Oh dear... I've been doing so well. And thinking just last night that maybe this is sticking.
However I've just had the most god awful job interview... I wasn't that prepared, and then I was inarticulate and in those "tell me about a time when..." Questions, I used hopeless and incredibly long-winded, unflattering examples rather than perfectly apt good examples (in fewer words).
They did not sound impressed. There were numerous silences. And this was a job I really liked the sound of...
Off the phone and within 20 minutes I've had a cocktail, a mini packet of chips, a bag of Cadbury buttons, and 3 biscuits.

I had to do a mini LOL (albeit a wry one) because that sounds like exactly the sort of thing that I would do. And then half an hour later wonder why on earth I thought it was a good idea.
ReplyDeleteThese habits are pretty well ingrained and are going to take a long time to - well, uningrain. At least you're recognised the behaviour and now you can say, what would I do differently next time? That's the idea anyway!!
Hope you get good news on the job front soon.
