I'm not going to be around much this weekend. I'm visiting my parents for my dad's birthday and I really just want to take a step back from everything and relax for a couple of days.

I'm totally freaking out about the speed at which everything is happening. Dave has now been offered a job and is looking at £23-25 an hour.

It went something like this

2pm: Submit job application
2:05: Get phone call to arrange interview
4pm: Have interview
4:15: Interview ends
5pm: Job offer

I mean it's exciting, but kind of terrifying too and at the moment my brain is just having difficulty processing everything.

Also, I find it amusing that if you do what I'm doing for a clerical or admin job you're called a temp. If you're doing something technical you're an 'independant contractor' LOL!

So, that's what I'll be doing but for a long term contract (assuming they offer me a job of course). At the moment they're saying a year at minimum. I work with several contractors at the moment and they all say it's brilliant if you're single with no ties. Even if I only do it for a few years it'll allow me to pay off most of my residual student debt, buy a car and start saving a deposit so I can look into buying a house at a later date

Exiting but terrifying, like I said

So, yeah, I need to just hide for a couple of days and process everything (and I still need to watch last weeks SV and SPN before I watch the finale episodes)

Have a good weekend everyone

The job I was being interviewed for has been filled and no one bothered to tell me I wouldn't be getting an interview until I asked.

Aparently some more jobs are being released in a week so she's going to forward my CV for those.
