Who's On-Line Now?

Fairly Productive Day

Today I've done more than normal, which doesn't mean much when it comes to me as I am quite lazy on my days off.
I started the day by packing up some super-hero figures and posting them off as I'd sold them via Gumtree. More space created and a little bit of money made. If the buyer likes them he may buy some of the remaining Star Wars stuff I have.
I also prepared some comics for a potential Gumtree buyer, fingers crossed for that.
I did grocery shopping, preparing for going back to work tomorrow.
I also had a good chest and back session at the gym, and a bit of flirting in the sauna afterwards too, shame that the changing room was so busy at that time. I am feeling incredibly horny now.
To top it all off I chased up about my interview last week, to find out if I had a second interview or not. I had to leave a voicemail message, but got a phone call back later and a confirming email to tell me that I HAVE got a second interview. It will be next Tuesday and I have been sent 6 documents relating to a single incident and I have to prepare a presentation for the interview.
Pretty straight forward really, I just have to decide if I want to attempt a PowerPoint presentation, as I've never done one before. I've read through 2 of the documents so far and made notes of the pertinent points, I'll compare the details for each document and use the data that is consistent and then decide on the rest of the data. The trouble is, I am working for 2 days (tomorrow and Friday), then I am watching the Steelers play and participating in a Quiz night with them on Saturday (so will probably be hungover on Sunday) and I have to send my presentation in advance on Monday by 16:00. Not a lot of time, considering I have trouble concentrating at home, but I should manage it okay. I'll have plenty of time to consider all the data at work tomorrow and Friday and maybe even begin writing the presentation. I will try and set up a PowerPoint presentation during Sunday (if I've finished writing it), just to give myself options for the actual presentation.
More news is that my uncle, diagnosed with a brain tumor last week, had an operation today and the reports that I've had back from my sisters are that it has gone well, so far. We will have to wait and see what happens now.

Holding thumbs for the interview. You can do it, stick your mind to it.

Stay well

Is this a good time to learn? Maybe you have a friend more familiar with Power Point that can help you.


"The trouble is, I am working for 2 days (tomorrow and Friday), then I am watching the Steelers play and participating in a Quiz night with them on Saturday (so will probably be hungover on Sunday) and I have to send my presentation in advance on Monday by 16:00"

Really? Is the job with the Steelers? Maybe this is one time you could skip that. PRIORITIES!

Jeff,
I know what you mean, but I thought that Saturday with the Steelers could relax me a bit and allow me to feel like I hadn't spent the whole weekend on the presentation. Also I had booked the Saturday and Sunday off work especially to go to the Steelers matches.
As it turns out, I'm skint, so couldn't go anyway. So spent the whole of Saturday working on (and practically finishing) the presentation.
So it's all good (except for the fact that my printer is not working, and my flatmates one, that he said I could use, doesn't have a power lead).
Thanks for your advise though, always appreciated.
