Work and eggs (uh...yeah)

[rebness]

So, five minutes after my tyrannical 'boss' left, I have been offered a promotion at work. Granted, said promotion only works out to €200 more a month, but it's pretty neat. Sad that it had to take me grumbling before it was offered. Even sadder that I'm attending an interview for another job soon. Oh, well!

It's a pity I really, really like my new boss. I had all these visions of telling Evil Boss where to shove it. Now that shall never come to pass. Instead, if I do get the job, I'll apologetically explain she's great, but... but... I'll get me coat. ;_;

In rad news, I poached an egg for the first time today without failing miserably. It was courtesy of this site, where the lulzy phlegm-like eggy failures pretty much match my earlier attempts. Then comes the neat clingfilm trick and internets, let me tell you: it works. Like whoah. Anyway, I am now perfect at (cheating at) poaching eggs; today's test run shall be tomorrow's duck egg-with-asparagus-and-parmesan crisp welcome back meal for my missing flatmate. I never thought I would love clingfilm so much. Yay!

Erm... correct me if I'm wrong (and maybe I just don't understand the concept of poaching eggs) but if you're dropping the egg into boiling water then how is this different from, well, boiling it?

You talk about food so much and I love food. Let me know if you ever need a new flatmate : )

Yeah, usually jobs dont know what they got til its gone. My last job treated me like crap and had the nerve to be surprised when I said 'that's it, shove off'. They were even more surprised when most of the other staff was gone within six months of me. Yeah, I had a real Norma Rae moment.

With my luck, the cling wrap would either catch fire or explode.

I'll stick with my little egg poacher that sits in a frying pan. ^_^

Congrats. Having to grumble before it's offered - remind me to tell you about the nonsense the last couple of weeks Rem was at the call centre... ;)
