Interviews and other things that come to mind

I had my interview on Monday, it was unusual...We as a group (there was four of us) had to make and present a 'product' and what market and price point we would sell it at. Which was fun, got to play with glue and glitter and the interview itself seemed to go okay but I didn't get the job *sigh* back to the job search again.

Had my Mindfulness support group on Wednesday and chatted about this and that and did a standing meditation which was led by our guru on such matters, he is very into Buddhism and can tell you all about it. It was very nice to catch up with some of the group and meet some new faces.

Went back to one of the free to play MMO's I have on the puter Guild Wars 2 and have been enjoying it. First time I played it I think I had too many expectations on what it should be rather than just playing it and figuring it out but coming back to it after quite a while I just went with it and found it enjoyable.

So I got another book from my volunteering gig called Queen Victoria's Book of Spells, it's an anthology of Steampunk type stories and looks good.

Of Doctors, books and annoyances

So today was my doctors day and she was very understanding and helpful which sometimes is half the battle. She made sure that I saw a referral sent so that I wasn't worrying about it and upped my meds which while I didn't really want to do it, it is what is needed right now.

On to a happier note I've been reading one of the books I bought on Friday (Spike and Co.) which is very good and an interesting insight into the the comedy of the late 50's and early 60's of which I already knew a little bit about already from being interested in Round the Horne and the Goons and looked into the background of both.

And so to annoyances my sister has been fighting with ESA to get money and they are being reluctant to give her it because they keep reading the wrong bit of information. Hopefully this will be sorted shortly when she gets in touch with the advisor who had dealt with this before with her JSA. Considering these are the same people who lost three of my sick notes I am not holding my breath.

But mostly a good day as I came out with the result I wanted from the doctors and have found a good book.
