Turgid Tuesday
My new theory: working lunchtimes are a form of parole. It is such a relief to get out of the orifice.
PART I:
I think the honeymoon is over. My email box is filling faster than I can delete ‘em – always a good indicator of where you’re at. I have crossed the bridge that you get to just after you think you can do everything. You get that feeling of resignation, resigned to the fact that it’s all too complicated, too hard, too much. Who cares? It’s only England. It’s not like it’s my coastline, my kids aren’t going to see it. Some people get so worked up...
All the same, a bloody good challenge. Got my interview for the old ‘line manager’s’ job in about half an hour. Still haven’t decided if I want it. I think I could help. The extra £5k would help me too. Have to do a presentation on ‘Sustainable communities’ – what are they? Exactly.
PART II:
What’s up with two-part interview questions that are so long, you forget the first half?
Interview went well, was totally honest with them about my experience etc…will be managing three people eventually. I told them I was keen to do it if they wanted me…?? I can always quit. There were some questions I just couldn’t answer – first time I’ve ever been totally stumped, they were technical questions about English legislation requirements etc…I’m sure they knew I didn’t know. Managed to sum it all up pretty well at the end I thought.
Thing is…would be managing the woman in the orifice who is REALLY annoying. Admittedly I have started getting on better with her, and can now understand her. She’s still a mile a minute and wont take no for an answer. Would also be sitting in with my flattie, same office…could be a little too cosy.
