Ok, so I walk into the place where they are holding the Open Day for the Co-Op. Apart from the interviewers, I am the sharpest dressed motherfucker in the room. I spend a good while filling out all their stuff and paperwork. I mention that I would have been along earlier in the day, I just had to go look at a house, and the guy said he was house-hunting too. I recommended he go for Gumtree and avoid letting agents if at all possible, cos they gouge you for money. The interview went very well. I wasn't flustered like yesterday, I kicked ass and took names in this one, and I reckon I have a good chance of getting some work. When he asked me about my weaknesses, I said I was maybe too chatty, but he said that's not a weakness cos it builds customer rapport. Now to go sort out a new place to live! It is a good day to be Pixie.

Way to go, kiddo.   :)

The closer place to where I am now fell through, and I have to take a place sight unseen, from my current landlord. That will be fixed and in place on Monday, and i have ANOTHER person call me in for interview. :D My deposit from this place has been transferred over to the new place, so I have less of an outlay!

The day before I put my deposit down on the new place there was a shooting literally 2 minutes walk from the flat! I just got back from an interview with a brand new place opened that serves Mexican food (burritos, tacos, quesadillia ect) kinda in a Subway set up. it was a nice informal interview and I got there all suited and booted before the interviewer was there, I was early by 20 minutes. The interviewer had forgot my CV. It was a pleasant chat type of interview, focusing on experience and she even had a little bit of a moan about the glitches of opening a new business, which got me to show off some food hygiene knowledge.  I even got a free cup of tea. She has a dozen or so other people to interview this week and will let me know next week if I have got the job or not. I think it went well, and they are used to employing students, so they don't mind me having Tuesday nights off for D&D, or having to fit in with bus timetables.

I am starting to love my grey trouser suit and bright blue suede heels. They look the business.

The first time I lived away from my mum, a guy was murdered across the road... 2 days before I moved in.

No-one was killed, fortunately. I just took a look at the outside of the new place and it looks like it's a little cramped, and is on the upper floor which means it's going to be a bit of a bitch to get furniture into.

It's short notice and a stupid cheap rent. I mean SERIOUSLY cheap. Which is nice. It might be the only nice thing about the place, tbh.

Wait what what what

Did you say it's a place that serves Mexican food?

MEXICAN FOOD?

I am trying to imagine this.

Yea, It's a vague appropriation of Tex Mex snacks and the like. Not as nice as the Southwestern US Real Deal made by mom and pop places, or made by Real Mexicans, just pale assed white English students, and because of the rarity factor in this city, nay, in this country, it's expensive, and smaller portions than you would get in Arizona. for instance three tacos is like £3.65. whereas in 2003 I used to snag the same in AZ for $2 max.

But a job is a job.
