Sunny Sunday!

Well the weather here is GLORIOUS!
I had a lovely long walk this afternoon with Maisie and got a bit lost which made it an even longer walk .........

Sorry - no crafty reveals today - Firstly I sort of failed with doing a LO each day last week - life got in the way - BUT I did 3 and I actually think that is a bit OK. (Yeah I only showed 2 as one is for Lin and not got permission to show here - I am sure when she receives it in the mail she may show it on her blog)

I have spent a stack of time sorting through photos - and I really don't know where to start to be honest.
My lounge is like a bombsite with albums and photos everywhere.

I have started on a LO tonight - anything to avoid actually planning for my interview tomorrow.
I am dreading it to be honest - walking into the Head Office of my old company - I mean who might I "bump into" I am in terror. Better get up early and do hair and make up.
Bought new trousers today for it cos new have the perfect crease in the front and I cannot be trying to achieve that at silly o clock.

Will let you know how it goes ............. gotta go now feel sick thinking about it - in fact do I even remember where Head Office is lol
Thanks for all your kind words on my previous post - having been a City Chick before I kind of know what I am letting myself in for if I get offered it and accept. Think I am on a mission to screw up the interview and have the decision made for me to be honest. I like my easy little life!

Love Bex xx

What's an LO?

Bex said...

OMG Del is this a trick question?

OK a LO is a "Layout" read it as you will!!!!

It is of course a simple scrapbooking term for a page but hey - make me laugh with your take on it.
I need a laugh - I feel sick with fear about tomorrows interview ...........
In fact I may go to bed and think of answers to the shit they will throw at me xxx

Hey Bex!!

Sorry I haven't replied sooner - my parents went on the 'must get every room spotless this weekend' blitz, and I couldn't really sneak a subtle look.
Caught my dad looking at the photos, and his first words were, "God, don't I look a gonk!" Ha ha!! My mum looks like she put something potent in her bouquet, but I suspect it was her not wearing her glasses in the church!!
Weird seeing relatives I never knew, and old colleagues my Mum still meets up with.

As for the card, I think we should 'Bex it up' and go for a concertina design...

I should be able to e-mail you some pics before 7am, and I'm asking my grandparents about any dates and special words you can incorporate.

PS - I didn't know what a LO was either, and was waiting for someone else to ask!!

...I wondered at first if it had anything to do with Princess Lo (Lori), Molly/Ballerina Gurl's friend, the blogger with that little green toy frog (Prince Charming in Training!) she takes everywhere!!!

Are you sure Easy Life is the right phrase, I mean no matter what people choose to do to be commited to and make a difference in life is not easy. I would say you are choosing to take a less resistant path. Thats a better way to put it. A creative mind is not best exercised in a boring office job. Be confident with you choices and spread your wings and be free..


Smile, life is good

All the best, tomorrow (actually today your time!) I interviewed at my old company a few months ago. You're right - it was very strange walking back into headquarters and even stranger talking to old co-workers. Some thought I was crazy to consider coming back and others, well, I'm not sure what they thought. Luckily I didn't have to make the decision as to whether I wanted to come back or not. I left knowing I had the job if I wanted it, but actually was never offered it. The company put themselves up for sale shortly thereafter. I think that my old boss knew it was going to happen and didn't put me in the position of leaving a good job to take a job with an uncertain future.

Have to confess as well, that I wasn't sure what LO stood for either. I can't wait for Delbut's definition of layout!

Glad you had nice weather and a long walk. They are calling for snow here!

hey Bex, I'm 12 hours ahead of you here in NZ - so I know you did just FINE ! LOl !

Hope you are feeling less 'sick' now. I certainly know that feeling !

Delbut said...

Bex, just picture them naked when they ask you silly questions! It worked for me. Well, they actually were naked. That's what you get when you apply for a job as porn star. I didn't get the job but the practicle test was a blast!

They too mentioned an LO. To them it meant Long One. what that referred to was a bit of mystery til they pointed and sniggered at me.Ah well. I talk a good shag, anyway.

Just flash the bay blues, sweetie. No, that's sexismist. Use your intelligence! No..Baffle the buggers with science. That only works when you are applying to be a scientist...AH, yes! Lie through your teeth. Yes.

Delbut said...

please substitute the word practical for thw made-up one of practicle, which i just used...but only to see if you were paying attention. (phew, i think i got away with that).

Suesjoy said...

hee hee that boi is 2 funny! Nice to see he didn't let us down!

So how did it go Bex???

I think it would be such a blast to intentionally mess up an interview if you didn't really want the job.
I hate it when they ask idiotic questions like: "what is your greatest flaw?"
I actually said once (and I actually kinda wanted the job) "Oh I can't stand being bored."

What I meant was, boredom is the devil's workshop and gets me into ALL KINDS of trouble...
My major flaw is that I am chronically 5 minutes late (roughly!). I think that's a passive-aggressive thing.
I also have authority issues...if I don't like my boss...I will never, ever kiss her/his butt. That's why I didn't get a promotion when I worked at a university for 7 years! I didn't care because I only was there to get my degree for next to nothing.
Anywho...would love to hear how you deliberately messed up, if you did at all!


Ha ha Ben! I met Lo's Prince Charming this past weekend in Vegas!
We made out in the backseat of Molly's car. :)
