Down time

The last couple of days have been lazy. I finally awarded myself a couple of days off, and started to really enjoy them - I've no idea why I didn't do that earlier, just been working away much as I used to. So after the interview yesterday I did some filing for the family business and cajoled stu through the entire 2 and a half hours...he was entertaining, if a little whingy...

The interview itself went really well, I even got thanked for a confident and self assured interview, they also liked my portfolio, however the job just wasn't for me, both they and I could see that, however rather than being rude and abrupt (as so many people can be) they were charming and friendly. It really did go well, however I won't be getting the job I expect, and anyway I'm not really interested in being a supermarket designer in Moscow....the opportunity would be really exciting for someone with a couple of years experience, who'd be happy to work on their own on a multi-billion dollar project. I'm really looking for more of a junior position, almost "apprentice"-like so that I can hone and develop my skills.

Mum also returned today, so Stu and I whizzed round the house to hoover and clean and generally look like we have been looking after the house in her absence, testament to our skills at stealth cleaning, she didn't mention a thing when she got back...

I've also just booked my train tickets to London for the New Designers exhibition to see all my course mates who where chosen to exhibit. I look forward to seeing the cream of the industrial design graduates, however with somewhat of a heavy heart...I will pale into comparison with these people, they really are the big fish. I, clearly, am not.

Despite my claims that I've been having a break, I've really been up to quite a lot...
