Survived interview. Thankfully shortest interview I have ever had. Naturally I forgot my ID documents and DBS form (for a school-based job) so had to go back after with them. Fortunately I had a very obliging mother-in-law who drove me back and forth. Now to crash out on the couch.

Returned safely after the voyage from Swindon. Lego bricks purchased at the Lego show have been unpacked and put ready to be used to swap out for wrong coloured bricks on an existing build. A fine, fine weekend of bricks,robots, banter and fine company was had.
Back to work tomorrow...

Okay, so when I was little I LOVED the Bunny Cuddles picture stories in the Playhour magazine. This obscure comic was about a bunny who loved jam and his entire life was based around plots to eat more jam. Now I have some original artwork! (this is where jAaM was inspired)

I nominate you as my champion. Didn't get the job, but did get told I was very impressive etc etc. And also just in time for when I appear to have reached my limit today. I shall retire to the couch again while clicking 'refresh' on my medical record in case my test result appears. Shockprowl, what happened? You were meant to be my champ??

I... I don't know how to answer that..?
I'm more a... motivational champion. "Fight, you Bitch", etc. You know, irrationally keep you going. I... I don't have, like, ACTUAL ANSWERS.
But, you sound smart enough. And your Lady-friend seems to like you. You'll make it. Just get 'Ed Harris' about it.

I have been trying to start a volunteer role for 4 weeks now. I am stuck in a loop of the same emails over and over as I cannot access the thing I need in order to start doing the thing. In other circumstances I would have packed in it by now but it is rather something I need to do to help my employment prospects. This feels like a metaphor for all my other efforts to try to actually get somewhere in life. Almost trashed the laptop in sheer frustration earlier.

I need to access a rota and forum so I can start. I keep asking how to do it. I also keep asking about when to schedule a video call to verify my identity for a disclosure check. Sigh.

The first of 7 weekends away in a row this weekend, down to London for the first NFL game of the year (for those interested the next 2 weeks are 2 more NFL games in London, then I have 4 weeks away at the international rugby including 3 weekends in Edinburgh!)

Not a good day. Lots of things from the past haunting me, not helped with some pain stuff. Early night I think.

Sounds like you went toe to toe with a hard-ass Navy S.E.A.L. suffering from pressure-induced psychosis.
