I had given up hope of hearing about that job offer. But the woman spoke to me yesterday, said she was talking to the boss today and will let me know. It’s “in the pipeline”. I’m eager to leave my current position. The petty rules, regulations and workflow are getting worse. We’re going to be [...]

WOF time

Well that was an expensive Warrant of Fitness. I’d bought a couple of new tyres before the test because I knew they were borderline so that was 200 dollars before I even went for the test. The car failed its test due to a non-working fog light. “If you have them, they have to work, [...]
I hate mowing the lawn

I really should pay someone to do it. I couldn’t breathe after doing the front. All that dried grass and seed flying around and having to empty the stupid catcher after each rotation.

The head of that department came to see me again yesterday. She said the boss was back and that she’ll have a talk and get back to me next week. She said the position they’ll offer me will be hard work and one that’s under development and said again ‘it will look good on your [...]

Time for chores

The neglected garden and lawn await but first thing that needs doing is the removal of a pesky branch which scrapes and bangs against my bedroom in the wind.The wedding was lovely. The original weather forecast of cloud and rain, then cloud, was, thankfully, incorrect. It was a hot sunny day under a blue sky. [...]
Interview over

It’s the “give us an example when…” questions which get me. I tried planning for the interview but when you’re on the spot the mind goes blank. Oh well. Turns out there are more than three people being interviewed. No idea who the other people are. The person within the department is desperate for the [...]

I thought I had after those 23 entries but no – four more today. I wonder what the IQ of that person is (I’m sure it’s the same one) – in the negative, I imagine.
I have a job interview tomorrow. The day before I left for Auckland I found out about a job vacancy in [...]
