Interview & Food

The two very important subject, indeed!!

Well, just got back from the interview. It went as well as it can be I suppose! :-) Now it's the waiting game. If the feeling is mutual, I go back for Round 2 with the Finance Director and also to take a test!! I hate those tests...they are designed to stress you out - worse than the SATs, and nothing else, in my opinion! And I sincerely believe that's the end goal of the test. I cannot believe for a second the test truly determines one's worth/abilities. I stink at it but it doesn't mean I am incapable of a job well done should I join the company. Anyway, I guess I will wait to hear from the headhunter for feedback from them - met two people today. The Diageo office is georgeous (yes, I am learning to use adjectives like the Brits now! cracks me up....), situated in what they called Edinburgh Park. It's a "park" created to house global & local headquarters for all the big companies ie RBS, HSBC, etc. etc. etc. It's a concrete jungle in the true sense of the word. Anyway, at the lobby of Diageo, you'll find a cafeteria/restaurant. Apparently, they used to serve alcohol and folks used to hop in for lunch and a glass of wine. Not bad. Ha!

Well, many of you have asked about the food here. To be honest, all we see in every corner (more than Starbucks, McDonalds, Chinese takeaways or Chippy eateries) is Indian food! For those of you who know me well, I am in heaven! There will never be an unfulfilled Indian food craving! That's the beauty of being in city centre I suppose. You get eating places every corner you turn, literally. It's practically like living in Manhattan. The only fuuny thing about all the Indian restaurants is the all offer - curry, kebab and pizza! Random?!

Yea! I finally found the place where I saved your blog! It was "missing"! So I had to find out what I was missing - besides you two, of course! - and I've been reading when I was supposed to be working on my union reports. (Bad girl!) Just wanted to check in and say hi, and to let you know you're in our prayers daily! (Craig said hello too!)

Thanks Lori for praying for us. We sure need it! We are frequently praying for the church as well. I hear you have met the new pastor. I hope you will extend a warm Christian welcome to him and help him adjust to the area and the church...:-)
