Tea? (Part 2)

[Night Train]

I was good today as well. I didn't buy any double cream to go with the mince pies...

So where are they giving away double cream?

Tsk. NO double cream. Not in this house. Today anyway.

Hi @ColinJ

I will be booking my car into Murts at some point soon if you fancied meeting up for a

That would be nice. I am usually free, although I have 2 or 3 things coming up in the next couple of weeks and a blood test, x-ray and consultant's appointment at the end of November. Let me know nearer the time and I'll see if I can make it!

Just back from Miss A_T's graduation... lovely day in Sheffield.

Journey back up the A1 was a bit of a slog, A1 closed at A66[M] turn off, diversion through Darlington, then closed again north of A167 at Birtley, diversion through Gateshead,.. didn't spoil a day of happy memories!

I won't be buying any goodies today either!

I'm off to the market later with a cafe visit afterwards. I'll resist the cake and make do with a toasted currant teacake, which I have made room for by eating only a small banana for breakfast. Er, so that's a for me too!

Just had a terrible interview at the Uni. I did state in my application that I have not done any sports turf work, and that my gardening knowledge was not good. I got asked what the seed application rates would be for patching up a sports field. How would you prepare a cricket pitch for a match in 5 days time, and what type of grass seed to use. I have never had to state before that I just didn't know during an interview. Result, it was a very short interview. There was no way I could turn that one round.

I've been crying since I came home, it's the worst year of my life. I feel useless and my 2:1 means nothing. Why do people invite someone for an interview to humiliate you?

Liverpool or Newcastle?

Liverpool or Newcastle?

You lucky person you.

Think I need to have a big rethink.

 

[Archie_tect]

Possibly Salzburg!

Don't let them get to you G, anyone who selects people for interview but neither understands or even reads their application letter and CV is a moron and just think of it as a fortunate escape that you're not having to work with them. There are better jobs which are tailored to your coursework and experience just around the corner... It's only when you look back on life that you realise that many things are the result of happy circumstance, so keep smiling!.
