Busy Bee

I had an interview for a store manager job today, the next step in my retail 'career'. I've got a nice, cushy little number in Laura Ashley at the moment, but I am getting so bored. It's the Sagittarius in me. Once the challenge wears off, I need to move on. This is what I mean:

2004: learning, uni, teaching job
2005: teaching- need new challenge
2006: head of drama
2007: passion goes, leave teaching, travel
2008: March- Starbucks. July-nowhere to move up, challenge gone, bored. Aug- start Laura Ashley
2009: Jan- start to feel bored. Apr- become assistant manager. June- job too easy, store too quiet, bored. Time to move on.

Luckily, employers are seeing this as me being a very quick learner, running my way up the ladder because of my abilities and enthusiasm, as opposed to my inability to stay in a job role/ job/ company for longer than a year. It really could be the former. I'll let you know in six months' time...

Today's interview looks very promising. I'm through to the next round of interviews- the first candidate to move through- and should hear from the manager soon. I think I'll like it with this company and it'll be so fast-paced that I won't be able to feel bored for a long while.

Seeing as I was up at 630am and had driven 120 miles and gone through an interview by 1045, I had lots of time and energy and inclination to do things today. I visited my whiplash-ridden dad (he was in a car accident a few weeks ago and is fine but still achy), I cleaned, did some laundry, surprised Tony with a lift home from work, posted books, shopped, bought house-warming gifts for my sister, visited my sister and made dinner. Man, I've done a lot!

I'm being picked up at 650am tomorrow for a course with work, so I ought to get under the blankets and sleep, but I've just started reading Victoria Hislop's The Island and I want to read that for a while. My busy day seems to be catching up on me now though and I'm not too sure if my eyes will allow me to read for long. I'm gonna try though.

Ps. I feel no motivation to blog via my laptop, but currently love blogging from my iPhone. Weird.
