I have a job interview tomorrow. I have already okayed my disappearance from the office at 4pm tomorrow with my temporary "team leader" who has also offered me advice on what to wear (Shirt, High Heels & if possible a Suit).
I now just have to get over the jitters - I managed to survive the phone interview. So surely I can survive the face to face interview right?
It sounds like a nice job - one I could happily turn up to every day without too much complaint. It's also a day job that starts at 9.30am every day! I might actually get time to have breakfast in the morning before I leave the house....
But then I shouldnt get ahead of myself. I have to get through the job interview first and see what happens from there.

What an exciting life I lead....
I am bored out of my skull.
I wish I could say that was an exaggeration - but my brain is actually pressing on the back of my head in an attempt to escape.
It's causing a boredom headache as a side-effect of it's bid for freedom.
I have no work. I've done it all. No one has any work to give me (because they're all bored out of their skulls too and are trying to preserve whatever work they have for themselves).
One manager will probably give me the most horrible assignment on the face of the planet this afternoon to try and complete in record time...but other than that the days and weeks ahead are looking empty and dull.
On the upside...my company is being taken over in 2 months time, and I really cannot follow on to it's new location (my family were trying to convince me to move to the new office - until they actually saw how far away it really is. Can I say I told you so?). Given that I have to provide 4 weeks notice, it looks like I will be handing in my resignation in the next few weeks. At least that will end the boredom right?
To top that all off - I have no alternative job prospects. I have applied for several jobs and have not heard a single thing back from any of them.
Today I have submitted my resume at my old company (NO I'm not silly enough to apply for a phone job - it's for a Data Co-ordinator, NO phone work required). So maybe given my previous work history etc I might get that.
Here's hoping - because I have just signed up to complete a Certificate in Professional Writing & Editing (cost: $1,000) and those who are close to me or who have heard the horror story I am now in the process of getting a root canal (cost: $1,200). So unemployment is not really an option!

New Years Resolutions?
I dont have any New Years Resolutions.
None that I consciously made - just going to continue my effort to get healthier, to lose the extra weight I've put on and to figure out my future.
Surely this doesnt seem too hard?
Certain parts of my life are set and I know where I'm headed in that regard - I've got the romance side of things relatively covered. Just have to work on the rest of the life ahead.
Mainly what am I going to be doing during business hours to support my need for food, clothing & DVDs?
