Bah

So, I didn’t get the job. Going to call tomorrow and speak to them to find out why not. Although I was expecting it, I was still pretty gutted. Had a quick cry, and now I am a little more pragmatic. Applied for one today, and got an application to do tomorrow morning, and then Blur in the evening.

Hrumph. A little disappointed.

Keep me blogging!

Give me a topic to blog on, ask me a question - save the three days I am at Latitude, I am going to try and blog daily in July…

Speed updating

I keep starting entries and then not finishing them. So, I have given myself 10 minutes to write an update, and then it will be posted.

- It’s really, really hot. We made lollies today. Orange juice for James and Pimms for me. I also want to try some Gin and Tonic ones, some iced tea and iced coffee ones and some rose spritzer ones.

- I’m still unemployed. I’ve had an interview, but not hard anything, almost 2 weeks later, so not too hopeful at this point. Oh well. I’ve applied for several jobs this week - I went through a stage of applying for everything, and not getting anywhere - probably because I didn’t really want the jobs and so I don’t think I was really bothering that hard. I’m going through jobs now though, and only applying for things I want.

- I’ve been knitting and stuff, and it’s good.

- I have a new domain that stuff will be moving too shortly.

- I’ve watched up to the end of Season Three of House. Need to get some more…

- We’re going to Brighton on Saturday :-D

- I got flashed by a speed camera, going way over the limit. Not heard anything yet, but am still within the period where I might. Bums. Annoyed, because it’s utterly my fault. I don’t have a problem with speed cameras and parking fines and the like - I mean, I was in the wrong, if I don’t want to pay the fine, I should observe the parameters set.

- I am thinking about going vegetarian. Meat and fish. This needs more thought though. Mostly prompted by some swanky bacon I bought, which was tasty as, but trumpeted how it’s pigs had access to clean bedding and water. This shouldn’t be a selling point, it should be a given. I do have a fair amount of meat in the freezer already though, so will eat through that whilst thinking some more.

- Also pondering going back to Uni to retrain as a midwife. Again, this needs more investigation and thought.

- Blur on Friday night! Latitude in a couple of weeks!

Okay. Ten minutes are up. Any questions? I am around on Twitter a lot more - add me!
