Hello

i had a laugh today, i finally decided to go to the Access to Work team at the Job Centre. Well you must all remember that she said something about me being a potentila liability. Well the same woman was there who put me in touch with the Access to Work team. Anyway one thing lead to the next and 10 minutes later on i was with the access to work woman. She was quite posh well she thought she was, so she sat down looking down her nose at me and gave me the you look fine look. So she asked what my problem was so i said KC, and then i had to explain to her what it was. So i said what GarethB said. A saggy boob, where the front is like crinkle cut chips. Well talk about laugh, she didn't know where to put her face. :lol:

My intention was not to cause embaresment to you or the lady to whome you were speaking to :oops:

So as a result of my description, have I ruined all chances of your finding employment?

True, I would have done just the same in your postion

Probably why I have been in the same job for nearly six years without a promotion :roll:

J-B

did the rather prim lady at the Access to Work place offer any thoughts on your job prospects, or justr blush at your (apt) description of the effect of KC on the topography of the eye?

I shall cherish the thought!

Looks can be deceptive.
