bizarre

i'm still up on 25 peeps although it looks like it could be my last day which will be a shame...

ok so i went to this thing today at the recriutment agents and it was ok, although i did struggle to get up on time, i managed it in the end though.
i get there and it's all ok, i fill in a form or two while trying not to stare at the 2 cute receptionists.
form done, i sit and have a chat with someone about the work i'm interested in doing (pretty much anything she can throw at me) and that's ok
then she ships me back over to the 2 cute receptionists and tells them that i need to fill in some more forms and then do a computer test...boring
forms done again i have to sit and wait for a minute while again trying not to stare at the receptionists...
they set me up on the computer for the word, excel and some copy typing test...each of the firs two i had 30 minutes to do them, the final typing test had a 3 minute warm-up and then a 5 minute test, type as much as you can from the sheet in front of you...so that's about 1h10 yeah?
i finished in half that time, i didn't get everything right and i skipped some of the questions, i didn't see the point in me sitting there and fluffing up on the questions i didn't understand and risk missing out on some that i could do...so i just skipped some
after this is was back to reception (only 1 receptionist was there now, the other left for her lunch just before i started the tests) and a sit down again while i waited form someone to check my results then come and find me to chat to me about them.
when she finally came to chat to me she told me that my test results were very good (i sat there in shock because i'd basically skipped about 1/3 of each test because i was bored)
they think that they should be able to find me some work fairly soon though

after i left there i got a call from another agent who has something that she thinks would interest me (minds out of the gutter people) she said she'd forward me the details, but i've not had them yet...

the pub quiz last night was a laugh again, we won a pack of beer to go with the win from last week (which we forgot to pick up) we also came second overall...almost another bottle of wine there...
it's been confirmed that i'll be learning how to tango soon with one of the girls on the team, still no idea why i said i do it, but it should be a laugh.

still undecided about going up to cumbria tomorrow, it'll be a long trip for what';s probably only going to be an hour or two up there and a long trip back again (in answer to ash's question about commuting there...you're having a laugh love it's over 4 hours each way) so we shall have to see what time i get up in the morning, if it's early enough then yeah sure i'll head up there, if not though, i think that'll be the answer.

there's no TMI questions up yet, i'll check back over there in a bit and post as soon as i can

HNT on thursday...i'm open to requests this week as i've no idea what to post

laters peeps
