The Importance of Being Idle

Time With Me Is Wasted Time

Okay, so I'll start here: Yesterday was a real panic. For some reason I didn't wake up at all until just after 1pm, and this was not happy news. I had an interview today, so I wanted to get my company research finished, make sure my application form was spot on and generally get my self together. To be honest it wasn't that hard to do, I just disliked waking up so late, it's really annoying to be wasting half of my day like that.
So, this morning I woke up nice and early at 8am (when Ronnie gave me my wake up call! Thanks babe!), and I got myself sorted and went to the interview. This turned out to be a total waste of time: they told me that "they weren't really interviewing for assistant managers today", which lead me to wonder why I'd been given an appointment. So my "interview" lasted all of ten minutes, and was a real waste of time. Luckily the interview was at the job centre, and I chatted with my advisor who had a few vacancies she'd been keeping for me, so I had something new to apply for when I got home.
Not straight away however, cos Stu had FINALLY sent my Christmas present! Yes, the LEGO ARC Fighter pictured above has finally arrived at my house, and I had a lovely relaxing couple of hours assembling it this afternoon. He also sent me a DVD (A Better Tomorrow) and an Xbox game (Call of Cthulhu:Dark Corners of the Earth). So it was an excellent parcel to receive this morning! Cheers bro!
I've also spent some of the time having a poke around the Eurovision website, checking out some of this years entrants. Latvia (I think!) is the one that stands out, although there is one insane heavy metal song that I really hope does well - if they actually perform on stage in the costumes they have on in the video, they'll get my vote for sheer nerve! For the love of all that you hold dear though, don't bother with the UK entry, it is an abomonation, and I apologise from the bottom of my heart.
