My Week (The highs, the lows and the chocolate overdose)

Apr 19, 2014 by Yoshitomi
imageThree big things happened and this is going to be one long blog....or maybe not...I haven't typed it yet!
       
(1) I got a call about an IT Consultant job. It was completely unexpected but the opportunity was amazing! I get to travel, work with companies and use software to serve their needs. It was perfect for me.
   
He phoned me 2 hours later for the telephone interview. It was okay....I think he thought that I lied about having no dissertation in my degree. Which sucks because I really wanted to do a dissertation and they took it off my course JUST FOR MY YEAR! But I could tell that he didn't believe me.
     
I was supposed to hear back 24 hours later but...nothing....at all....
     
...That's my low of the week. Could have been a high too!
     
     
(2) On the Thursday I spent waiting for the all important phone call, my dad and sister kept calling me! I just wanted them to leave me alone in case I missed the call!!!!!
     
My sister rang me because she had booked an afternoon tea with her husband for Friday, but her husband had to work instead. So she invited me. I remembered that my middle sister had Good Friday off work, so I suggested that they both go instead.
     
Me and my eldest sister always hang out. I also hang out with my middle sister a lot.
However, my sisters NEVER hang out together. So I thought that this would be a great opportunity for them.
       
However, my middle sister said no. Why? I dunno, she likes to be a grumpy meany head! :P
jk, she doesn't like trains, doesn't like her plans changed with only a day of notice, and she doesn't like going to nice places to have nice stuff.
       
Nice places being the Hilton hotel, and the nice stuff being titled "Confessions of a chocoholic afternoon".
       
My dad called me as well asking me to go to his work on the same Friday. I had agreed because I know my dad doesn't ask unless he needs me.
           
SOOOOO my dad and sister made a deal for my plans. I went to my dad's work from 10am-2pm.
Then I was to take a train from Hook to London Waterloo. Then 2 more trains to get to the station (which turned out to be the wrong station because my sister is a fail). :P
       
On train no.2 (Bakerloo line), I sat opposite a strange couple. I'll tell this story in another blog. :P
       
But the afternoon was great and I had tonnes of fun with my sister. =] The chocolate was AMAZING! There was a chocolate duck FILLED WITH SMOOTH CHOCOLATE MOUSSE! I also had a really nice Assam tea and scones. ^_^ (pic of me with the tea and treats)
               
All in all, it was a good day. That was my chocolate overdose (and high). :P
         
           
(3) Had my first driving lesson today.
       
I MOVED A CAR! It moved! It felt unreal! And....I DIDN'T STALL!!!!!!!!!!!!
       
But yeah, it was pretty cool and the instructor is really nice. She's a friend of my sisters. =]
         
She was really impressed with me, hence this was my high of the week. :D :D :D

I'm sorry to hear about the call :( Maybe they forgot and you'll get the call soon?? Stay optimistic :) Glad to know there were still highs in your week.

You did better than me Yoshitomi!
I stalled my car on the first go and my instructor called me an idiot.

I wonder why we didn't get on? :p :p :p

When I read chocolate...I thought I was going to make an appearance.
Obviously not! :p :p :p

You never know, they probably had Friday off and will phone you back on Tuesday.

If it is not meant to be it is not meant to be.
Are you applying for IT jobs? :)

Chocolate duck? As in duck meat flavoured with chocolate? Sounds rank.
