Messymascot's faith in humanity and ginger safe haven

[Sassy Colombian]

Armagh is a City I shall have you know ?. Well, an ecclesiastical city to be precise.

I live south of there, very close to the border.

Yes I was aware of the Irish links to Colombia and I will explain how. A family tree search (done professionally) revealed that I had a relation who fought in the Spanish Civil War and that sparked my interest in where else Irish fought in world conflicts. Seems like we liked to put ourselves about a bit ?

I apologise about my imprudence. Those are the sort of mistakes that I made with the English language. For some reason in my head, town and city are synonymous ?

Nice. I have been doing my own research after my daughter became best friend to a girl whose parents have Irish roots and that's how I began reading about it. It seems the Irish contribution was significant enough that Bolivar dedicated part of his victory speech to thank them. Unfortunately, it is a part of history that I never learned while living in Colombia but having Irish friends has enlighten me about this part of my country's history.

red, Now you are going to have to clarify for me what is it that you consider the wacky stuff?

Use your imagination Sass. It shouldn't be too difficult. T knew what I meant.

It is the pout that I love the most, I try to take after it lol

We've noticed

I have been using my imagination but your lads are confusing when it comes to your visions of wacky. Do you consider cannabis one of the wacky stuff? Some of you may or may not be aware but I consume cannabis, I actually grow it in my garden both THC and CBD plants, I am big believer of using medical marijuana to treat many diseases that are instead being treated with narcotics or other sorts of medication. For me it helps me with my sleeping issues, I also have been using a balm made of THC that has been very good relieving foot pain that I have been encountering in reason months. So for me marijuana is a healing plant and not one of the wacky drugs but is it for you?

Now if you did that here you'd be arrested.

Illegal to cultivate your own cannabis plants regardless of the reason.

However I believe that CBD oil is now legal for medicinal purposes.

TBH, it wasn't just him. Unfortunately there a few posters here that don't like me and I'm the kind of person that tries to get along with everyone so I was feeling down about it. But Karl cheered me up and was very supportive during this time, receiving his emails those few weeks while I was away made a great difference.

There are quite a few arses on here Sass. I probably do 95% of my posting in this thread now to avoid them.

You can buy CBD in Tesco’s mate.

I must admit I have significantly reduced the time I spend on the main forum , and significantly increased the number of posters that I have on ignore.

Didn't notice that on the cornflakes aisle.

Like you Sass, I don't understand your employers actions here. In my opinion, the fact that you were the only applicant shouldn't have any bearing on the matter. You should have been interviewed for the role, and if you met their requirements offered the job. If you didn't, for whatever reason, you should have been given full feedback so you know what personal or professional skills you need to develop. At that stage they should have opened it up externally. They've handled this unprofessionally in my opinion, leaving you unsure of their opinion of you. It's a poor show and I've been there myself so I know how you are probably feeling. I do hope this works out for you Sass and, as I said, I'm fully confident you will make the right decision for you. I can tell you have fully thought it through.

If you do happen to make it down to Cornwall Sass, be clear that you and your family have somewhere to stay. If I'm still here that is. I am committed to staying where I am for at least the next 12 months, but I have not made a decision on my long term future yet and am not rushing into making one. I have plenty of room in the house and it is in the most beautiful part of Cornwall, and therefore the whole UK. In my considered opinion of course. Lots of things to do and places to eat, and lots of gorgeous beaches too. The water's probably a bit cold though.

Have you told me how much you love me?. I think not Sass. But please feel free to do so in picture format if you wish. lol

By the way, the offer of somewhere to stay applies to all my friends in here if you are ever down this way. I'd be glad of the company so it isn't putting me out.

That is a disappointing position that your college has taken.

Of course all the issues that you have set out regarding work / life balance are important and only you and your immediate family can decide what is right and when it is right.

Very best of luck with whatever avenue to decide to take.

I am a bit disappointed and really don't understand HR actions but to be honest I'm not surprised either. For some reason the VP of HR doesn't like me, not sure the reason behind it. It is almost a puzzling as those lads that don't like me here because all I want is to get along with people. I have said it before, I'm all about peace and love ?️ Unfortunately the HR at our college has a horrible culture and they rather promote people from outside than their own., that has been my experience and that of several of my coworkers. So I am going to wait and see what happens, the new deadline for application closes on Tuesday so it is going to be interesting what their approach will be if they still don't get any more applicants than me.

@Barnfred 55 If I make it to the UK before you move from Cornwall then my family will be delighted to visit you and spending time in such a lovely place with such great company, thanks so much for such offer.

33 I have on ignore here having just checked.
A lot now banned though, so should have a sort out.

Yes that's what I was referring to. And Jazzy's response explains why we refer to it as whacky baccy. (play on tobacco). It's illegal here, for the most part.

Because of the mild climate down here it's probably the only place in the UK where you can grow it in the wild. So it's quite popular down here Sass.

That is a very tight window to re-advertise and accept applications.

Perhaps they just have to be seen to be casting the net before they interview and offer you the job.

Good thing in the US things are now different when it comes to cannabis. I don't think stripes would suit me very well lol

Perhaps, I don't know what to think anymore Jazzy. I am just trying not to stress about it and just let things happen they way they are meant to be.
