Friday!
So just giving you guys a run down on my Friday.
I had two job interviews both in completely different area codes so I was keeping my fingers crossed I could get back in time to attend the second one. I took the day off from puppy-sitting to attend them. Also this is the first time I have had to style my new pixie hair cut and to be fair I am not the greatest person at being a girl. I have grown up with five brothers and am a tad tomboyish. That does not mean I look like a man. (just to clarify.)
The day started off the only way a day like this could. It was pouring down with rain and I don't mean drizzle, I mean literal torrential rain. To get to the first job interview I had to make three changes and get three different trains. By the time I made it to the end station my trousers were soaked and sticking to me. Thankfully they were black so that noone could see the wet.
When I reached the place we were forced to wait for over fifteen minutes in the most awkward silence of my whole entire life. To be fair the reception area was beautiful, it had stunning charcoal grey coloured marble floors and was very minimalist.
Once we got into the interview (which was a group interview with 11 other people.) All I can tell you is, that it was an hour and half of something I can only describe as daunting and cerebral. The woman who ran it was frightfully assertive (a little like a military drill instructor) she instructed us to tell the group about our selves. Afterwards we had to write down information we could remember from the previous people's disclosures. Then because for some reason their tills do not work out change, she gave us quick fire maths calculations which gave us literally two seconds to work out the answer. (which was really hard) Then at the end of this whole thing, she didn't say goodbye or anything she just got up and left the room.
Thankfully I made a friend and she gave me a lift to the train station preventing me from having to trudge 28 mins in the torrential rain. (I was so ridiculously thankful)
By the time I made it to my second train I realized there was no time to go home so I may as well kill fifteen mins in the comic book shop before attending my second interview. As always when I step inside that store I can not help but spent money (even though I really shouldn't) I came out with three Manga books and two comics!
I got to my interview in the bar of a gorgeous hotel and the people were so lovely. I got on really well with them and we had a laugh. In the end they gave me two free tickets to ride the Big Wheel in Liverpool. Unfortunately I hate Ferris Wheels, like severely hate them so I am giving the tickets away to my bro and his gf for a date.
Anyway on the way home I got completely soaked, the torrential rain got worse and even my hooded coat couldn't protect me. Of course on the way home, there was rail replacement drama but thankfully I managed to get home. By that time I was beyond soaked, like even my underwear was soaked. I changed into my jammies and spent the rest of the day reading comics!
I found out a few hours later that I didn't get the first job (which I was kinda thankful for because it was a little scary.) The second job I will find out about next week so Yay!
