The Importance of Being Idle

Scarily Productive Morning

So I got up early and went to my interview. As usual I'd over-estimated the evil of rush-hour traffic, so I was there half an hour before necessary. Luckily I'd taken a magazine with me, so I sat reading and listening to the radio before I made my grand entrance.
That was when it all started to go wrong.
See, I'd done my company research based upon the address of the people I'd applied to and my scouting trip yesterday. What I hadn't done was actually get out of the car and go into the store, cos if I had I'd have noticed something. The actual place I'd applied to was a concession within the main store, and that revelation suddenly rendered all my research redundant as I'd researched and prepped on the parent company, and not the actual place I was looking to work, the concession within the main store. Now, there's a certain sort of relaxtion that comes over you when you realise you've failed before you even begin, so I just went in there and was calm and thoughtful and on top of my game. Damn me if it didn't go well though! The bloke said up front that he liked me, my attitude and my enthusiasm, although he was worried that HR would balk at how my career at the BHF ended. Still, it was good and I was pleased, and I should hear something by the end of the week.
When I came home I'd got a cheque from my parents (thank god for them, I'd be fucked without their help right now) so I counted out all my coppers and whatnot (which amounted to a massive £18.83) and went and paid that all into the bank, which was good. Then I bought some stamps and posted the dozen entries I'd made for the draw to get Live8 tickets. I was going to buy some MacCheese too, but looking at the calorie information just freaked me out (800! for one thing! I barely ate that many calories in the entire of yesterday!) so I decided against.
And now its now, time for lunch and then... whatever it is I get up to this afternoon! Yay!
