LD SW interview

There was nothing today that should have triggered my foul mood, I really must have gotten out of bed on the wrong side......considering that side faces a wall I would expect nothing less. Alas, I was in a total stinker of a mood, and nothing seemed to be shifting it. The I-Pod was set to Lostprophets, Aiden, 30 Seconds to Mars, Placebo and Alice Cooper, as I set about dismantling more computers and servers, and debating with the new boss about retaining old motherboards to sell as future stock. Personally, I wouldn't. We're (or rather I'm) in the process of setting up a new business selling old, new and refurbished computers, laptops and accessories. The reason I'm in is to prepare the online store for the next IT technician, which for an ex-veterinary nurse is quite an interesting side step. With the post being near home it also means my Masters degree fund is feeling a bit happier, which in turn stops me from thoroughly panicking.

The degree is due to start in September, and I will be studying the dreading MSc Neuroscience at a Top ten UK university (which I will reveal when I start there!). I'm feeling worried about it already, whether I'm intelligent enough to cope with a course that intense, will I financially be ok, etc. All things I can't really change.....well, except the financial situation, I am trying to improve my standing there, but working as an IT technician isn't really paying that well. Which is why when my email inbox stated there was an message waiting from the NHS with regards to a well paid support worker post in learning disabilities and rehabilitation I couldn't help but smile. It's the interview I've been waiting for! This post is literally 15 minutes from home, more pay, interesting role within a learning disabilities unit....perfect! The only problem, I'm on holiday when the interview date is....d'oh! It is half way through the holiday too, they don't do things by half do they? So I'm having to plan a trip from my holiday,to the interview, back to the holiday. Unpleasant. I deserve the job just for the amount of faff I'm going to have to go through just to make the interview.

Really I should be trying to stay positive about it all, it will be another 9-5pm job! Which I'm getting used to, the veterinary nursing job stole my weekends and an evening a week too for working oncall....without pay. It really was a waste of two years. Having this time back has been a total treat! .....though I spend most of it on Twitter. Oooops. There is no way I'm going back to a job that requires me working stupid hours, for a complete nobstick, for no pay.

Wow, I grew a spine all of a sudden.
