roll with it

left work a couple hours early at 3pm and went to my interview today, or not as it turns out. i got there and the guy that was supposed to interview me came down and said he thought that the interview was at 2pm. i told him that i told the recruiter on the phone and by email that i could only do 3pm and that was the time she had agreed the interview would be.
he said we should reschedule for next week. i thought he would have gone ahead with it and just done the interview but he didn't. i told him i had taken time off work especially for it but he didn't seem that fussed. even in the 5 minutes of talking to him he came across as a bit of a shithead. i was a little fucked off with the whole situation. i had to be really careful and book the time off so as not to arouse too much suspicion at my current job, and now they want me to do it again next week. its definitely going to look suspicious if i ask for more time off next week. my current bank got burned when one of their staff jumped ship and i suspect they know what the tell tale signs are and probably suspect something already.

i am almost minded to tell the company i went to see today to go fuck themselves and to not bother rescheduling the interview. shit, if someone has made the effort to come down and see you even if its not when you were expecting them, its a bit of a shitty thing to send them away and make them come back. i assume they had everything prepared for when they wrongly were expecting me at 2pm. why not just go with it instead of being a asshole about it. something has obviously gone wrong in the scheduling,..... but we got to make the best of it, improvise, adapt to the environment, darwin, shit happens, i-ching whatever man, we got to roll with it.....
(from the film collateral)

and to top it all off its a fucker to get to their office. i thought i was in a shit part of town but this new place is even worse, if you can believe thats possible. its fucking horrible. the only saving grace is the money but you know what....i could see myself getting really annoyed with the travel in about 3 weeks, let alone 3 months and then i would have to bale again.

.....anyways i have to see another place tomorrow lunchtime. this time its in a nice part of town and its really convenient to get to and they might have a really cool office as they are a company with quite a cool reputation a bit like apple or nintendo but not them, but a little bit like them.
lets hope they are expecting me.

football got cancelled for the 2 week in a row. a couple of the guys went to a concert tonight and so we were short of numbers. i hope this is not the last of football and we get to play next week. i need to play.

today i have mostly been listening to madina lake - house of cards
