Hi

Sorry I haven’t been posting much (have boring life).

The RSPCA has a ‘fair go for farm animals’ petition you can sign if anyone is interested.

Dammit

So today at work I was keeping my phone with me at all times (waiting for the phone call about the job). I needed to go to the bathroom and decided I better take it just in case – I had no pockets I so just stuck it in my bra – bad ephing idea. When I leaned forward to put toilet paper on the seat (one of my slightly obsessive compulsive tendencies when using public toilets) my phone slipped out and fell in the GD toilet. It was half submerged in the water – I needed that GD phone so I fished it out, took it apart and spent half an hour carefully cleaning each piece with wet paper towel and surgical hand wash. Luckily my sim card worked in my mum’s phone – I got the call and accepted the job, but what do I do with my phone (which is still in pieces and wrapped in paper towel in my bag)? My thrifty side says I should keep it as it’s a waste to buy a new one but the rest of me says I should throw out anything that has been in a toilet.

Well I’m pretty sure I blew that

Oh well.

I want the job now

I’m getting excited about the whole new life thing now. It will be a bit scary but I think it will be fun too. The job looks interesting and it’s a good company.

I have been looking online for places to stay and there seems like there’s a lot of friendly people out there looking for flatmates. I can’t decide if I want to leave near a train station (convenience for work), the beach or the the city.

I have a 2nd stage interview tomorrow – fingers crossed it will go well. If not, it’s back to seek.com for me.

Oh shiz shiz shiz!

So I didn’t get any calls after that job application. I went online and found a similar position and applied for that instead – the job looked good. I also thought I might as well apply for some other jobs when I was at it for some interview experience etc. I realised there was a graduate placement company which was advertising many of the jobs – they simply asked for a resume. I couldn’t be bothered writing another cover letter so I just applied for the 3 of those jobs. It’s the cover letter I use to sell myself (not much to put on the resume) and I had my heart set on the first job so I didn’t mind that application was kinda bare.

Well this graduate placement company rang me – I have been invited to an assessment day where I have to make a speech about myself. It’s only a small group I’m speaking to but it’s the company people and prospective employers. I stuttered throughout presentations to my tutorial groups where everyone was staring out the window. I was even stuttering and shaking during the phone call. I also really don’t like talking myself up to strangers – I’m the modest shy one.

I need more confidence – I thought my application was pretty bad but the guy on the phone said it looked good and that only about 40 people make it to the next stage of assesment. Maybe I’m not quite as re-re as first thought. I’m considering having a drink or 2 prior to my speech – that’s always a good confidence booster.

UPDATE: I have jury duty the day before the assesment – phuck phuck phuck. Am I not meant to have opportunities in life? I guess I’ll just have to act crazy when I get to jury duty.

I applied for a job today

I took a long time. My friend Em helped me with my resume and cover letter (thank you Em ). Now I am scared – scared they will ring me or something. I couldn’t keep putting it off though, everything at work keeps breaking down (including me) and I need to move on with life (or something).

I have decided to do my first poll:

There goes all my GD money

A little tip: Don’t invest your savings in the stockmarket – tis stupid. I guess I have hit the trifactor now – single, jobless (sortof) and poor.

Oh well, all is not bad - there is chocolate in the fridge and doggies by my side. I know I’ll always have a roof over my head. I also recently applied for a credit card – who needs cash?
