Interview

I've had an interview for a job today as a PA to an Architect - it went quite well, but I'm not overly sure if I'm the type of person he wants. Seems he deals with rather well to do clients who own large manor houses and the like and deals with people like the National Trust helping them to restore old buildings to their former glory. A consequence of which I'm sure he's looking for more of a matronly person to deal with the clients if you know what I mean. But we'll wait and see what happens.

After my interview I then pop home to get out of my interview clobber and then head on out to town to pick up a fathers day card, which I sadly lack to do. I then go over to the Pet superstore to pick up a few initial bits for Rupert such as some toys, a collar and lead and feeding bowls and then to Halfords to get some screen wash for the cars. As I'm doing that the sky look very laden with rain, and ignoring my better judgement I head on into Oxford to see if I have better luck on the fathers day card and hopefully to pick up some sort of present for my dad too.

It rained all the way into Oxford and for most of the time that I was there, which when you're dressed in summer clothes and flip flops isn't perhaps a wonderful idea :) Nevermind, I get a card and a pressy and also manage to pick up some wax sticks for Phil and also some of his favourite cookies and then wind my way home.

By the time I get home there really isn't that much left of the afternoon so I knuckle down and get on with a few house chores that needed to be done, today I've got my sights on cleaning the kitchen floor since it's minging and really could do with a bit of attention.

I've then got most of the evening to myself as Phil is working late again, but when he gets home he has a go at fixing our server by replacing the PSU which we think was causing the problem - however it appears that this is not the problem part afterall, and after unplugging everything and testing various combinations we think that maybe it's the motherboard that has gone. The problem with this is that a replacement may well be hard to find since the server is quite old and getting a motherboard that is compatible with the case, hard drives and CPU etc could turn end up in being a witch hunt all by itself.
