I got a phone call from the organization to which I had applied for a job. They asked me to attend an interview! :) I wasn't expecting I'd get the chance. Anyway, the interview will take place next Friday when I have a whole day class. Hopefully the tutor will let me off the morning session. Later in the afternoon I saw Boots & Royal Mail were recruiting for Christmas! So I'm going to apply to them and hope to earn a bit of money.
The electrician called me two days ago about a visit to our flat to check the extractor fan for our bathrooms. I missed his call and today the agent emailed to ask me to contact the electrician. The electrician came in the afternoon. He had to use a ladder to go into the little space on the roof of my room to see the extractor fan. Poor him! He found the 'controller' thing for the fan had been burnt and the filter was so dusty. He said he had to find a quote for the 'controller' and contact our landlord to see if he's willing to pay. =_=' Fingers crossed...
I had a chat on the phone with an ex-colleague. She said her good 'friend' and I seemed to have similar situations - her good 'friend' had had different household problems to sort out before, e.g. tv licence, water meter, broadband, and she had to help him sort them out. Then they found out the current government has changed the rules for social benefits to such an extent that people from EU can't get benefits any more! :( So he's quite worried about his living while at the same time he doesn't want to go back to Macau as he doesn't like the life there and he doesn't want to leave my ex-colleague. Same case with me... :(

Another ex-colleague of mine is getting married in October. Today I asked her if any of my ex-colleagues would be attending. I found only me and my two ex-bosses would be there; there's not many people I know who'd be attending (besides a pair of brothers whom I don't really have much contact with now). :( It's a nightmare - going to a wedding where you know no one but your two ex-bosses who you don't like; I thought someone would go but it's very unlikely that he'd go :( . Anyway...

Lunch: lazy person's meal - burger with baked beans
Dinner: salmon in teriyaki sauce and broccoli
Yummy Yummy!
Good luck with all the job applications, fingers crossed for you !
ReplyDeleteHave you tried Argos? They always want people at X'mas, I know you're far too over qualified for these jobs, but nice to keep busy while waiting for other opportunities to come along, especially the job market is so quiet nowadays.
Thanks for the reminder, Jane! I'll have a look at argos' website and see if they've got any vacancies for x'mas. I've applied to royal mail for x'mas work and hopefully I can get it. Yes, it's good to keep busy while waiting for other opportunities, so as to keep my confidence and skills..
