Friday morning, 6:45am. A time of day which nobody should have to see. Driving to Sunderland was no fun at all. Multiple attempts on my life by various drivers of various sized vehicles. Rain and stuff attempting to block my path.

I made it to Doxford at 10:50am, 10mins early, at which point nobody at reception seemed to know the dude I was there to see. Panic ensues. Help! Eventually they found them and the interview went without a hitch, no problems. Lots of questions about me, rather than questions about skills, which confused me slightly. Anyhow, I will find out within a week.

Driving from Sunderland to Bolton was even less fun. I decided to forgoe the M1 and drove along pokey little roads in parts of the country which I never knew existed. Ick.

Anyhow.

Bolton.
Much fun.
Many hugs.
Many kisses.
Multiple smiles.

In fact, goodness all round.
Yep.

Doxford park,
just of the A19 ... I used to work there ... doing data-entry for some promotions company that had a call-centre as well ...

They were called ... Acxiom ... nevermind ...
It ain't too bad a place ... Newcastle that is ... not Doxford or Maccem country (a.k.a. Sunderland)

Let me know whether you got the job ...

Oh and good luck ...

Yeah, Doxford International... well actually just beyond, but yes. Same place.

Thanks for the luck, I wouldn't wish too hard because I'm not too sure exactly whether I'm gonna be taking it up if I do get offered it for a number of reasons.

(Reasons being that it's not the job description that I expected from the advert/description, doesn't involve immediate and permanent relocation, and is only a 3 month secondment rather than permanent change.)
 
I can tell you that Sunderland to Bolton can be done reasonably swift if needed ... so it must be better then Glasgow ...

But stay on the lookout ...

The job's based in Rotherham.
However, it's not 100% there. Technically I will still be based in Greenock. It's a right weird situation.
