So I know I don't post much on here anymore but this seems more personal than Facebook lol.
Last week I was told I am being made redundant. On the same day my grandad and his partner were taken ill my grandad was nearly killed by the flu and his partner is in hospital she is getting better but she has sepsis so it's touch and go... Then Wednesday one of my old friends from my old place of work collapsed and died of a heart attack any to top it all off my fiance now has the flu and I am off work with stress.... Good week all round lol

New Post! Worst interview ever!
October 26, 2011 @ 09:33:26 pm

So, today I had an interview at a Boots store. I was told to arrive at the store at 2pm. I arrived about 1:55 and had no idea where I was supposed to be going, so I asked one of the employees running around the shop floor. They said they knew who was supposed to be interviewing me, that they would go get them and I had to stay put. So there I am standing in the middle of Boots and I see no sign of the interviewer or the girl who went to get her. I waited and waited for 10 mins, until I eventually asked someone else. They said they would shout for her over the store tannoy, and I had to wait there. So they shout for this woman and I wait and wait for another 10 mins. Still no interviewer. Then another member of staff came up and said that the interviewer was in an important meeting and that she'd take me up to wait in the staff room. So there I am waiting in the staff room, staring at white walls while members of staff are awkwardly eating their lunch in silence around me. EVENTUALLY at 2:25pm the interviewer pops her head into the staff room and tells me she'll be with me in a few minutes. Another 5 minutes later she tells me to go and wait in her office. I wait another 5 minutes. She comes in and says "Right, Donna, you're here for the christmas temp, right?" Um. NO. I explain I'm not Donna and that it's for a managerial position. She looks puzzled, then says "OH RIGHT, so you are. Right, give me 5 minutes to read over your CV, since I read Donna's instead."
By this point I was a bit annoyed. Eventually she stops reading and explains that she'll be asking me some questions regarding my experience and then she'll take me on the shop floor to continue the interview.
She starts the questions, which consisted of her reading directly off a sheet of paper, while making no eye contact. I would answer her and she would just write everything I said, word for word, on the sheet of paper. And she would do that slow reading out loud that people do when they're copying things down. VERY ANNOYING!
5 minutes of questions that had nothing to do with a managerial job, they were all basic customer service questions, and still no eye contact.
After the questions which lasted about 5-10 minutes she says "Oh, actually you're not going on the shop floor today, that's another interview. Right that's you done. I'll take you back down."

GRRRRRR. I feel like it was totally unorganised, I have no idea how the interview even went because I got absolutely nothing off this woman. She never looked at me, she never even asked anything about me, or why I wanted the job. NOTHING aside from the usual "Why is it important to be polite to customers" rubbish!

Anyway, rant over. I just felt like an idiot, preparing all this research into the company, and sales techniques, and team management skills, to be confused with someone else, told the wrong interview, asked pointless questions about "why should you smile at customers?" that only lasted 10 minutes, when I had been waiting for well over 45 minutes! GRRRRRR
Why do I even bother?!?

New Post! Accident

My fiances friend was in an accident today when she was riding her horse up the road to the stable. As she was walking the horse up the hill on the way back. A car appeared from behind her and went straight through the horse and her the horse has been killed instantly as it was almost broken in 2 when it landed after the impact. The girl riding the horse was extremely lucky and has come out of it with a few scratches and bruises. The car involved had its roof ripped off but the driver still managed to get it round a corner before it hit a wooden post and split the engine in 2!

We don't know the full details of the crash yet or whether the driver was drunk at the wheel. Regardless of the result of the investigation we have started a petition to get the speed limit on country roads lowered.

Please sign it now and tell your friends! otherwise next time it could be someone you know.

New Post! just my hate !!

just my hate !

My hate peeks suddenly
When voices are weaker than mine
The hatred I conceal
Boils to the point of scalding
All of my hate
Is brought on by fear and loneliness.
(The shell of fear)

Sometimes I awaken
To an unjustified pain?
I arrive at the conclusion
Bittersweet shall always be
The candy of life.

In other words,
?Oh, what tangled webs we weave.?

With this knot I seal this hex,
you will not sleep you will not rest!
Knots of anger knots of hate,
Discord brings you to your fate!
I tie this second Knot makes two,
bringing darkness over you!
Slander, discord, evil to,
bringing darkness straight to you!
With this third knot, I do bind!
Weaving chaos in your mind,
hex of anger hex of hate,
bring Him/Her down I will not wait!
SO MOTE IT BE!"

A Cherokee Legend An old Cherokee is teaching his grandson about life. "A fight is going on inside me," he said to the boy. "It is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One is evil - he is anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance, self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, superiority, ...and ego." He continued, "The other is good - he is joy, peace, love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion, and faith. The same fight is going on inside you - and inside every other person, too." The grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his grandfather, "Which wolf will win?" The old Cherokee simply replied, "The one you feed.
