Didn't get it. in Hello.
I didn’t get that job. A bit sad because it DID sound like fun, but in a way it’s kind of a relief because I was worried about working it around this job. The reply I got was very nice. “Dear So...
Job 2 interview. in Hello.
I’ve just been for my interview as a costumed interpreter. It was....novel to say the least! The job would involve talking about what the member of staff would do in the house, in my case I would...
Happy times in Hello.
I’ve done three days at work now, and I have to say, it seems great so far. I basically know what I’m doing, Once you’ve worked in one shop, you’ve worked in them all! The till is straight forwar...
As you know, I am out of work at the moment. I did have a really good job in a charity shop in the next town, but not driving meant I had to rely on lifts and buses. This was not only expensive, ...

Remember the entry a couple back, where I was talking about people who didn’t understand me/I didn’t understand them and I thought I was going crackers? It’s happened again. Yesterday evening Bel...
Where I'm at... in Hello.
The job situation in this town is awful. All I want is a job that’s roughly 9-5. That’s it, something I can work around the kids without them being left on their own for hours when John goes to w...
Frustration! in Hello.
Sometimes I seriously wonder about my sanity. I’m the kind of person that doesn’t like to just blindly think what I’m “supposed” to think. It really actually frustrates me that some people live t...
I know other people’s dreams are incredibly boring, so please don’t feel obliged to read or comment, I’ve just put this here for my benefit so I can try and figure out what it’s about. I don’t be...
