When I went to bed last night, I had a bit of a sore throat, but I thought I would wake up today feeling much better. I would go to Tesco, get nice food in, and then just be generally useful throughout the day.
It wasn't meant to be. I woke up with a dry mouth and unable to swallow because my throat hurt so much. I stayed in bed all day drinking lots of tea, water and orange juice, and I feel much better now. However, I have just taken a shower and got dressed because I have to help the Catwoman and Friends move tonight, and I am exhausted. So, if I get this tired from showering and dressing, how many boxes will I be able to lift? Maybe I can just carry all the dvds one by one, yeah, that sounds like a good idea. They are only moving three doors down, so I am hoping I will survive (and apparently, there's fish and chips at the end of it, so that should be able to keep my spirits up!).
In other news, I had a phone call today from the temp agency I am with saying the company which didn't want me to be a Translation Project Co-ordinator (not enough experience/confidence and not the right personality) or a Receptionist (don't own a car), now wants me to interview for Interpretation Project Co-ordinator. I am confused because it sounds exactly like the TPC job they didn't want me for, but if I get a job out of it, I'm not really going to complain.
Also, I have handed in an application form at Waterstones, so if they both want me, I'll feel so wanted! And torn, because I have no idea which job would be more fun. I guess I'll have to go for the one that pays more! Hehe.

If you get an interview at waterstones let me know and ill ask my sister for some tips for you. She worked at a waterstones for 2 years and ottakars for another two years and when she was at ottakars she was one of the people who would be in interviews.
Retail doesnt tend to pay hugely well, but if you were thinking that you maybe would like to go into publishing at some point, bookselling is a really useful thing to have on your CV. If i dont get a job straight after the MA im going to try and get a bookselling job at lincoln waterstones.
Plus you get free and discounted books! Although, you do have to deal with obnoxious members of the public. Oh and Emma Mason used to work at waterstones with my sis. And as we well know, she's awesome
(im not trying to sway you towards waterstones by the way, its just i have absolutely no experience of translating firms, lol)
Ill be keeping my fingers crossed for you for both jobs. Ooooh the luxury of choice! hehe
Sorry you've been feeling poorly my little chickadee. Hope fish and chips have revived you!
