Job...
Might get a job soon. Vibes are running at about 62% positive (highest for last 6 months) but we will see. Historically I can read situations poorly! Will probably have to leave Aberdeen (for how long....?) if I want to put a red pen through this chapter of my life!

Waiting......balancing
The long wait is pretty hard to handle (I am discovering this again and again....) emotionally, psychologically and in any other way. Do I relax and let events just unfold? I am inclined to get involved where I shouldn't, think too much, work myself into a quiet frenzy and shed silent tears. Not dealing with situation very well....!!
waiting....
Waiting for feedback from interviews is tough. What is happening, how long, turnaround times, plan plan plan.......still better to be stressing about this than get no interviews at all..!

Telephone interview
Thinking about face to face interviews can be stressful. All the prep, research, presentation, hair, choice of suit, choice of shirt and tie, eye contact and firm handshakes. All quite tough going. Not to mention perspiration.
Telephone interviews require same prep but can be done naked if you choose.
Phone
Had telephone interview today (NCR as last week) and it went much better, again, than I had anticipated. I am being a bit too glass half empty rather than look at possibilities and opportunities. Is this a Scottish trait or just me? Because I felt last weeks manager handled it poorly I expected same again but surprise surprise I was wrong. Manager was good and we spoke at length. Reasonably confident in a pessimistic way....
