I have a job interview on the 24th of this month for a job I really so very much want (Hospital Ward Admin) and I'm so very excited because I hadn't heard back from them for weeks and thought that I had been rejected. Then suddenly job interview. I'm so happy.
That happened to me last year, I applied for the job in November 2012 and never heard anything back so assumed that I hadn't even got through to the interview section. Then in February last year I got called for the interview...which I was 20 minutes late for...somehow must have wowed them at the interview for that not to matter and within 2 months had moved to a new town and new job. Well, same job just full time. Having worked here for a year and a half, I have seen how slowly everything happens when it comes to employing new staff, so I'm not surprised it took so long to hear anything back.

Mario Kart 8.
I've never played a Mario Kart game before, so part of the reason for my pain is the fact that I'm pretty terrible, but is common to get hit by 4 shells in a row, then bumped off the track damn near once every prix?
Yes. Yes it is, the Mario Kart that was released on the Wii was pretty much unplayable for me because no matter what you did, the rubber banding AI would screw you over. Getting into first wasn't so much the problem, it was staying there that was the hard part. I would get hit with shells, squids, boom blocks and anything else the game could throw at me to screw me out of my win. One of the worst games I've ever played. I played Mario Kart 8 on a Wii U in GAME recently and while I will admit the rubber banding was still there, it wasn't as bad as the Wii version.
Its a shame, I used to really enjoy it on the Snes and N64 when winning was down to your racing skills as well as a bit of luck.

I have a cat called Gizmo (I've not named him after you don't worry, I'm not that much of a stalker). I was wondering if anyone else had a pet with the same name as a boardie?
Anyway...I am almost finished with A Clash of Kings and have A Storm of Swords ready to go. I don't actually want to finish A Clash of Kings for a weird reason, I have enjoyed reading it so much. More than the first one anyway, which like Game of Thrones the TV show is a bit slow to get going.
I had a dream last night where I was effectively stalking Ritzy Brian from The Joy Formidable at a music festival. She was always happy to see me though, I have a feeling the real Ritzy would be quite sarcastic about all the chance meetings though. And scared.
I really need a new shower head, anyone got any idea which one I should buy?
