Tuesdays are rubbish! (as is pretty much every week day) I've had to do stuff today!! Like replace mice, replace toners and switch on computers!! MAN!</p><p> </p><p>

I got told I would find out about it either on tuesday or wednesday... only I haven't been told yet. After speaking with my Uncle, who's partner works at the place where I had the interview... and who's sister went for an interview... he said that no news is good news.... whatever that means?!</p><p> </p><p>
I really want this job! My work place would be this massive reception area with a big desk and the opposite wall is glass with a nice view of the pitch at Burnley FC.... it's amazing!!</p><p> </p><p>
GAH! I really want to ring this woman... but I don't want to seem pushy. I guess if she hasn't rang me by the end of the day then I will e-mail her.</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">37</guid><pubDate>Thu, 24 Apr 2008 09:01:17 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Dinner Time!</title><link>https://www.edugeek.net/blogs/entry/36-dinner-time/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Yay! Boycotting the canteen.... wonder how long that will last...</p><p> </p><p>
Got me a pasta pot and a couple of yoghurts.. hopefully it won't make my belly rumble in my interview at 3!</p><p> </p><p>
Bought myself a shiny suit for this interview... that is how much I want the job! <img alt=":p" data-src="https://www.edugeek.net/uploads/emoticons/tongue.png.733aeb0d8a3af05ed8189d31fe0aa650.png" src="https://www.edugeek.net/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>

Pays more than here so not fussed. Also would enable me to save lots of cash on not using petrol and get fit at the same time, because the job is at the football club, and that just happens to be where my gym is! Also in walking distance of new house... if we ever get to move!</p><p> </p><p>

Got asked about repairing laptops and stuff... which I don't often do at work and I managed to repair a machine (after some prompting to look at the front of it - even though I got it to boot up fine)</p><p> </p><p>
They liked the fact I was confident and they said I would fit in well... but there was a bit of apprehension because I was female <img alt=":(" data-src="https://www.edugeek.net/uploads/emoticons/frown.png.cbbd7587b7aef409d872880bc9183d5d.png" src="https://www.edugeek.net/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p><p> </p><p>
Hopefully a guy will get back to me about the CCTV job interview I went for several weeks ago. Apparently he's been off sick... guess he can't help that. Still annoying that they don't tell you.</p><p> </p><p>
Oh well... back to the job centre plus website!</p><p> </p><p>
Oh wait! I have 2 applications pending somewhere else! Hmmm... maybe I can get one of those... (non technical - managing type jobsie for local project to help people start up their own businesses) OH the IRONY!!!!</p><p> </p><p>
Looking for jobs is depressing.</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">30</guid><pubDate>Mon, 14 Apr 2008 08:43:30 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Jobs Jobs</title><link>https://www.edugeek.net/blogs/entry/21-jobs-jobs/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Got an interview for "IT Repair Technician" at a local firm tomorrow. Same money, but hopefully more job progression prospects. Can't stay a tekkie forever!</p><p> </p><p>
Just hope I get something before the holidays are up! Then I can hand in my notice. Might actually speak to someone about that today to see what I do... and what to do if nobody is in school!</p><p> </p><p>
Unfortunately that will mean I'm not an official "Edugeek", but I'm sure nobody will mind me hanging around!! <img alt=":D" data-src="https://www.edugeek.net/uploads/emoticons/biggrin.png.4a4edb970cebba43a9a2d9de292c6dce.png" src="https://www.edugeek.net/applications/core/interface/js/spacer.png" /></p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">21</guid><pubDate>Thu, 03 Apr 2008 08:45:27 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Foolish Fool Fooler</title><link>https://www.edugeek.net/blogs/entry/20-foolish-fool-fooler/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>Got through the day without being got.

Saw someone being got though... which was most amusing!</p><p> </p><p>
aaaaaah go home now and tend to Chirpies... he needs powdering and then I think i'll clean him out. He hates it when I hold him... sulks at me for ages afterwards!! Hehe... silly birdy!</p><p> </p><p>

On account of me being disorganised I have failed to buy any breakfast things for myself and I am currently starving to death. Luckily colleague will be nipping to Lidl in an hour or so.</p><p> </p><p>
I could go to tesco express but I'm just too lazy! Mmmm potato cakes.</p><p> </p><p>

Thing is salesman insisted that we didn't need a bt line and that you didn't have to pay £11 a month... it's like £4... (lie)</p><p> </p><p>
"You have a BT Line", I'm pretty sure we don't... but whatever. (We don't have a BT line)</p><p> </p><p>
So gonna ring BT up and see how much it would be to activate a line. Is it £85??</p><p> </p><p>
Hope not.</p><p> </p><p>
Anyone know anyone who works for BT in the Burnley area?! hehe.</p><p> </p><p>
Actually there is a BT place round the corner from work... might pop in and see if they can do anything for me.</p><p> </p><p>
Hope our sky card comes through today then I can watch the colour of magic on sky one!</p>]]></description><guid isPermaLink="false">14</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Mar 2008 08:52:10 +0000</pubDate></item><item><title>Disgustingest Profile</title><link>https://www.edugeek.net/blogs/entry/9-disgustingest-profile/</link><description><![CDATA[<p>It was worse earlier... but it's still pretty dire.</p><p> </p><p>

I'm usually prepared for this... but not this year!</p><p> </p><p>
Think I threw away about 500 pages of not wanted printouts yesterday... stupid childrens.</p><p> </p><p>
