I GOT A JOB!!! IN FACT, I GOT THE JOB!!! There just aren't enough exclamation marks to sum up how I'm feeling. It starts in two weeks, I'm going to be a project worker with young asylum seekers. I hope I can remember how to do it, it's been a while since have done anything remotely work related. I hope they like Neighbours, always a good conversation starter. I know I said that I was going to let my breasts do the talking at the interview, but despite wearing my clingiest top, they refused to play ball. Chicken fillets would be a flattering way of describing them these days. So instead I just had to ramble and ramble, and they nodded and seemed to like it, so I rambled some more about equal opportunities and multidisciplinary thingummyjigging. I've now got ten days to learn what these things actually are.
In other news...well actually there is no real other news. My flatmate is still being very intense. Am sat on the sofa, quietly counting down the minutes till Corrie, and he'll come in attempt to and start a serious discussion. Last night's topic was: 'why do you think so many marriages break down in the UK?' I blamed the weather. He blamed our lack of Christian morals. The divorce rate would probably be lower if we were more religious, but I have a sneaking suspicion that murder rates would rise quite sharply.
Man on the train today, coming out with the most brilliantly boring things eg:
'The car park cost 90p. I put a pound in, but didn't get any change'
'Have you ever been to Southampton on the train before? The line runs parallel to the M27.'
I knew without even turning round that he would be wearing brown leather slip-ons, golfing socks, and nylon trousers. I was very pleased that he met my stereotypical assumptions to the letter.
