Down down down
The skies have been a little bleak lately - and I'm not just talking about the weather. I recently had a job interview (HR Assistant) that completely devastated the slim skeleton of my self-confidence and I'm now clawing my way back to...
.. some kind of hopeful existence, I guess.
I have been thinking a lot about writing, which, of course, is not the same thing as actually writing but at least I'm working on something in my head.
Felix is good. She's a big girl. She can stack blocks really well and loves her 'moonies' (movies), especially anything with a bear or a dog in it. I just got her Potty Time with Bear in the Big Blue House - jumping the gun? Probably. She's not even 17 months yet but I figure a video won't scare her away and might plant that seed of curiosity.
Back to the interview thing. I sucked. I had actually prepared for this interview, thought about what questions they might ask and considered my answers. But I lost all confidence. I was so nervous and I forgot to feel good and proud about who I am and what I've accomplished.
I've thought of ways to rectify this in future, of course, besides the ongoing process of bucking myself up. Still, I would have been great at this job and I've not seen anything else out there that really comes close to it in terms of a good career opportunity - not in Aberdeen and certainly not in Dundee.
I know, I know, it could always be worse. I just feel that I've let myself down.
PS. Once again, anyone who's interested should go visit my political blog http://unevenground.blogspot.com - more topical whining.
