Honest, there isn't that much to say about me
I've not got anything to do today, apart from one thing. But considering that one thing is a nerve wreaking experience then I don't much feel like putting myself through anything else to say the least.
You see yesterday I submitted my CV for a job, I got a very prompt phonecall back from the people and we arranged an interview for today, 2pm.
It's just a part time job, but it would provide enough cash for a little pocket change and will get me out of the house for a couple of days a week. It's within cycling distance too, which is even better - and to top it off will nicely fill the inevitable gap in my CV whilst I'm deciding when and what it is I want to do on a more permanent basis.
I thought I was doing quite well up until about noon, then the old nerves kicked in, which is madness considering a) I don't really need to take the job and b) compared to what I was doing previously the job would be quite rewarding. But nonetheless, I feel sick and I've got sweaty mits - fantastic.
Anyway, the interview time comes - it lasts for about 1h 20 mins, and I think about 30 minutes of that is actually talking about my technical skills, the rest of it is general chit chat about the pit falls of running an IT business, The Hitch Hickers Guide to the Galaxy and the intricacies of liaising between IT and Marketing. I also get a tour of their current business clients and their systems, which for a start up company is impressive.
So in summary I think the interview went OK. The fella was really nice and if they offer the job there would be the chance of further hours should I want them. Not only that, the offices they are based in are really laid back (the kinda place you can take your pet in should you wish to). But for now, its a case of wait and see.
This evening is nice and quiet, with sausages and mash for tea. But instead of plain old mash I stick some fried onions in it and some whole grain mustard, which zinged it up quite nicely.

Good luck on the job. It sounds like an interesting place to be, although I'm not sure what kind of work you would be doing there (not that it matters ;>).

Good luck with the job.
(ps next time add some lemon zest to the mash)
