SCORE!

After fifteen phonecalls and two job application forms, I have finally managed to get a job interview. To quote:

"Hello, can I speak to [lady in advert] about a job in the paper, please?"

"She's interviewing at the moment. Can I take your details?"

"Of course!"

"What job are you interested in?"

I hadn't got that far yet, so I scanned the advert again. "Um, housekeeping." (The other option was being a carer. Mum did that for years and has warned me off 'unless you get really desperate'. I wasn't at that point yet.)

"Housekeeping? Brilliant!"

"Um, okay."

I gave her the rest of my details and proceeded to arrange an interview. On the downside, they want to for when my shift at work finishes, so no break for Colleen. And also, it's housekeeping. Still, money is money.

Other problem: it is in Formby. I do not know Formby and I only have some very vague and garbled directions. Iona, do you have ANY idea where Seaview House is, please? Apparently it's around your neck of the woods, or the woman on the phone told me. I didn't even look where it was until I phoned up.

Things I Need To Do Today:

1. Go outside of house
2. Book dentists appointment
3. Buy lunch of some description
4. Check if have been paid
5. Book driving test
6. Revision

So, I have stuff to do today and a six hour shift with no break since I must take it at the end to escape to Formby tomorrow. It's slowly dawning on me that yes, my exams are next week and gosh, aren't you a little unprepared for them? I may spend today sorting out bloody Critical Research for media. I am also absolutely shattered, as I couldn't sleep last night and woke u[ at 10.00 voluntarily. You have no idea how early this is for me on a normal day. But, y'know, YAY INTERVIEW.

im a housekeeper, and i wont lie it's very, very hard work. But the plus side is that it normaly pays well (£5 an hour++) relatively short hours (although you will be knackered) and its good practive for uni!

I can do hard work! Also heavy lifting.

Ah well. *crosses fingers* Frankly enough, there's not much I won't do at the moment for a payslip.
