Barney & Melly

I’m wondering if it is a good thing. I attended a job interview today, and received very positive feedback during the interview.  I’ve been asked to forward some contact details for some referees, so I’m somewhat guessing they liked how I performed in my interview.

Although I am slightly concerned about whether I actually want this particular job. It was all exciting until the end of the interview when I was told what sort of work I would be expected to carry out. I’m just not really sure if it really is me. You know how you have a gut feeling about a job, my gut is telling me it isn’t what I’m really after.

I’ll just have to think about it, and sit on it for a few days. I’ll let you know what happens.

Well…that last job that I spoke about…It just wasn’t meant to be. I didn’t get it. <<insert disappointed face here>> but I guess I can think of it this way, that they were considering me, as they had called up my manager for a reference.

Anyways…something ended up turning up. I got through the assessment centre, and then I got to go to this Meet & Greet. It was very helpful, I got to know more about where I would potentially be working. And it has got me so very interested, that I would like to start…like NOW! Next day I got an email informing me that I needed to go through the pre-employment checks, which are the medical assessment and the criminal check. I had my medical last Tuesday…so now I just have to wait for the notification if I am successful or not. They said at the Meet & Greet that it wouldn’t be till about October. So since I know that they wait is that long, I can put it on the back burner for the time being and concentrate on other things…like the ministry work at church, and WEDDING!!

Speaking of weddings, my brother got engaged. I have been thinking more about our wedding, and we have decided a tentative date of 12/03/2011. 18 months away. And I was thinking of maybe have the colour of my bridesmaids teal. I quite like that colour. But that too is also undecided.

Ta ta…will post back when I have more information about weddings or jobs…toodles!

According to the university enrollment website, I have ‘Passed’ the requirements for my Civil Engineering degree.

So right at the moment, I am considered a graduand, a person who has completed the requirements of the Bachelor degree, and yet hasn’t officially graduated from university. So it is a wierd time at the moment.

I don’t really think that it has sunk in that I have completed my degree. After finding out my results the other week, I haven’t really felt any different to not knowing whether I had passed or not. I still have to wait two (2) months before I actually graduate, and have to get dressed up in my gown, and put the hat on, and shake hands. Nothing really all that special to become a graduate.

I personally think the reason that it doesn’t feel any different, is because the type of work I can do won’t change. I’ve been working in an engineering firm for the past two (2) years, and now that I am a graduand, I’m still going to be doing the same type of work, so I guess it really doesn’t change for me at all.

So I’ll finish patting myself on the back for now, and let you return to your regular internet reading.
