Apostrophe catastrophe!

I fear I am boring you now with my job hunt stories - at the very least, I'm boring myself!  

Had to go for a grammar test, proof reading exercise and a digital dictation today in advance of an interview.

The proof reading test was fine but 50+ questions to test the use of an apostrophe was a bit much and after reading so many, you start to doubt which is the correct one!

The dictation exercise was awful.  She told me there was a problem with the ear phones - i.e. they won't stay in your ears - but failed to let me know the foot pedal wasn't working.  I sat there whilst someone dictated a document at about 70+ words per minute (faster than I am used to) and when I wanted to use the pedal to pause and catch up, it didn't work and I had to use the mouse to manually stop it.  The idea is that your hands should never need to leave the keyboard so having to put the ear phones back in every other minute, and not being able to stop the dictation, I must admit it wasn't the most relaxing hour of my life.  They said they would bear it in mind when it was marked.  How kind of them!

I think I could write a book on my interview experiences!

In other news, my car sailed through its MOT and the people from yesterday's job rang to invite me back for a second interview.

The husband is golfing tonight so I went to treat myself to something tasty for tea and thought I would blip the river at the side of Asda.  However, when I looked down, there seemed to be a trolley graveyard.  I counted at least 14 and got irrationally angry at the mentality of people :(.

Quote for today:
I am an apostrophe.  I am just a symbol to remind you that there is more to see.
