God's there aren't but there should be ...

Tomi ... I don't believe I am going to try to explain this to you ... but ... here goes:

In your post regarding the God/dess of form filling ... you stated that you hated having to confirm your email address and your password and you said:

GO AWAY!!!

I was asking to you to confirm that you meant to select "GO AWAY" ... oh well, it was funny at the time!!!!

Smoking is slow and painful suicide! Have a good day Tomi!

The funny thing of course is that there actually are gods and/or goddesses for all these things - at least one's which have them under their job descriptions!!!! Yes - I seem to remember a goddess of chocolate, (though as always - when I come to describe these things, my brain goes utterly blank.....(!)) The Romans just created their own gods as well as taking over other ones, didn't they? Built a shrine to them and paid them when they answered their prayers and ignored them, let them slip into obscurity when they didn't.........(!)
I would like there to be a god/dess of countless energy, so I never ever need to go to sleep again - but can keep on dancing, burning the candle at both ends!!!!!!!!

Perhaps another fun thread could be researching/ finding obscure/unusual gods/goddesses????????!!!!!

okay I will...
when and/or if I see her

Fascinating stuff Nicci. I didn't know that's how far they went in Roman times. Very practical as well.

Excellent idea. Why don't you start a thread about it?

Okedok - will do ! Let me just get back into student/ researcher mode (!) (Years since I finished uni....so this may take some time!!!!!! !

Incidentily Ook - what type of teacher is Gina ?
I am usually an ESOL/EFL teacher ....used to teach at City of Bristol and Weston College.....am trying to change direction though since jobs becoming scarcer and adapt to secondary or take a PGCE or teach Basic Skills at college...(should probably make my mind up!) Sorry, just a short aside! lol - will get back to topic!!!!

i look forward to seeing that thread - I'll have to see if I can dig something up too, fascinating subject!

Gina is not a teacher but one of my sisters is an art teacher and middle school head (I think) in a Birmingham Secondary School. What direction are you considering from hereon-in if you don't mind me asking?

A god of finding a new job would be a good one. I'd have spoken to that dude or dudette a few times in my career.

I suppose thinking of a name for the god off jobs would be a good start then.

Seriously though, if you need help with networking techniques, interviews, CV's, etc. just give me a shout.

Well there's that one in the disc world books "The God of Hangovers" he is a good idea

Aww I read that book! He was so miserble and groggy all the time!

The hogafther was a great book, one of my fav. disc world.

The whole idea of having 'Oh gods' is brilliant i think, though the best wasn't a god though it was the wart fairy (like the tooth fairy but ugly and hauling around a bag of warts yum)
