That's right; I got a job!
It's for 4 weeks, working for Dunelm Mill, a British chain store that sells fabrics and furniture and linen and stuff. A new branch of it is opening in my town in a few weeks, so I'll be working over the opening period. If all goes well, I've a chance of being offered full-time employment afterwards (and if not, at least I can finally put something on my CV). Also, by the time the 4 weeks are over, the Christmas season will be starting, and then why train some new people when you already have some lanky bloke to hand who at least knows where the kitchenware goes?
After many months of not doing anything for most of the time due to my inability to get employed, the thought of having to work full-time is rather daunting, and I'm feeling a bit nervous. My general social ineptness isn't helping, but then I did well enough to get through the interview (
) so I must be able to do something right.
Anyway, next time I'm on OWF it'll probably be after my first day, so at least I'll know a little more about what to expect by then. It's gonna be weird not having so much free time though. The problem with being idle is that it's really hard to give up.
So yeah, first Actual Job. Procrastinating going to bed by posting blog. Haven't actually quite finished all of the paperwork I should have.
So long my friends; if I'm not back by tomorrow evening, avenge me (or wait longer).
