I've decided to take the crappy job at Yeo Valley. It's probably the worst kind of work I can be in but it's money. I need proof of employment to get a loan out of the bank and keep a roof over my head, not to mention a new car. Not the best situation but the only acceptable way I can see out of this right now. I'm waiting for the HR woman at Yeo ( Read more... )

I don't know what else to do. I've already heard back from the interview I had this morning - they don't wish to take your application any further. I passed all the tests but apparently during the formal interview there was a lack of interest (on my part ( Read more... )

Far too tired to write a proper entry even though I'm bursting to rant about today. I started back at Clerical - in the contact centre. Except I actually worked (and I use the term loosely as all I did was listen in to 3 phonecalls) for about 4 hours then was sent home because they didn't have anything else for me to do. But I did confirm what I ( Read more... )

Waiting all day for one phone call completely blows.

No, they haven't called about the job yet. Sent an email to the agency around lunchtime and got this reply -

I won't hear till later no today.

Ill give you a call when  know

ThanksThat's verbatim by the way - no "Hi", not even decent grammar ( Read more... )

Today was exhausting. Sitting down for 7 hours has never been so hard ( Read more... )

Ugh. Spending all afternoon photocopying when the office is 80+ degrees is not a good idea. Glad I'm not going to be spending the summer there. Stupid badly-designed building where the people downstairs freeze while each floor above is increasingly stifling. *shakes fist*

Go Ahead! Strawberry yohurt breaks are my new crack. "Lower fat" they tell ( Read more... )

Things are changing. Fast. These are the times that you really want to be able to document and look back on but.. you never have enough time. I've had a couple of emails and comments I'd really like to reply to but my head is a whirlwind at the moment and I'm trying to concentrate on the things that really matter right now ( Read more... )

Made it into work. Had a hideous day with plentiful pain and constant paranoia. I've been getting increasingly sensitive to the team's mood recently and had myself convinced everyone hated me for some reason I couldn't figure out. But I really must learn to appreciate that everyone has their 'off' moments just as I do (if probably much less so than ( Read more... )

Procrastination before work sucks. Today we have a meeting with the manager - a whole hour for him to sit there and bullshit us about how he can't tell us anything official about the end of our contracts, all because he can't have anyone leaving as we're coming up to a rather important deadline at work. I could be surprised but for now I'll carry ( Read more... )

I'm back earlier than I thought I'd be. Dave wanted to get home before it got too dark. Lots of windy, dark country lanes with plenty of bike-blind people in the 30 miles between here and there so understandable. We had a good chat but it seemed far too short and now I have the rest of the evening sat here in the cold watching my hands go blue. Meh ( Read more... )
