Title: Quick Question Post by: byronkincaid on June 29, 2007, 10:10:30 AM Off to an Open Day to see daughter's new nursery school which is attached to the primary school we want her to go to. On the Application form I got away with saying I work from home.
If they ask, do I say I'm A Professional Poker Player, an internet poker donk (most trueful) or a self employed Consultant for various different internet gaming companies ??? Title: Re: Quick Question Post by: Geo the Sarge on June 29, 2007, 10:15:27 AM Deffo option 3 - nice title

Title: Re: Quick Question Post by: matt674 on June 29, 2007, 10:23:08 AM What does it matter to her school what you do for a living? Are they going to change the education they give her accordingly?
I'd tell them to mind their own business!!

"I have a huge boil, right in the crack of my arse" I replied, "I can show you if you like" She decided that wouldn't be necessary and made me an appointment to see the doctor. I had a similar experience at the bank when I tried to withdraw a couple of grand to play a festival. "What are you going to use this money for?" She asked. "I intend to retain the services of a high class prostitute" I replied. I'm not usually so rude, but it does make them realise how personal their questions are. What's more, both answers could have been true for all they know.

Both these not very well paid people are just doing what they are told to do. Rudeness etc if required should be directed at their managers.

If I ever manage to win the main event at the World Series, I have always planned that my response to the inevitable 'what are you going to spend the money on?' question in the televised interview will be 'Hookers and cocaine'. Even if it's not true.

Title: Re: Quick Question Post by: byronkincaid on June 29, 2007, 12:48:51 PM Well they didn't ask but they have invited themselves round for a home visit! I think they do it to everyone not just me so the question might come up then. Cos the Mrs goes to work I've got to deal with this which is totally fine, but I can see things coming up that just seem really weird. They want me to go to a coffee moning to meet all the other parents, like yeah I really want to go to a f****** mother's meeting ffs.

Title: Re: Quick Question Post by: pffa on June 29, 2007, 04:20:18 PM It is unfortunate but schools do judge people, your child will be advantaged if you fit in, volunteer for parent association meetings, help with school functions etc. I learnt this first time round with my daughter. It starts in nursery school but carries on all the way through. So if you final school is over subscribed your job description and previous contributions will help your child get in to your choosen school.
Good Luck Title: Re: Quick Question Post by: spruce goose on June 29, 2007, 04:27:58 PM by all means lie.
but then be prepared to teach your daughter to lie too when she becomes aware what you do all day.

I Surely , if your wife goes out to work, you must be a househusband, or whatever the trendy term is. How modern and liberated can you get. And once the work's all done, you can spend an hour or so on the internet. They'll love you.
