Ugh, group interviews.

Thankfully here they have a different approach: if they like me I'll be invited to work there for a day to see how I find it. As I'm supposed to help develop a training programme this is hardly a realistic thing, but it gives me an idea of the culture of the place. I asked them to make it two days as I'm too introverted to be any use on one day.

If that works on both sides, then I have to look for a small apartment and work here for up to six months trial period and if that goes well I'm in indefinitely and it's time to move the family south.

I have no idea what they think thus far, although I did see my interviewer noting my request for a two day invite, so that may be a good sign... I'm still kind of hoping something more local will come through. We shall see.

Sounds more realistic to what I've done today. It's hard to work as an effective team when the other members of said team all want the ONE job that you want. Fortunately, it was quite a pleasant group and the interviewers made everyone feel relaxed and 'at home' so it went a lot better than I was expecting.

I hope you get the job you want.

Will you have to change your screen name,then?

No, I'd -just- be inside the German border, although I cycled into Switzerland yesterday and it took a couple of hundred metres before I realised.

Checking your bank balance?

Checking your bank balance?

I kept my wallet hidden.

That is one potential problem with the new job: we're by the Swiss border and that means rent is expensive. This could kill off Lörrach as a place to work.

Just back from those holidays.

On the flight back the girl sent some cut frankfurter flying... She's sent food flying a lot this week.

I didn't have a bin receptacle, so I used my finished bottle o' pop. About an hour later I thought I would crush it before I handed it to the stewards collecting rubbish...

Cap and slice of frankfurter flew insanely fast about three rows back before I got chance to crush it. I have no idea what it hit on the way, but I got a bunch of funny looks.

Anyway, you could try that next flight.

Nah, mate, I'm working on a Bockwurst bazooka....

That poor mouse!

Doing it's best to help you and you go and drop it!

It made me think of "I hate those mieces to pieces". Summat like 'Mr Jinx',i think.

Time to clear up and pack away the hellhole that's my desk in preparation for the school summer hols.

I wonder what I'll find under the mess.

Ugh. hope you fight that off quickly. Colds are worse in warm weather...

They're digging a hole at the end of the road where there has been a puddle since October.

Are they turning the puddle into a pond.

There is a puddle in the bottom of the hole around the pipe. Could well turn into a pond.

Or a beauty spot!

There are plenty of trees around, but the folk whose drive it attaches to would rather have a drive I think.
