Argh!

I forgot my smart interview shoes. Argh! I'm going to have to pop into town and see if I can find a cheap pair.

The recruitment agent rang me this morning to wish me good luck and ask if I needed anything. He told me it was just going to be a conversational interview so there wasn't much in the way of prep for me to do.

I'm actually more nervous about driving out into the middle of nowhere than I am about the interview itself. LOL

Well, must crack on.

Well, that was a fucking nightmare!

I should learn to trust my gut instincts

Yesterday evening I said to Mum-Ra 'Oh, I must get the breakdown number off you because I really don't want to break down in the middle of nowhere'

Yes, you've guessed it. About 5 miles from my destination I blew a tyre. It freaked me the hell out!

Needless to say I missed the interview. They must be keen to see me though as they asked if I wanted to reschedule for tomorrow. When I said no they said they'd see me in the New Year.

Now I must praise our public funded services. I waved down three cars, all of whom ignored me. Eventually a Royal Mail van stopped and the postie kindly let me use his mobile (I had no signal on mine)

Not long after that a Police van drove past and stopped to check I was ok. Not only did they stay with me until the breakdown van came, they let me sit in their warm car and one of the policemen rang where I was going to tell them what had happened.

Everyone was so kind and it made an awful experience just about bearable.

Now I'm going to head back to York and have a stiff drink!

Happy Meme Day 3

In spite of my awful day I have lots of things to be happy about

1. The kindness of strangers.

2. jacqui_hw had wine, biscuits and chocolate waiting for me when I got home. I don't think I mention enough how awesome she is. Did I tell you that on Saturday she ordered us pizza and timed it so it arrived 5 minutes before Merlin started so I wouldn't be interrupted *huggles her*

3. You guys for all your kind comments *huggles you*

4. Fergus passed his Gold level obedience certificate, even though some of the things he was being tested on he'd never done before. He is a smart doggy.
