What a curious day.It started with a mad rush to find various bits of long ago stashed paperwork, birth certificate and suchlike, stuff needed in a pre-interview assesment for a job I've applied for.
There were 5 of us taking the assesment test, all maybe slightly nervous, as no-one really enjoys that kind of thing, and we sat making smalltalk before the test about how irrelivant the things are etc. Anyway, the thing was an absolute piece of cake, and I was astounded when at the end of it, only three of us were found to have passed. If that wasn't surprise enough, the three of us were then given a tour of the facility, and then given on the spot interviews. Talk about not beating about the bush.
I suppose I give myself a 50-50 chance of getting the job, as my previous record isn't exactly a shining example of how to put a job before all other considerations... something companies tend to look for over here. Sod that. A job serves my purposes, not the other way around.
Anyway, I'm finding the prospect of working again rather... odd. I wouldn't say I entirely need it for financial purposes, having found a lifestyle that I'm enjoying immensely, that can be fairly easily achieved on my meagre income, but my social concience tells me it's time to get off my butt and do something.
I do wonder how having a healthy income again would affect my lifestyle. Being very happily single, with none of the expenses involved with having a girlfriend and her kids, along with having reinvented myself over the past 16 or so months into some kind of bohemian egomaniac, I can picture various excessive scenarios.
Still, I'm certainly not counting my chickens yet, as while there's a serious risk of finding myself gainfully employed again, it's by no means certain, and in truth, I'm not that bothered either way.... just curious.
