With my typing speed I wonder whether it would be better to get a job as an audio typist or something like that. Something where I do not have to deal with other people much or make any decisions beyond whether to ask what a word was. I imagine I could do medical audio typing pretty easily - I can spell most medical words on hearing them and I do know how to use a dictionary.

I guess I'm just apprehensive about my interview this morning. I do not want another office job where I end up with stress caused by other people not really quite doing their jobs, and me being the 'bottom of the foodchain' so to speak. I want something where I can go do work, do my clearly-defined, stress-free job, and come home from work and NOT THINK ABOUT MY JOB. I have teaching and still some office work at Yakar to think about, on top of various other things... I don't want to add any more jobs that will require too much creative thinking or effort, whether it is required to deal with the people or the actual work. I'm worried that this job, although it sounds fairly straight forward (invoice processing, typing, photocopying, filing - I figure if I can do filing at Yakar I can do filing ANYWHERE), will not fit the bill. I suppose there is only one way to find out though.

GRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAH!!
(just for good measure)

ARSE.

The lady who is supposed to interview me this morning is ill today.

GRAAAAAAH

So, my interview will be 9.30 Monday morning, instead.

And I will go to the interview at Maida Vale at 12.30 the same day.

And then, if I get offered both positions, I have to Make A Decision... which one do I take?

Of course, if Maida Vale job still has more people to interview and Colindale job wants me to start on Tuesday morning, then this doesn't really work, and I'll take the Colindale one.... but if they both want me to start right away then I really could be in a rather good position with this. Remember, ewt, they are interviewing you, but you are also interviewing them.

Go me.

Also this frees up today to do muchly important housey stuff which I have been too exhausted for most of the week. And maybe a much-needed trip to the gym, or a timid excursion on the bicycle. I can also do some more laundry so that my choice of what to wear to the interview is a little wider. I think that if I end up with a more formal office job then I will need to do a wee bit of office-type clothes shopping. :/ Most of my stuff is either very casual (denim skirts, T-shirts, stripey socks) or very formal (club wear, stuff I wear to synagogue, stuff I wear for concerts). I do not have a lot of things in between these extremes.

Why is it that fleece, left in the washer for more than about 3 hours after the wash finishes, gets very stinky, but other things are okay for as long as 36 hours? I dun geddit.

Off I go to change into something more suitable for doing general house stuff in. Grah. And also Graw, since I have a Canadian accent.

Yay!

My busking license is ready!

So, I have to visit the nice policemen to do a police check. This will cost me £10. They give me a receipt, which I then take to the busking office to pick up my license. When the police check information is finally sent to London Underground, I get my ten quid back.

Yay!

In other news, have just been to IKEA. Much testing of sofas. Only bought a few things yet and they are all up in the empty room until down here gets properly cleaned up.

So tired. IKEA is tiring.

I still want a taller loft bed. I have decided to make this a priority once I get a job.

ksta, we are keeping your kitchen table for the time being (you said we could). Don't want your chairs anymore though.

Me go eat now.
