Meh *EDIT* in OD

Surprise interview went better than I expected, apparently. Got an email from them saying they want me to fill in a form and return it by Monday.

That’s not all I’ve been asked to suppply. I also need to prove that I am eligible to work in the UK.

Ah.

What they accept is either my passport or my long form birth certificate. Neither of which I have. I don’t own a passport and I don’t have my long form birth certificate. My mum does have that, but it’s, obviously, in Aberdeen.

I’ve emailed my mum to ask if she can send it down to me. Not sure if she’s read the email yet, so I’ll phone her tonight.

(Well, I say phone her. My phone won’t let me make outgoing calls. So, what I’ll do is reverse charge the call and she’ll phone me back.)

But still. It went better than I thought.

Maybe that’s the key to getting through interviews. Spring it on me.

Apart from that, not much is happening. Got a funny feeling the job centre is telling me porkies in an attempt to get me to write down my job search (they want me to, I don’t want to, there’s nothing in my job seekers agreement that says I must).

The feedback I asked for is starting to trickle through. (Which reminds me: must email to tutor.) My story for the Bloody Scotland competition is done but it needs tweaking. Or a complete page one rewrite. Not sure which yet. Haven’t actually looked at it since I finished it. Which is normal for me. I find it easier to edit a story once I’ve got some distance from it rather than just after it’s done. And I’m concentrating on the thing I have to get ready for submission in a couple of weeks time.

The title of my Bloody Scotland entry needs to change. It’s shit, but I can’t think of a better one at the moment.

Oh, WrestleMania this weekend! A local pub is showing it live. Damn right I’m going to be there. I can’t wait cos, unlike last year, I’ll actually have money! Woot!

Not long now before Nessa monster gates here! It’s actually going to be a packed time with borotweetup, bungee jumping, giving blood, a curry (possibly) and going to Edinburgh and London.

Actually, do any of my London based readers know of anything geeky going on on June 7th/8th? I’m being “dragged” to a brain exhibition and have been promised a geeky trip as well.

And with that, I need a smoke. Have fun kiddies!

*EDIT*

Mum’s going to send me my long form birth certificate tomorrow. Yay!
