I’m going to keep adding to this one today, but for starters,

“what’s survived?”

“how do you write (real name of Small)?”

[oh, and I’ve had the call, as expected, I’m not strong enough technically for the interview yesterday. Where did I put that drawing board?]

No more questions to add. Instead we’ve just had a stormer of a tantrum, lasting nearly an hour. Now I have a headache 🙁

I will now – wash up.

put the washing on.

get the washing in (if dry).

deal with the table.

feed the offspring lunch.

take some paracetamol.

not necessarily in that order.

It’s a shame about the tantrum – we’d had a lovely morning. Lazy wake up cuddles in bed, she’d been playing with her barbie and some hair bobbles and playing a guessing game with me, Small was just pottering around. I was really enjoying myself, and I thought she was too. 🙁

  1. I’m sorry to hear that. It’s pants being ‘rejected’.

  2. Hey – you are technically more than good enough for me! Shame I can’t pay you for being you really. Ah well, we will all be rich and famous one day, well, rich would do it. Actually, just well enough off would do me.

  3. I cannot believe these companies! Why do they bother wasting your time, surely they could have worked that out from a cv? Sorry to hear that news, Jax 🙁

    Sorry about the job, hope the headache has gone.

  5. sorry about the job, sorry about the tantrum.
    having a hard day here for no particular reason. can’t wait to see you soon and drink wine to commiserate properly…

  6. sorry about the job 🙁

  7. Sarah, no you definitely can’t work it out from what employers should treat as puff pieces (the over-inflated CV). As Jax’s experience yesterday shows, interviews aren’t actually terribly reliable indicators either way either. But spending a few weeks building a team’s relationships isn’t exactly practical.

  8. sorry about the job. commiserating with a glass of limoncino!
    Also sorry about the day – i don’t know why days of promise can unravel so quickly!

  9. It improved again. I shall blog. 😉

  10. Oh dear about the blog. Obviously the Universe has something much nicer for you which isn’t quite ready yet.
