Hmmmmmm…. in OD

So, I’m doing the job hunting thing (which isn’t easy since the DWP fucked up, I mean “improved”, the job centre website) and there’s a job I think I could be good at.

Admittedly, it is less money than I’m on just now, but that doesn’t really bother me.

I googled the place to find out how to apply (the job centre website doesn’t seem to think I need information like that) and it sounds interesting.

The problem is that they are looking for someone to start on Jan 2nd, and I’ll still be in Aberdeen then.

So, the question is: do I apply for the job knowing that I’ll have to ask them to delay my start date?

Getting finished at work before then shouldn’t be a problem cos others have done so. It’s just if it would affect my chances of getting the job that I’m stressing about.

Advice? Random abuse?

As for work? Well, still no systems. And they decided to move my department into another part of the building to save money on rent. And have since discovered that, because they are beefing up another department, there is now a lack of space.

Oooops!

Actually, I’ve applied for a job in that department. Still waiting to hear back, which I thought I would have done by now.

And it turns out that I get paid on Christmas Eve instead of Hogmanay. Which is useful, seeing as how I won’t be seeing most people I’m getting Christmas gifts for till New Year.

Apart from that, things are going well. Arguing with T-Mobile about my upgrade, which I was promised I would definitely have this month. Bloody idiots.

Looking forward to the Scifi Weekender. If I can find others to come with me.

I’m seeing a hardcore legend in April! Mick Foley, one of my all time favourite wrestlers, is bringing his stand up show to the Town Hall and I got me a ticket. Not a meet and greet, unfortunately, but never mind. I’ll settle for being in the same room as him.

Still uber excited about Nessa Monster visiting. We won’t have as much time together as I’d have liked, due to lack of holidays at work, but still. I get to see her!

I may be plotting evil schemy type things for when she’s here. But can’t say too much. Cos she’ll read it.

Remember the dinosaur park I posted pics of here? Well, it turns out that the land has been put up for sale for the construction of units. In an area with plenty of unused units…

Don’t forget, previous entry if you want an e-card.
