Waiting

for a phone call, to see if I have finally secured a job. I must admit I felt quite hopeful yesterday after the interview. It was a group interview and I was the least experience of the group - ie no real work experience but I knew enough about PCs for the job I was interviewing for. I know that because I passed the test they provided to be even considered for the position with flying colours. To be honest it was pretty basic stuff and things anyone with a PC should know if they are using one on a frequent basis. Anyway I thought I did OK but as the morning drags on, the more I know, its unlikely I have the job as its through a temp agency and its a simple yes or no from the company, no background checks or anything like that, but I won't give up entirely until the end of tomorrow. By then I should have heard a yes or no, I suspect.

Apart from that, the last few days have been great. All the kids were home at the weekend. Emily arrived home from Denton on Friday afternoon as she only has one class on Fridays. She hates her room-mate and to be honest, if I was in her position, I would be hard put not to say something to the girl. Apparently, she rarely showers, leaves all her trash lying around including soiled sanitary products and mopes around the room, bemoaning the fact Emily has so many friends. Fortunately, Emily is rapidly learning coping tactics and finding places to get space to work on her own, without the scowling face of her room-mate. Of course, Emily can be difficult to live with as well I am sure but the hygiene thing is bit too far.

Elisabeth came in for a few hours on Saturday to see her little sister, as graduation is rapidly approaching and she is beginning to realise that seeing her siblings might be a difficult thing to achieve in the next few years. At the moment, she is one minute panicking about her future and then the next calm about her future. I looked up a few websites for her to investigate over the weekend and Gordon went with her to the book store to get a guide on your next steps as a graduated student looking for employment. Having no success with my job search, I know its a really hard road but at least she is young and free of any ties, so she can go anywhere in the world.

Alan was working as usual this weekend so didn't get to see Elisabeth but he managed to have a fun time on Saturday night with his friends before returning to college on Sunday night.

So now I am going to the shops for something for dinner tonight and get the car registrations done. I hate thinking about dinner each day. It was hard when I was cooking for 5 plus lunch but its even harder now its for 2 plus Gordon's lunch. Must admit if I wasn't cooking for Gordon I don't think I would even bother with dinner. Thankfully I do have to cook dinner for him so that way I actually eat healthily, left to my own devices I would soon be suffering from malnutrition and be as big as a house!
