We Like Play (But Not Duncan Fisher)

The title is a reference to 3, the mobile network company, to which I went for an intereview the other day. It was the first interview I had, and it was arranged through an agency (Hudson). The job sounded ok; it was again inbound customer service, but they were paying £14k a year, as opposed to the normal £11/12k for such a job.

I went firstly to the agency to register, then was told to come back later (at 4pm). When i came back, there was myself and 3 others. We were then told there would be a formal interview and a "role-play". It all seemed a lot for the same day - normally the interview is scheduled a few days later. We were sent to the 3 headquarters, where much sitting about was done and the interview and role-play took place. The interviewer was very probing and asked a lot of questions, some of which I couldn't give a very good answer. I really fecked up the role-play as well. I didn't hear back.

I was quite keen on the job as well, because it would be working for a company in which I had some interest, and the role itself appeared far more varied then my previous customer service jobs. I had to chase up the agency to confirm I hadn't got it and I was quite disappointed. I know, it's another customer service job, but I need something just now to tide me over, and it was starting last Monday!

On Saturday there was a get-together at Waxy O'Connor's, featuring an ensemble of guys (and only guys) that did CS, and of course, ESE, at Glasgow Uni. It was good to see the old class of 2004. I also "crashed" a party with Iain (at least that's what it felt like) afterwards. Iain knew the girl in question from when in South Africa, but it was one of those segregated affairs where there's people in the kitchen, and people in another room, and barely any mingling whatsoever.
Party Rating 0.05/5 (actually it wasn't that bad).

Onto more important things, here is an update on my "unemployment viewing" (the theme being "antics" - crap idea i know)...

Twin Town: Black comedy set in Swansea, about the antics of the locals, in particular a couple of dope-smoking, car-stealing twins. Overall, entertaining.
Rating 3/5.

Withnail & I: Comedy about the antics of a pair of unemployed actors living in London who go for a weekend away in the country to Withnail's uncles cottage. Very funny and clever.
Rating 4/5.

Oh come on, if Jonathan Ross can do it, so can I!!
