Interview

Bedecked in the Cheap Suit, yesterday I went back into the depths of wildest Lincolnshire for my second interview.  I had a look around the factory which was really interesting – the process looks fairly simple and easy to manage as it is very automated and the systems they have in place look fine.
Once again I dealt [...]

Today’s the day…

 
… of the second interview.
I have checked over my checklist and all appears to be in order. I have washed my hair, filed my nails to a neat and tidy length and turned my monobrow into two separate entities, one above each eye, as is the usual arrangement.

Mothers’ Day

A very happy Mothers’ Day to all the Mums (and, especially for BabiesEverywhere, Mums-to-Be) out there. I hope you all had a lovely day.
I woke up to a bunch of tulips, some chocolate and a teddybear from my beautiful daughter, aided and abetted by Daddy of course! Sadly I didn’t get a lie in and [...]

Gizza job! I can do that!

Yesterday I finished work early, went home, donned the Cheap Suit and a bit of lippy and went for a job interview with a local pet food manufacturer.  They are looking for someone to a assist with their product development, factory quality assurance, product specifications and label copy.  The site is in the middle of Lincolnshire’s vast [...]

Salad dodgin’

I’m really getting pissed off now at how slowly my weight loss is going, ie so slowly that it’s at a standstill or even occasionally in reverse.  When you have a lot to lose it’s supposed to fall off really quickly at first, right?  Not in my case it would seem.
