they'll keep you on but sub hire you to another company until they get more work of you.Quote:

there were two archaeology features on a site. one turned to the other and cried ' Here comes an Archaeolgist! Act natural!':D
I have always wanted to work in a bookshop! It is certainly the best place to get discounts :)
I get a 30% discount. Bye bye wages!
:lol: 30% is great! But I can imagine how one's wallet could be drained by the other 70% if a bibliophile :DQuote:

This is also one of my vices. I'm addicted to buying books, even though I know I won't have time to read them. There is only so much that one can read, but a good book makes one salivate and desire it.Quote:

I always end up picking up the books i've already read instead of the ones i bought hadnt read yet. I think its a sickness!:sick:
No, I do the same thing, niamh! :p
Maybe i should make it my new years resolution: Read the books i spent well earned money on and never read!
:bawling: I wish I had your problems (or all your unread books :p). I'm almost always so short of money that I depend on the books library has to offer (read: none published after WWII) :rolleyes:.
