And jc! Well done on your second interview! Sounds like you did well :T Rather rotten of them to change the job description part way through the recruitment process :Eek: any idea why??? Sounds like you did exactly the right thing though

I think they are trying to kill two vacancies with one person - there are periods where accountancy is quieter than other and its at those time they would be looking for the successful candidate to work in the auditing department - as she said it would save them having to recruit an auditor.

Fantasia - well done to DD you must be so relieved!

Well the good news is that I'm not heading off to teach in Afghanistan

I am going to Edinburgh in January however to work with a Vet Student who is struggling.

The guy in Kabul is her fiancee and he wants to pay for a day of one-to-one tuition as a Christmas present - don't worry she is getting other prettier stuff too :rotfl::rotfl:

.................... the best news, this piece of work came to me by referral - the very best kind :T

Off to have an early night - cos I've got to drive a long way tomorrow -but at least its downhill all the way to Leeds isn't it?

Good luck for your drive MG, can't wait to meet you in Leeds and meet with other Matrix buddies. Well timed as its been a funny week, not funny haha either....however being philisophical, I've decided the message is that's its time to make some serious decisions about what's next in my work life...its fairly stagnant at the mo.

Congrats to all those with job success to celebrate! And positive thoughts coming your way tomorrow Claire.

Hello

I still read everyday, work is pretty awful at the moment and I just wondered if you guys could give me some advice. Work does make me miserable but I do love my job and I don't want to leave because I would really like to do it well. Organisation is my big problem and I am constantly behind with work (am a teacher - marking is my absolute downfall) I have tried various systems and timetables but nothing really works. Its not somthing I can ask the Universe for!?

Hi Buffy,

I would suggest two rather different approaches. One is to keep time diary - not time sheets which are a management tool but a diary where you write what you do, when you do it, why you do it. Keep this for couple of weeks and after that look at it - you will notice patterns; and you will know whether it is really organisation or you are too busy. If you are too busy the whole thing becomes and matter fo prioritisation. If you notice that you 'displace' and waste time - you can decide what to do about it and how to trick yourself into doing the things you are avoiding.

The second is to sit down and write your perfectly organised week - do it as free writing. You will notice that your brain recognises it and that small re-arrangements can bring great results. With me, it was a matter of ring-fencing time for the different activities so that I know what I am doing from the minute I open my eyes, and I don't push out the things I don't like doing.

Hope this helps.

Hey Buffy!!

I love my job but it makes me miserable...especially at the moment!!

As for the marking...I'm finding myself marking late into the night more and more despite the fact I mark in my prep time and during lunchtime and breaks when I can.
