day 2 or interveiw process today

my appointment is 4.30 this afternoon so have to keep busy today so dnt get all churned up about it...off soon to do groceries that will keep me busy.

yesterday was an introduction I came away less confident though as there was like 22ppl and only 10 jobs so someone is going to miss out. But all my credit and police checks will be cool and my referees so hopefully some of the 22 will be knocked out there somewhere. I like what they said about the job and am SURE I can do it afterall it is customer service and that is what I have done for about 15 years.

ok its now after 11 so best move myself have a great day and I'll report back later

I just come across this a bit of light smut that made me smile hope it doesn affend

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO ME

day of mixed emotions

got a card from Alan and Brooke this morning but the words he wrote in it have upset me
best wishes are coming your way and with each step you take today-takes you further from your past - and s one step closer to a bright new future...what the fuck does that mean.

Of course havent heard from Anthony no surprises there.

have had lots of lovely Brithday txts emails and facebook comments from pple who do care so that is nice

have a few ppeople coming around for an impromtue pot luck tea so that will be nice and I am not stressed about it I hav made my stock standard broken glass jelly and also crumbed mushrooms stuffed with blue cheese. House is tidy and I am sitting with my feet up and have just painted my toenails so waiting for them to dry before I go find somehting that i am sure needs doing.

Shouted myself a back shoulder and neck massage on Friday for my b/day also got my face waxeed and new acrylis nails...it was while having massage that I got a phoen call about the...
big news of the week...I have a job interveiw tomorrow at WINZ customer service call centre(glorified telephone answerer but hey it a job) I think I was a bot ambisous with the retail work standing 4 hrs a day near killed me so 40hrs a week would have been the end of me but this will be great. Interveiw tomorrow then go Tuesday to see if I need firther training or can start straigth away or need further training and can under stand there system etc also get security photo taken so I am a little bit excited that that sounds VERY promising.
Got my hair booked for a cut tomorrow at 11.15 after aqua jogging and then tuesday Ngaire and I are off to Avonhead merrin St tavern for tea to either celebrte or comiserte eitherway, I have a free meal coupon for my birthday cause I am a loyalty member.

Food is harder to deal too.

My goals for this week are:
Keep up my suppliments
2 litres water day
Remember to eat
Get some sleep
