I agree with you - it's terrible when people tell you that they will call by a certain date and then they do not call when promised. If it's in a romantic situation, we now know that it means that he's not into you. But, what happens when it's a professional or a friend? Are we to think that the person is not that into us - whether on a professional or friendship level - Bottom line, to avoid these speculations, I suggest a rule: people, in general, shouldn't say that they will call at a specific time/date unless they plan to live up to their assertion. Also, if the person has a great explanation for the failure to call, we should be willing to forgive and forget because life is hectic but if it becomes a habit . . . we should probably tell the person about their repeated faux pas.

Let me respond to the pertinent parts: Yes, I do have a job offer, which I've accepted, so I do know where my money is coming from; I probably wouldn't be the best farm worker; I'm definitely coming to Ireland for the adventure, but it's about taking the leap and challenging myself. Did I answer your questions? I'm not even sure there were questions :-)Sirmeljahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14938342894893584543noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6698400921868577046.post-51072204221110960412007-05-04T21:36:00.000+01:002007-05-04T21:36:00.000+01:00Tell me dear, you want to live and work in Ireland...Tell me dear, you want to live and work in Ireland, right? And you don't have a job there yet and I presume you don't have a way in place to earn a living via your work using your own laptop/notebook and an internet connection? Okay...<BR/><BR/>(1) Why not pretend that since you don't have income that you are going to <BR/>()(a) Seek employment<BR/>()(b) figure out how to earn income as a virtual assistant<BR/>()(b) look for work that will pay you in terms of food, housing and utiltiey plus a sipend<BR/>()(c) assess how much cash you could rais in a week and how you could use ha cahs to live in Ireland<BR/><BR/>In otherwords, you have one poker in the fire, that's good. Ball is in theri court. You can call once a day, fine. but you've got 23.75 hours left of the day!<BR/><BR/>Adventure? check out Workers on Organic Farms (WOOF) or "Intentional Commnities"...I mean there is so much to consider.<BR/><BR/>YOu don't even know who you will be working with at this could-be job offer in the wings. Why not go to the place of propsoed employment to see if you even like the vibe?<BR/><BR/>Now It's May 4th. I'm responding to a post of April 26th so I'm hoping your vision has expanded since then.<BR/><BR/>Take care and have fun. You're there (or will be there) for adventure, right? "desperate bid to inject some fun and adventure into her life"<BR/><BR/>All the best, Nia. :)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
