Was this such a good idea?
So, apparently the Crown Commission got their dates mixed up, so the interview is NEXT Thursday (facepalm). So, more time to prepare, I suppose. But I still don't know how I join the actual interview - I've just been told it'll be on Google Hangouts, which I haven't used before.
And I'm wondering if I've sold myself short? It's a sideways move salary wise, with the aim being to just get a foothold in another organisation. But when my regrade is actually looking like it might happen this time (is it 3rd or 4th time lucky...?), it's on the edge of being a downwards move! Still interview practice is interview practice.
I had one of those weeks where I didn't have a moment to breathe - but I couldn't actually tell you what I've done without looking at my calendar. My calendar is also my to do list. It scares everyone who looks at it - including me, sometimes!
I've finished 'Northanger Abbey' and am moving on to 'Persuasion' - my favourite Austen book. Such a contrast to NA, too :D I don't have a physical copy of 'Emma', so I'll have to turn to my '100 Classic Books' cartridge on my DS. I'm thinking I might just work my way through the whole lot. Maybe...
Otherwise, autumn is really kicking in, now. The trees are mostly bare and there's a real snap in the air in the mornings. And I'm having to turn the light on for the last hour or so of work.
Oh, and I've claimed the tax rebate for expenses due to working from home. It's about £25 a month but if we leave it until the end of the tax year, we'll have a nice amount to do something with - or to leave in the bank for a bit longer and do something nice with it when we can do family stuff again.
We're pretty much resigned to not being able to Do Christmas Properly - just hope we'll be in some type of normality by Easter!
