Patience is a funny thing... Like my current situation, waiting for
the call to say I've got the job... Waiting makes the day seem so much
longer! Trying to fill the hours in the day isn't exactly hard, I've
been doing okay in keeping myself busy, but I just wish the phone would
ring! I do hope it comes in the next couple of days, it'd be nice to
know that I've either got the job or not...!
On other matters, how's everyone else out there doing? I've been so thankful to my good friends here for taking me in and looking after me in this 'not-so-nice' time in my life, I thought I should put my issues aside and use my spare time proactively! Being the kind of guy that I am, if anyone out there (in my region, obviously) has any jobs on hand that I might be able to help out with, please feel free to let me know! I'm fairly handy, around the house and stuff, but my specialty is of course mechanical stuff... So, this is me officially putting myself out there as a 'hired hand' as such... I'm sure someone will put me to work! :-)
I know my posts have been short and sparse as of lately, which stems from the lack of things going on here for me lately, and I do hope to be able to turn that around soon enough...! I don't want to be posting up stuff that won't be of any interest to anyone reading, but I do still want to keep this blog going. I thought I'd ask if anyone out there in the Interweb has anything they'd like my perspective on, kind of like a 'Letters to the Editor' type of arrangement... I know there's a few of you out there, my counter says I've accumulated almost 700 'reads' in under 2 months! So start commenting, and give me something to discuss here while things are stalling in my world!
I must admit a little bit of selfishness with this blog, not so much 'ulterior motives' per say, but there's been a thought playing in the back of my mind as of late... I've always wondered about furthering my studies, along the lines of a Journalism qualification. I have been using my blog as a kind of 'practice', figuring out how to put my thoughts into words that actually make some sense to anyone out there. I've always thought that it would be pretty cool to write reviews and articles for a magazine such as 'Top Gear' or 'Autocar' or even a Motorcycle magazine (once I build up my riding skills of course). Everyone that I've talked to that has been following this blog has said I'm a very good writer, and that I should do something along the lines of writing in my career... Personally, I know it'd be a pretty huge decision to go 'back to school' again, however I am looking into extramural courses, so I can study and work at the same time...
Gees I just wish the phone would ring already! Lol!
Until next time...

So, sorry again, it's been a pretty slow last few days... Not much to report on really, I'm still waiting for a phone call from the job interview I attended last week.
Well, actually, I did talk to the Service Manager again, briefly - I rang him to enquire whether or not they'd filled the position yet, and he told me he still had a couple of people to interview, and that he'd probably be making a decision next week. However, within about two minutes of that call, a lady from H.R. called me back, to ask about my referees, and to confirm what my expectations would be if I got the job... She gave me the feeling I'm the top candidate so far! So I'm still rather optimistic about it, hoping to get a phone call back tomorrow, as I know the Service Manager is off to Europe on Tuesday, so hopefully they'll fill the position before he goes...!
Oh, and while I'm here, I should let you all know that I've found another place to stay until I get back on my feet again, some of my biker mates kindly took me in. So for now, I'm doing okay. :-)
So hopefully, there'll be some good news tomorrow! Everyone knows I'll be completely stoked if I do get the position, so keep your fingers and toes crossed for me!
Until next time...
