You're stringing this out deliberately...

Job interview today - this afternoon. Fingers crossed.

@LeetleGreyCells: How did it go? or did I miss that post?

If it was mixed with another distinct problem or phobia it could be a Complex complex complex complex, Or possibly a Complex complex complex with complications.

I really should go to bed or get a social life.

And leave all this behind?

No, you didn’t miss a post. I was too depressed to even comment on it when I got back. The interview (the talking part) went OK, but I’m not sure I would fit in though. One of the interviewers didn’t even bother to shake my hand before I left and didn’t seem to be bothered (did in fact make several sarcastic comments) - and she would be the one person I would be working with every single day. As for the place itself, one word sums it up: grim. They had no sense of privacy or security - I was left in a room with the name of every learner currently on programme on a large whiteboard in front of me, and there were piles of confidential paperwork piled up around the room.

What’s most depressing is that should I be offered a job there, I’ll probably accept as I’ve been trying to get a new job for 12 months now, applying and attending interviews, but no one wanting to take me on. Should I be offered a job and accept, it won’t stop me sending new applications off. In fact, it would be a great incentive to apply far more often!

Like many on this forum, I’m an introvert. So when the employer was telling me about all the ‘fun social activities’ they do out of work, I was cringing inside. Especially when she said that all the staff go and nobody misses.

Apologies for the long, whinging post. I feel like I’m between a rock and a hard place, and the gap between both is getting smaller and smaller.

I find out after next Wednesday if they want me in for a taster session for a few hours.

Just back from watching the Downton Abbey film. It was truly dreadful, but Mrs S liked it, so that's all that matters.
I managed to stay awake. Just.

I have just got the fire going.

Where to, if you don't mind?

Where to, if you don't mind?

The fireplace, as per usual

Anyways, I'm starting to wilt, so going to toodle pipski for tonight.

Morning.
There is weather out there this morning. I haven't yet decided what it is doing yet.
I was hoping to go to Castle Combe circuit to watch some historic car racing on Saturday but they keep altering the weather.
It looks like it will be a repeat of last year's wet grey day.

Time to head home

To be honest I dread social activities here as they generally involve going out to get hammered, not my thing

Fingers crossed something will come along soon

I think our local TV just said that Marcos cars started off in Bradford on Avon 70 years ago before moving to Westbury .
