Things change in an instant
It's so strange. I had nothing for months. Not even a whisper of an interview in January. But now things are really turning around.
Last week was so stressful. But at the same time it was great to finally have a bit of excitement. I had two interviews. One was for a company called Exova in Edinburgh on Tuesday, and the other was was a company called Onyx Chemicals in Sunderland. Sunderland! Or course I was going to go to the Edinburgh one but I had serious issues with the one in Sunderland. When I applied for it I thought it's not so far away. But then me and Ben were looking at the buses and it was saying it was like a four hour journey away. I was really torn about going. Paula and Liz said I should just go and IF I get it I can decide then. But my mum said well are you prepared to move down there? Because there's no point in going if you're sure you don't want to live there. Gah!
Went to the one in Edinburgh and (i think) it went well. Will I get the job? Who knows. Keep your fingers crossed for me. After my job interview in Edinburgh I met Taylor and Paula for dinner at the China Buffet King. Always good to have a nice wee chat and talk my worries over with the girls. Then after that (busy day eh?) I went home and went to pick up my new chinchilla. Her name is Chilli and she's beautiful. Ever since Dory died I really missed having one so I was really over the moon to get her. It was such a sin, her first night here she was crying because she missed her home! She's still shy but much happier now. Will post pictures soon :)
I ended up not going to the interview in Sunderland. I was disappointed in myself for not being strong enough to go. But it was for the best. It would be tough leaving behind my family and friends but I could do it if I really really had to. I know myself and I know I could never leave Ben behind. Not being able to have a kiss and a cuddle would just be too much for me. Thursday was a good wee day anyway. Went shopping for bridesmaid dresses with the Bowies and had hunners of sponges shoved down my back haha. What can I say, I've always loved dressing up so it was a blast! :D
The weekend was pretty standard. Cinema to see Wolfman (don't recommend it) then pub for a wee bit. Sunday I hung out with Benji all day and got chinese we watched Pandorum (highly recommend it)
This week brings interview for a position of polymer technician on Tuesday (tomorrow eep!) and an informal chat with Bardyke chemicals on Thursday. The polymer technician company makes vaginal inserts! Lmao SERIOUSLY! Knowing me that will be the job I get haha. If all else fails and I don't get any of the jobs I interviewed for then I'm starting back my dads work on Monday the 1st March. Yes I left it because I fucking hated it and I don't regret leaving it tbh (oh and I would have got let go at christmas anyway because they let all the temps go) but I'm glad I did. It gave me time to get out hunners of applications and hopefully if this barrage of interviews continues I'll get something soon. I'm just fucking sick of being poor. Sooooo fucking sick of feeling guilty because I bought an 8.00 shirt out of Primark! And with this I can at least pay for my Download ticket and a nice wee trip to Blackpool or Alton Towers or whatever else is going.
Ok time to stop procrastinating. I have to study lots for my interview and then I have a stupid adult literacy assignment to hand in tomorrow which I haven't even started yet. Peace x
