I got a job!

I finally managed to get a job! Perhaps not a classic move for a former PhD student but I am now a very happy store assistant in the shoe department at the new Debenhams in Bangor. I've been training this week and next week we get to play with the stock before opening the week after. Yay me!

Not quite the tempest we expected

Well the 'storm' was frankly disappointing! It did sound quite windy and rainy last night but no thunder or lightening. Good for the ferry port I'm sure but as a spectator it was quite dull :(

Batten down the hatches! There's a storm brewing!

Well the sun is shining at the moment but according to Radio 1 newsbeat the worst storm in 80 years is due to hit Anglesey tonight. Holyhead port is being closed because they fear it will be so bad. I thought the weather had been too good to be true! I'll update you on whether we've been blown away in the gales tomorrow.

In other news I may be close to getting employment. I had an interview for sales assistant in a shoe shop the other day and I've got another interview this coming Friday so watch this space. Not exactly making the best use of my 8 years of higher education but it'll do for now ;) Today I will be mostly filling in application forms for high street banks in an attempt to get a job that may one day become a career. Fingers crossed!

Other than that its been thesis thesis thesis.
