Mixed feelings about Monday.
So yesterday was like a roller-coaster, with a couple of highs and one big drop at the end.
I had a job interview yesterday at a fire sprinkler company I'd applied at just over two weeks ago for a receptionist position. I got a call from the human resources lady on Friday to say that they'd loved my CV were really interested in my 5 years experience in the industry but instead of the receptionist job there was a position available for a contracts administrator (which is exactly what I did for the 5 years) and she'd passed my CV internally to that manager and her wanted to interview me on Monday.
The interview went really well I got on well with the resources lady and I don't think I came over too OMG I <3 ADMIN which I've done before at interviews, the interview part I spent with the man who would be my manager I'm not so sure about. She'd warned me he could be very upfront and loud and say what he thinks but whilst he was interviewing me he was actually pretty quiet and reserved and very hard to read, so I'm not entirely sure how I did with him but I hope it was good. I'll hear back by Friday at the earliest and Monday by the latest, just got to sit on my hands and wait now.
I came home and had a few hours to spare so I changed my layout to a Lie To Me one not because I don't still love Merlin but just because at the moment I love LTM, its an awesome show.
Then I headed into town because I was meeting Amy and Jen for dinner and then an old friend from high school called Maz who is...yeah, a lot weird. She's always spoken really quietly and on the telephone its creepy, also shes a bit psycho about her exs but other than that generally nice. But I had a really good time because I met Amy first and we went into a pub for a drink and a chat before Jen came to meet us, I'm not sure knows how much I like it when its just the two of us, I do get slightly possesive over her which is maybe a little weird but she's been my best friend for 21 years in September so any time just us I do enjoy more. Though saying that when Jen joined us and we went to dinner that was good and even when Maz joined later she didn't bring the crazy at all so it was nice to chat to her as well.
...and so to the big drop that really upset me. When I came home I asked about my Nan and how she was as she had to go to the eye hospital that afternoon and actually everything went okay and she's fine but then my Mum goes 'but your Dad has something bad to tell you' which wasn't going to be good but Mum can be a bit overdramatic sometimes so I wasn't actually that prepared to hear that the old lady who lives one door over called Edith fell down a couple of days ago and had a stroke, she was lying there for three days until her daughter came to visit and found her where she was taken to hospital and she died.
Apart from it being very sad generally when things like that happen what really upsets me is I was sleeping while she was lying there, we were going about our life while she was helpless, I actually walked past her door the other day when a few feet inside it she would have been desperate for help. We have a lot of older people down our road and some really sweet ones and we try to check that they're okay, especially in Winter but now I'm going to be worrying about all of them, maybe even the mean ones. Life can be so depressing.
Plus it's raining, again, it's meant to be August!!!
