    job interview done, gah i never want to do a video interview again, you have 60 seconds to think about a question written in text (the usual hr ones , times where you showed in initiative, blah blah) and you answer them out loud...to yourself, into a webcam with nobody watching or listening, just the cam recording, you have 2minutes, I went down the route of simple straightforward answers not rambling just to pad out the 2 mins so hopefully thats a good way to do it, I haaaaate bigging myself up in interviews, if I had my cv my way itd be this:

    "I'm good at what I do, been doing it for over 10 years, you seem sound to work for, gimme a job cos I wont steal anything and I'm house trained"

    God I didn't think that's what you meant by video. Thought you just meant like a skype interview which I have done before but I think I'd make a balls of something like that. So werid not to have someone to talk too, fair play!

    Ha, sorry :p

    I know someone who did that kind of video interview and that's where they were applying. But I guess other places are probably doing similar ;)

    Don't you have lots of cake? :)

    Don't you have lots of cake? :)

    If someone else makes it it has less calories, especially chocolate biscuit cake. When I make it and see a pound of butter melting with chocolate and syrup my arteries clog just looking at it, if someone else makes it it's better! :)

    And my cakes are for other people, which is good or I'd eat them ALL.

    Spoke to my brother and sister on Facebook tonight, first proper chat we've had this week, delighted to have finally spoken to them properly, esp after the week we've had.

    Can't wait to see them, only a week and a bit left. Hope it flies by!

    Wiiiiiiiiiiiine now :D

    Hard been away from the ole siblings alright isn't it! Have one in Oz and I miss them a lot! ESP at the moment when I'm going through something tough!

    Another few posters gone (at least 2 for the exact same reason) in a fairly short period of time. :( That's a shame.

    This is actually quite a well shot video on youtube:

    Some people are so wonderfully creative.

    And Links: Ewwwwwwwwww is the only response to the "incident" in your bathroom (let us not dare to speak of it! :P) It's a funny thing that you see in people's minds sometimes though. That what's clean under condition x is clean under condition y. Very awful though. /shudder
    At least you didn't let it spoil your night. :)

    It is hard, both of my siblings live in the U.K and I am in Ireland so I don't get to see them often.

    We nearly lost our father this week so it was much harder than it usually is, especially with work/uni etc getting in the way.

    At least I am going to see them soon, that is something to look forward too after this dreadful week.
