Well after not thinking I'd make it to the interview I did :D The girl I saw was lovely and confirmed I have a job interview next Friday...yay!! She also told me she'd put two other people forward and I'm the strongest candidate of the three which is always nice to know. So got lots of company swotting to do. Still waiting to hear about the really fab job and the one I interviewed for on Tuesday.
Oh Noes!!
I've been awake for half an hour, I need to leave my house at 3 to go for an interview....I have mad hair and need a shower and instead of getting on I'm sat here blogging. Hmmmmm. Not good!!
I've been having the strangest dreams lately about someone who I thought I'd got out of my head but they're still there, I don't think it helps that I was talking to them on Saturday night about stuff and it's left me thinking. To be honest I wish they'd fuck off out of my head.

:(
Having a slightly rubbish day today. Oh the joys of being a woman...men have it easy!! Feel kinda guilty cos I cancelled my plans with Lee today but I just couldn't leave the house. Don't worry I'm not going anymore crazy than I usually am but at the moment it's crazy with a hint of anger. Normal (well, normal for me) services will be resumed shortly.
On a positive note I have two followers now, welcome to the dark side...we have cookies :)
My mum, bless her, has bought me the Ashes to Ashes boxset from amazon. I sent her the link to the fic I've been writing and she's hoping it will encourage me to write some more. I really think I should now but we'll see. I kinda fell into writing the fic, I'd been reading a lot of the fabulous stuff on fanfiction.net and got inspired. Maybe I need to read some more fic to get the ol' juices flowing.
I've got an interview with an agency tomorrow at 4pm which is always fun. I just hope they don't ask me to do a typing test since I'm still not used to these nail extensions. Tis my own fault, if I hadn't bitten my nails so much they wouldn't have looked so bad that I ended up having to have extensions to make them look decent.
The interview yesterday was a disaster. On the letter it said 'an initial, informal interview' and it just wasn't. I answered three pages of A4 questions while the panel of interviewers were scribbling away. I'd had an hours sleep the night before and they had said they were seeing a lot of candidates so I won't know if I've got through to the next stage of interviews until the start of next week.
My friend has just text me something which has amused me and so I'm going to share it with you:
Some random facts...
An elephant shits half it's weight in 2 days
A mans penis is three times the length of his thumb
2 multiplied by 2 equals for
A woman would have finished reading this by now, but a man would still be checking the size of his thumbs
And now another friend has just text me, lucky cow is off to Sri Lanka for 3 weeks at the end of this month. I'm still hopeful she'll pack me in her suitcase but if not the I'm definately going to need a job because I need to go on holiday. Get away from the shithole that Leeds is and just chill out. Hopefully I'll be going to Cuba with my mate Jo and her beautiful little boy Oliver in October but things are never guarenteed so I'll wait and see.
So if by any chance a rich millionaire is reading this blog...fancy helping a girl out with a bit of Sun, sea and sand??

Hmmm
Why am I not tired?? I have had an hours sleep thanks to interview jitters. I completely and totally screwed up aforementioned interview.
I'm not in a blogging mood tonight :(

Interview Jitters
As above, I have some major interview jitters at the moment. I can't pinpoint exactly why I feel so out of sorts but I do.
It's for a company I've temped for in the past so the interview should be a breeze but I kept in touch with a few of my work mates from there and one of them mentioned about 28 people had applied for the job openings. I'm just hoping I'll measure up. OK, it's not exactly convenient, it's the next city over and it's a long commute to and from work but any job is better than no job.
You can tell my head state is bad when the music that usually makes me want to have a boogie isn't working.
Not done a lot today really. Managed to get my new iPod set up which is pretty cool...I have music on my laptop!!! Didn't get my nails done, the girl had to cancel so getting them done tomorrow instead, I apologise for any typos in my blog tomorrow night (well tonight now I guess)as I'll be typing with nice long nails!
Suppose I should go get some sleep sooner rather than later, I need to be up at 6am...eek!

Sunday Night Blues
Well the first full week of 2009 is now coming to a close. I wonder how many people have already broken their resolutions?
I didn't really make any resolutions this year. In fact the only one I've made is to get a job *hopefully* before February. So in that hope I've been whoring myself around agencies, making my CV sound much more impressive than it actually is, printing off reams of information from the Inland Revenue and then trying to stuff as much of the info into my poor, tired brain as I can so it looks like I know what I'm talking about when I go for interviews.
The problem is, there are so many different forms used in Payroll, you have a split second to rack your brains trying to remember which is which.
At the moment I'm attempting to live, breathe, eat and sleep the job. I've been put forward for a fantastic job at a wonderful company and the starting salary isn't to be sniffed at! I not only need to prove my skills as a whizz at Payroll but I also need to show the company that it is my life at the moment and that even though I do have other things in the pipeline, the company appear to want someone who is a sycophant!
As well as job hunting, I'm also recovering after surgery before Christmas. It wasn't anything too drastic and I feel about 90% normal again. So trying to take things easy as well as madly looking for a job...not a good mix me thinks.
I've got a reasonably busy week this week. Getting my nails done tomorrow as recently I seem to have bitten mine to buggery, I have an interview at a company I worked for previously as a temp at 8.30am on Tuesday and meeting a friend for gossip and coffee on Wednesday. Plus I also need to have time to study up on Payroll info/Company info and be available for interview if any should come up.
Anyone on my twitter, will have seen that I tweeted I'm very proud of someone at the moment, that person would be my Mum. She got very, very good marks on an assignment.

Oooops!
I've not blogged for ages!!
This is a crime so appalling, I should be shot! You'd think since I hadn't blogged for a while I'd actually have something interesting to post for whoever (if anyone) is actually reading this blog but I don't...
I'm working on writing something completely original, so watch this space.
I'm still twenty-something and still single so not that much has changed in that respect. I'm desperately job hunting at the moment.
I'm really struggling with what to write, think I need to do some Daily Meme's to get the juices flowing...if you pardon the pun....
