I had a kebab & chips last night & felt like a disgusting pig after it - I was really hard on myself. Even for a cheat meal I was full of regret. Had considered subway & should have went there as I'm sure I wouldn't have felt half as bad.
It's true the less you eat shit food, the less you want to. Just off to buy some scales so I can properly measure portions (small fucking portions). |

Ok that's sarcasm but I have smoked for over 20 years. Thankfully very rarely nowadays, like sometimes when I'm drinking, but mostly use an e-cig. |
How much have you lost now?

I'll check properly again in the morning. It fluctuates up & down - one day I've lost 3lb, next day it's back on. Fucked up. The mirror tells me a different story though. It looks like I've lost more. |
Was passing FourStarPizza earlier a quarter mile down my road & called in to ask if there were any jobs going. There are, & the manager gave me an application. I took it home & filled it out (a single, one-sided A4 page) & brought it back. I gave it to the manager & he took me into the back for a word.
I'll get to the point, I can have a job if I want one. The issue with it is that it is classed as one of these zero hours contracts. That's not to say that I wouldn't work a decent number of hours every week, just that he isn't in a position to give me a set number of guaranteed hours. But that's fucking annoying, for £6.50 an hour & I might be working well below enough to pay my rent & bills & child costs. I've done a little research on zero hours contracts & they just sound like a pain in the fucking arse. Not only would I be forced to apply for working tax credits due to minimum wage but on top of that it's an extra ball ache because I don't have a set number of hours & somehow have to work out what the average hours I would be working, from a zero hours contract. Plus no holiday pay or entitlements. Fucking shite. Why can't people & franchises just be straightforward & say ok 40 hours a week, instead of all this bollocks? I would have snapped his hand off earlier if it wasn't for all this agitating bullshit. But instead I'm going to think about it. On a more positive note, he told me there are vacancies needing filled for managerial & assistant manager roles, & that they are there for the taking to those who have the character & drive to take them. Basically the potential to move up fast. So maybe I could take a chance on it, but it is risky. Couple of wee hotties working there though. |

They are very short staffed hence why the literal immediate start (the "application" was actually a waste of my time) & on that basis alone I believe any potential employees coming in to help them out of a hole should be shown a little bit more fucking respect than that. I require & deserve a secure, permanent job with all the perks & entitlements. The potential of free pizza every shift was tempting but even that's not worth shooting myself in the foot over. |
Just secured a serious job interview next week with a living wage over 15k (at least to begin with).
Airtricity, home moving advisor. Which means I'm not going to be expected to sell & hit targets or any of that shit. The job entails being the go-between for current customers moving house & me taking care of the details & practicalities of their electricity (basically, but I'm sure there's more). Really excited about this one. It's right in the city about 5 minutes from me & although I was initially concerned as the guy spoke to me (just in my head, nothing he said) about not having experience in this kind of role & them being like "sorry but you don't fit the criteria"... Common sense tells me that they are aware of my skills, job experience & education, so they know what they're getting before we meet from the information on my CV, although they'll see many more sides of my personality on the day. Plus, I am 99% sure I specifically said on the "extra things we should know" box on my application, that "I may not have experienced this kind of role or working environment before, however, I'm awesome & fucking amazing.......etc etc" Was just looking at nice new suits & mentally planning to buy one 5 minutes before the call too. Maybe it's a good omen. Side note: I started an intensive driving course the other day. I'll pass my test on the 29th of July. Which I booked a month ago. |
This is from the verification email..
Please allow 2.5 hours for the Assessment Centre. The Assessment Centre will cover a Group Assessment, Maths Test, Interview, Phone Skills Assessment and Psychometric Testing (verbal and numerical reasoning). Should be a piece of piss... Probably not, but I'll be going in full of confidence, with a brand new suit on feeling like the Bollocks. My fate is in my own hands here, it's all down to me. Same with the driving. I'm getting this fucking job. |
The assessment consisted of a group activity & presentation, psychometrics, challenging maths, a role play call over the phone followed by an interview.
The only bit I was worried about was the interview but overall I'm 75% confident. Which is a decent number They said I'll hear within a week but look if they want me I'll hear tomorro. |
