Mission:Control - MinnieSpender's DFW diary

MinnieSpender

Well, they do seem like a nice bunch, I have to say. Small company who are growing and I've already pointed out to them that it's in their own best interests to employ me.

Then again, with all this luck at getting interviews, maybe I should consider starting my own agency.

Anyone fancy signing up for Jobs for SlobsTM?

Oh, absolutely! Sounds just right for me at the mo :rolleyes: :rotfl:

Holy cow! Look at the time! I haven't done my quota of tidying the flat tonight (too busy whirling around to The Flaming Lips) and the washer dryer arrives on Saturday!

Tomorrow night is going to be extremely busy. Stardrops, Starclen and microfibre cloths - stand by. Vacuum cleaner.... I'm coming to get you!

DFWers - I'll always have time for you.

Nighty night all.

And the man at the back said
Everyone attack and it turned into a ballroom blitz
And the girl in the corner said
Boy, I wanna warn ya, it'll turn into a ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz, ballroom blitz
Ballroom blitz*

Yo, [STRIKE]Blair![/STRIKE] DFWers!

What a lovely day - if you like oppressive heat. And not a sign of the promised rain. I wonder if Michael Fish is behind all this?

The search for gainful employment continues onwards. As of this afternoon I am [STRIKE]unemployed[/STRIKE] resting.

I'm now very glad I didn't throw all my extra cash at the Debt. I might need it in the coming weeks for, ooh, eating and stuff.

The second interview occurred today and I'm afraid I turned the job down when they offered it. I just didn't feel right about it (I won't go into detail as it would take hours to tell you all, and anyway, a picture paints a thousand words - see below**).

So, on with the metaphorical boots on Monday and high-ho, high-ho, it's off to find gainful employment I go.

But, am I bovvered? No! I got chanting, I got lentils, I got you lot, I got hope. I also got a lottery ticket :T.

The plan for this weekend involves a little light feng shui, the gym and working out the Plan of what to do next.

Chin up, chickens! Have a lovely weekend "enjoying" our extended summer!

Hey Minnie good for you having your own diary! Am amused already by the meanderings & look forward to our updates! Will send positive vibes on the job seeking...what do you do? Any agency work around to tide you over until something f/t comes up? Big hugs & have fun with the star drops!! Mine will emerge at some stage this weekend! Are DFW's exciting or what!!

Hey minnie!

I'm already jealous of your song of the day idea, and may well steal it... I look forward to reading your diary anyway!

What was I thinking when I chose Ballroom Blitz as song for the day?

1. I hardly live in a ballroom. The whole flat could fit neatly into the DJ booth at the local stomping emporium.

2. Blitz? :rotfl: Look at the time! I've got to at least clear a vague runway for the impending delivery of washer tomorrow. Not happening.

Will somebody out there please shout loudly at me to GET ON WITH IT?

While you do that, I'll disappear and assemble boxes. I figure if I just stash the whole lot and pile them up against a wall I'll be in with a chance. Once it's all out of the way I'll be able to see what space I have (no, Minnie, MySpace doesn't count).

3. And, as I'm doing zilch for the forseeable, I'll be able to spend my unemployment unpacking boxes and putting things in the right place.

Simple really, no?

You don't look almost 39!
