Well what a fiasco the fancy dress party was. I couldn't find a fancy dress outfit as I had left it far too late, so the host insisted that it didn't matter, it was 'no biggie'. People weren't making much effort apparently, so I decided it was better that I went than stay at home. As soon as I got there I knew I had made the wrong decision. I didn't know anyone and I was the only one not in fancy dress. Anyway, I don't want to dwell on it, but believe me it was terrible. So I started knocking back the drinks, which was the 2nd bad idea of the night. I've changed so much from my student days when I could drink so much and be alright, but I have become such a lightweight. So, to not go into too much detail as I am quite ashamed, I was sick. Alot. Moving on...
I went for the interview and really enjoyed it, the headteacher that interviewed me was really cool and I would really have enjoyed working there, but I had already decided I wouldn't be able to work there. On a good day it would take me and hour and a quarter to get there, but I would have to go on the northern line which is a baaaad tubeline. Considering at the moment I have a 20 minute walk to work or 5 minute bus ride. I was right to be worried about the salary too- I would only get paid 33 hours a week, 39 weeks a year.
But, it was nice to get offered the job, I felt awful having to turn them down but I am sure they will find someone excellent. Although I am worried that it may be my only chance of finding a job I like. Best carry on with job hunting I guess.
