one offer

i had that short telephone interview a couple of weeks back which was pretty straightforward, and after it they said they would call me in for a proper face to face interview. i didnt hear anything from them for the last couple of weeks but yesterday i got a call from the agent and he said the bank wanted to offer me a contract.

its all very strange. they have never met me, they have spoken to me on the phone for 20mins and now they want to hire me????. they have given me the vaguest outline of what the job will be. weird thing is that they are paying quite a bit of money, but it all feels so amateurish despite them being a big bank.

i accepted it because its not like i have any other solid offers at the moment. will just have to see how it goes. i think the next couple of weeks will be spent on the usual security checks they make you go through whenever you start work at a bank. in the meantime there are a couple of other good roles i am up for and will blow this out if any of them come through. this situation is a carbon copy of what happened here. its like groundhog day and now is also the time things might come rushing through. have always said that i would allow myself to be unproffessional once and walk out in mid-contract if something better came up. i still have my unproffessional token. what are the chances i will have to use it in a few weeks.

had football on wednesday night and it was fantastic as always. i think i would be the happiest person in the world if i could play football everyday, although my knee is a bit sore at the moment so its probably a good thing i have a week of rest before we play again.

not much else happening aside from the usual shit. someone i know died on tuesday night in a motorcycle accident. he wasnt a friend of mine, just someone who was a friend of a friend. i have always fancied getting a nice bike but they are just too dangerous. when i was 4 my dad had a motorcycle accident and broke his leg, and was in hospital for 6 weeks. he hasnt been on a bike since. if i lived somewhere not so congested and was close to quiet rural roads it might be worth getting a nice ducati or honda for leisure riding.



above is a picture of my lovely new flat. have been taking friends round to see it this week. sometimes when you buy something, you then see something a while later that is better. it was like that when i bought my bicycle, but it hasnt happened with my flat. it was a ton of money but no regrets and havent seen anything i like better.

its a £90m lottery jackpot tonight so i bought a ticket. actually i bought 2 tickets so that if the first one was not the winning numbers i have a backup and that one will definitely win. i have picked out a nice house for about £3.25m and a nice nissan gt-r. will also be off to argentina for a week or two as well.

today i have mostly been listening to the cure - trust
