Interview

I think the interview yesterday went well.

I arrived my usual 15 minutes early only to be told that the instructions I had been given were wrong and my testing wasn’t starting at 12 but at 10 past 12, so instead of being 15 minutes early I was then 25 minutes early. SO I sat and people watched.

I have to say I was surprised seeing it was a large government department at the standard of dress, there were hippy chicks, weird dressers, very casual dress but I think what topped the cake was the lady in her grotty track suit with her lovely black high heeled boots. Some interesting fashion statements!

Eventually it was time for me to go in and do my pre interview test which was dead easy and then I spent half an hour chatting with a panel of 3 people. I am getting good at tooting my own horn and selling myself, so by the end we were all smiling and having a chuckle. It went well I think. I won’t know for another 3 weeks though as to the outcome. I can’t believe how slow the whole process is.

I am actively seeking work again as this job is turning more into a glorified receptionists position and there isn’t enough challenge in it for me. Between that and the long hours and the small pay cheques, there really isn’t much motivation for coming in of a morning. At least it is a pay packet each week. I really shouldn’t complain. One of my favs has just lost her job over her open diary and is now having to look at using her savings to survive until something else comes up. Horrid situation, so yes I am grateful, I have a job and if it gets horrid I have a husband who will support me while I look for something else. Things could be worse.

Tonight I am off to my best friends place, we will be food shopping for our weekend away. A part of me is really looking forward to this, but there is a small part of me that is going to miss hubby terribly. But I can make that up to him the following weekend when we go away overnight for our wedding anniversary. 12 months already….where has the time gone?

Ok I am going to post this and get back to work.

Just another little piece of me…..

glad the interview went well, fingers crossed for you. Good question, where does the time go? I can’t believe it’s been 12 months already either!

Glad the interview went well. 🙂 But you do know that the words “slow” and “government” pretty much go together, right? LOL! It’s been a year?! Really?! I remember looking at the wedding photos. It doesn’t seem like it was that long ago. Amazing.

Glad it went well! 🙂 So spill the beans, which government departement is it? I’m a nosey parker. One of your faves lost her job over OD!?!? What… over using it at work?

Spirits way

*finger’s crossed* {{{{hugs}}}} The wheels of our govt run slowly – a lady I work with had to wait 4 weeks for a decision over her job. I’m sorry about your friend loosing her job, I hope she/he finds another one soon. Have a fantastic time away with your friend – I’m sure you & Paul will find ways of making up for the time your away *laughs*. {{{{hugs}}}}

Good to hear you did well with the interview. Enjoy your weekend… and your anniversary… you great wife, you. ::Kisses::

RYN – I taught myself, really. When I come across a diary with a great layout, I look at the source and study the codes they’re using. That way I’ve learnt quite a lot about HTML and now I can do it myself. I’m not even sure if I’m doing it all correctly, but the end result looks good, so I’m happy. 🙂

All the best…and you ARE the catch!! Enjoy your hop away, and you will only love him more upon your arrival home. Have a tonOfun!!

RYN: I plan on waiting to get into anything terribly serious for a while. I want to keep my own place, my own friends, do my own thing, but still date Chris and occasionally spend the night curled up in his arms. I think the wisest thing to do is renew my lease in November so I’m forced to stay myself, and not get back into being part of a couple again so fast. Dating yes, serious no.
