Things on my mind

A few things have happened so far this week, some good, some not so, which have left me a little pre-occupied.

The good is that I have an interview for a job I applied for a couple of weeks ago! It’s the same sort of job as my current one, but is effectively a promotion, which means that while it wouldn’t be too much out of my comfort zone, it would be more challenging and give me more responsibility. It’s also in a different town, so all in all it would be at least some of the change I’ve been wanting.

As I think I said before it’s not my dream job, and I’m not sure how much I really want it, but it is a job I could do and would probably be happy doing and I will try to prepare well for the interview. If nothing else it will be good interview practice and will give me an idea of how my interview technique is, as it’s been a while since I had one. It was also a boost to my confidence to know that my skills and experience are good enough to get me an interview. I am quite nervous already (that feeling started as soon as I read the email), but hope that will subside.

The not so good is a couple of things. My friend T is not doing too well at the moment. It seems the older guy from her work who she hoped she might start a relationship with has been treating her badly, and she is feeling quite depressed. I would love to be able to do something to make her feel better, but at the moment all I can really do is be there for her as and when she needs me.

The other not so good is a family problem which I don’t want to go into too much detail about. I hope it will work itself out, but at the moment I’m a little pessimistic.

I have seen Chatty Guy a couple of times. He was his usual talkative, teasing self, but did mention an attractive woman he briefly spoke to on his way home from the Christmas dinner. If he was interested in me in any way surely he wouldn’t be telling me about finding other women attractive? I haven’t managed to try any interested-in-him signs yet. Actually I’m not too sure what I can do in front of my colleagues. Maybe I’ll try a little emailing?
