Myspace is addicting..ahh..but I love anything that kills an hour or more of work time though.
Good Luck Faerie! I really hate interviewing too. One of the most unnerving experiences. Hopefully you got the job and wont have to do it again for a while. Do you know yet when they will call?
peapod_j , my heartfelt condolences, sweetie. I hope you can get some rest this weekend. 2 more days. If there is anything I can do, dont hesitate to ask.
As for me, today I blogged, chatted with Mr. Garner on msn for a bit, (see I can follow directions), and might have squeezed some work in there somewhere. Now, about 45 minutes til I can go home. Sigh...

Faerie good luck. Wendy that is good news and I hope it all goes well. Peapod condolences...Garner all hail!

I'm coming to terms with rattling around the house by myself at the moment. My partner was sent business class to a tropical island for over a week for work (the bastard). But it means that I have the house to myself and its a very strange experience...Although the positives are I get unlimited couch commando rights, can stay in the shower as long as I like and get to eat whatever dodgy meals I choose (2 minute noodles for choice). Ah the single life

My condolences to Peapod and good luck to Faerie.
As a single person, 2 min noodles lost its appeal a looong time ago, I'm trying to eat "real" food now.
I just started working again after a 3 week holiday and is still getting used to getting up early again, ecspecially since it's winter here.

I just quit eating all together since I'm single. The only time I eat at the apartment is when I get up and either make biscuits or eat a bowl of cereal. It still feels wierd eating breakfast at three in the afternoon. Then I eat a small supper at half past six and peanut butter and crackers at nine. The only other break I get at work is at one in the morning and I usually just get something to drink and maybe a sweet something.

That's my weekly diet. On weekends I may go out and eat once or twice and often that's the only thing I eat, except for a family lunch on Sunday. I think my diet is why I can't gain weight. At a little over six feet I weigh around 145 lbs.


I couldn't decide on just one quote... more to come.

They are supposed to call at the end of this week. She said if I got it I would start training the week after but the problem is the week after that my family and hopefully me are going camping up north so we'll see if I can still go.

Faerie, good luck! #crosses fingers#

Gee Redneck, I can't guess why you can't gain weight. . . . #thinks very hard#

I worked at a little kids party today.
It was a lot better than I thought it was going to be.
Still not the best experience of my life though.

Going to have my best friend over for a sleepover tomorrow, yay!
It will be funkaliscious and fantasmical!

redneck, Cereal is good anytime. I usually eat some around 8:30 or so before bed. Your eating habits sound a lot like mine, even though I usually have to provide for the hubby and the animals..
Angua_rox I feel your pain, hun. I once had a job where I was in charge of childrens b-day parties at a theme park. *shudders* If you ever need to vent, come find me. Oh and I swear I'm not forum stalking you. ( a lot of my posts seem to be right after yours, weird..) Have fun at your sleep over!

I am driving 3 hours tomorrow to Par-Tay with my little sis for her 25th b-day. We are doing a luau, with sand on the back porch and an "ocean" on the back lawn. Taqulia shots for all and of course lei's... I even have my loud Hawiian shirt!!

peapod: Did you like the Pirates movie? A couple people I know didn't think it was as good as the first one but I liked it. Now I can't wait for the 3rd one.

My Kohl's interview was yesterday and it was a group interview with 6 other people which I didn't know it was going to be, and 2 of them were named Amy like me. It didn't go terribly but I think I like the way my Barbes & Noble interveiw went more.

I had a fantabulous time today.

I saw some friends of mine that I hadn't seen in a very VERY VERY long time.
And they brought some friends of theirs, so I made new friends too.

It was lovely, really perfect.

I had my offer accepted for a house today and will be joining the ranks of property owners, as well as being permanently skint due to mortgage etc. But I really liked the house which is only about 10 mins walk from where I'm currently renting, so I get to stay in the village, and it has three bedrooms so I can turn the small one into a library.
