Tuesday i managed to get all my presentation sorted, and even if i do say so myself it was really good. I was still a bit nervous though. I arrived at the vicarage at 2pm and we had coffee etc. Then it was a tour of the area. I was the second person to give my talk infront of 7 people including two of the young lads. They seemed to enjoy it, they liked my display work and laughed in all the right places. My formal interview seemed to go really well also. I finally left about 5.30 and got a taxi into town as i was meeting my friend for tea.
It was a really nice evening although my feet were killing at that point. I dont think im destined to wear heals. Anyway he was very lovely again and walked me to the station, even though his bus was right outside the pub, and i made my way home. I was gutted that if id have got into Birmingham 5 minutes earlier i could have got on my train back to Wolverhampton but alas i didnt so had to then wait around for 30mins for the next one. I finally got home about 12am as my dad picked me up from the station. Ooh nice thing happened on the journey home. I was on one of the new posh trains that has a radio built into the seat. I wasnt able to listen to it the previous weekend as it wasnt working. I needed something to keep me awake to i went to the shop bit to buy some headphones. He wasnt sure if they were working so he gave me some of the first class headphones for free just incase. They are actually quiet good, so that was a bonus. As you know i love getting free gifts with things and it was brilliant that i didnt even have to buy a magazine to get them :-)
I had to be at work the following morning, so was really tired. That evening i planned to just have a relaxing evening in. It didnt really happen though as i forgot to hand over the safe key to Chris so at 9pm my dad had to take me back to the shop to hand it over. I just put my jeans on over my pjs and put on a big cardie, so no one could tell lol
Also about 7.30ish the church i had my interview at rang. They said they really liked what i said and loved my talk, they said i have lots of gifts and came across very confident. Alas though they were giving the job to someone else. They said i needed a bit more experience in leading, but should keep going for it as they think i would be really good. I am a bit gutted as although i got to tell them loads of stuff, there were no questions that really gave me the option to tell them about all the things i have lead etc. Oh well im sure something else will come along soon. They were a great bunch of people and i hope they continue to be blessed and that the person they picked will have a great time there and be able to get involved in loads of great things.
Tonight i was at work again. Im really tired this week and i dont have another day off now till wednesday. I keep going to bed really late which is silly, i could do with a day where i go to bed at a normal time and i dont have to set my alarm so i just wake up when im ready to.
Tomorrow im on a day shift. Its going to be manic as a newspaper are giving away free DVDs again, so we are bound to have a huge queue for when we open. There is only going to be the two of us until 3pm and we also have to go and collect the change. So a fun day ahead hmmmm.
