Monday Monday....

As usual 

I was up early this morning to go see my doctor

My sister and I set off for my 9 20am appointment 

And she went for a walk with the dogs 

While I headed in to the surgery

I had my application for the job with me

Which I filled out last night

And went over it as I sat in the waiting room

I needed two references 

So I put my elderly neighbour as one

I needed one more

So I made a call to the pizzeria owner I used to work for

I got his wife 

Who said that was absolutely fine 

It really pays off doing the right thing

And having someone who can give you a reliable character witness

As I rang off 

My doctor called me in 

I followed him in to his room

Where I settled in my usual seat

I had thought about asking him for a reference 

But I don't know if that would be appropriate 

So I decided against it

We talked for a few minutes 

I told him about the job

And he seemed genuinely delighted for me

He said that he hopes to retire there when he's older 

Gosh wouldn't the tables turn if that was the case

He wished me good luck

And to me that I am too talented to be sitting around doing nothing 

I thought that was a nice thing to say 

I collected my script 

And headed for the pharmacy

After handing in my script to the pharmacist 

I decided to head over to where the job is

And hand in my application

It was busier today

I walked to the kitchen 

Where the staff usually are

I knocked on the door

Someone answered and said they would introduce me to the manager 

I spoke to her for a few minutes

She was really lovely 

She told me that there were loads of applications 

My heart sank a bit when she said that 

She said they would go through all the applications this week

And that they wouldn't be calling everyone for interview 

But the would let me know one way or another next week

I thanked her

And headed back to the pharmacy 

You know me 

I get very excited about things

And this job is something I would love

But now I'm thinking I probably my shouldn't get my hopes up

As so many have applied

The manager dos ask me if I was available for an interview

And if I could start straight away 

Does that mean I'm going to be called?

Or did she ask everyone that?

I just dont know 

I guess now it's a waiting game

And we all know how I'm not very good at waiting 

But 

I have no other choice

At least I know that I did my best

And gave it a good shot

I could do no more

This is the first job I've applied for in years 

So if nothing else 

It's been good experience

But you guys 

I just can't help getting my hopes up

I just have this really good feeling about this place

And this job 

It's some thing I could really sink my teeth in to 

And I can't lie

I will be bitterly disappointment if it doesn't work out

In other news

I am feeling a lot better the last few days 

Physically 

I feel almost back to myself 

And my mood has picked up too

My weight has stayed the same for the past two weeks 

With no losses to report 

So that is good 

Although if I were to get this job

I need to gain a bit 

Or at the very least maintain where I am at 

It's all motivation to get well

And stay well

I guess I need to have a back up if this job doesn't work out 

Whether that be another job

A course 

Volunteer work 

I think I will wait to hear from them

And go from there

Whatever happens 

It's a learning experience 

And I can use that in the next job I apply for 

So please think of me

And wish me luck 

It looks like I'm going to need it....
