I feel so bad - look at you all,wondering how things went. Sorry to be so slow to update.

I added it up this morning; I left the house at 10:30 and got home to 18:00 so it was seven and a half hours travel for a 40 minute interview (I had been told that would be the length of time, so duration neither en/discouraged me)!!

It brought home to me just how much of a country bumpkin I have become; I wasn't afraid of London as such but the indifference of other people was a wake up call. This isn't a criticism of London but rather of myself - having allowed my life to become so small that a day out in London (partially funded by the Jobcentre) was an adventure. And that I have allowed myself to sink so spiritually and physically low that even given the opportunity, I probably wouldn't take it.

I was very VERY close to wimping out but the thought of being answerable to everyone on here who has offered support, advice and indepth instructions on how to cross London almost literally carried me out of the door.

It did seem that the stars were aligned for this job - seeing it by chance, applying after then deadline, even the support from the Jobcentre - add to that the fact that technically, I should have missed the train (unforseen road works diverted traffic right through and around the town), that I found a free parking space and that I didn't get travel sick despite having to "face backwards" for 1.5 hours -all seemed like good omens, didn't they....

I am finding myself wondering if I actually want to be a PA - but that's the problem, maybe that's "all" I am fit for, if that. Prior to this, I had been giving serious consideration to the direction I should take in life and probably still have to.
I fear that I am such a stick in the mud that, should I get the chance, I probably wouldn't move anyway and yet the only ties that I have are a rented house and a Desert Orchid lookalike who is on his very las legs.

I'm not writing this very well am I? All I really should say is that the chances are I won't be going for a second interview (with the Director, who is presently in Tanzania and not back until a week on Monday) but I am very glad that I went for the first (and only) one - it is entirely thanks to every single person who has been kind and interested enough to offer their encouragement.

XXXXX
Big kisses.

Good to hear from you G2C, and sorry if you flet we pushed you too hard to do something you were uncomfortable with.

But hey, what an adventure, and how wonderful to have something that was clearly meant to be play out so well!

I hope you find your perfect job soon sweetie xx
