There is no particular reason for the Regina icon, I just felt like using it.
Okay so... interview. Or informal chat covering the whereabouts of St. Ives Methodist church, how pyramids were built and when I'm intending to go to Japan, if you want to be more accurate ^_^;;
I showed up, was made tea, discussed pyramids with the Senior PA and did a spelling test (19/20 which just makes me wonder which one I got wrong...). I had a audio typing test for which my results were less than stunning for the simple reason that I've only ever done one of those once before and that was back in July (and it was a darn sight easier than the one this morning too) and then there was the interview. Or the casual chat that occasionally had something to do with work, whatever you want to call it. It went... okay? I don't know, it's hard to be sure when you don't feel like you were asked anything complicated. I'm fairly sure I came across as confident, relaxed, competent, intelligent and all the rest of it, but how do you judge?
In other words - anything could happen. They were only interviewing one other person (a woman, also "of the same calibre" as me according to my interviewer so my guess is that it'll all come down to the way we've presented ourselves) and I should find out tomorrow... yeah I'm keeping my fingers crossed ^_^ I know that if I do get it, I'm going to be terrified for the first few weeks days and have loads and loads to learn... but on the other hand, I need a challenge -_-
And after that I went to work I felt sick, hid in the toilets of the BM&AG for a few minutes, tried to talk myself into going to work, got as far as the gift shop, saw Mum (who was there entirely on a whim and honestly hadn't intended to be) and took it as a divine hint that I should just call in sick and be done with it. So I did. By the time I'd finished talking to mother (and drinking tea) I felt a little more normal, but I definitely needed this afternoon to pull myself back together again. That and my knees and hips really are aching now. And my thighs. In fact I'm probably falling apart. So I'm going to go to bed... right now XP
