I have a major interview coming up, on Friday, which is quite exciting. It's for a job at Tesco trying to forecast demand.

I gave up on going into work today and intead went into the center of town to stroll around in the Sunlight and do some shopping. I didn't find what I was looking for, although I got some more Last Exile anime. I think getting out was a good move, because I feel more relaxed ( Read more... )

Today I went into the center of town to do some shopping for various small things, of which I succeeded in getting about half of what I wanted, which I don't think is bad ( Read more... )
