I got my tax rebate!!!

*dances with glee*

Just over £700!!!

Yeeee-haaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaw!!!

There will be pizza this weekend, oh yes!

Yes, indeedy, you read that right, a real honest-to-god job interview :) Planning and purchasing for a company in Hatfield - oddly enough, the place where my friend Troo works. I didn't know this until the other day, I wasn't given the company name when my agency first asked if I wanted to be put forward for the post. I met Abby at the agency today to get the gen about the post and some tips for the interview. It sounds a very involved job, very challenging. Lazy!Mitchy is thinking possibly too challenging, considering the doubtless low salary. Smart!Mitchy is thinking "Woo, a job that might actually strain my brain!" Plus all the benefits a permanent job would bring like, you know, the permanency :P

But that's something I can consider after the interview and if they offer me the job! It's by no means a done deal, because I don't have a purchasing or planning background. On the other hand, they know that and called me for an interview anyway, so I must have something they like. So we shall see.

Ick. Clothes shopping. Lordy, I hate clothes shopping *shudders* But it is for a good cause :)

And tax rebate! Woo hoo!!

I must have gone psychic when I went shopping last night because I had this urge to buy cider. Clearly I knew I was going to be celebrating something. I decided that it was time to find a good quality cider to drink, to supplement the chemical joy that is Woodpecker or Strongbow, my ciders of choice. So I've purchased five bottles of Thatchers, each brewed from a different type of apple, and there will be a great cider tasting this weekend. Starting tonight. I will post reviews :)

It should be a good weekend *waltzes off happily*

How sweet is hard cider? If I prefer dry drinks, what kind should I try.

Thank you!

Hrm. Well cider goes from sickeningly sweet (K cider, comes in black bottles. Avoid if helpful UK person offers it to you) to drier than the Sahara Desert, so there's something for everyone :)

Now, I have NO IDEA what sort of ciders are available where you live. If the generally commercially available ones are around, try Strongbow or Woodchuck's Granny Smith (finest cider on the planet!). Otherwise, it's a case of tasting and seeing what you like, which is what I do :) *happy hic*

If it helps, I've had a few types of ciders myself... Ranging from something like apple syrup all the way to something that tasted kind of like fruity battery acid. But personally, I have a taste for a can of woodpecker in the bath. It doesn't happen often, and I can almost directly blame Scrubs (for the idea of drinking in the bath) and Mitchy (for the cruel sin of visiting and then not mercilessly devouring all available cider ;) ), but it's oddly good.

I left cider?!?!?!

*swoons in horror*

[therealsherbs.livejournal.com]

beware of cider, it has a tendency to taste a lot less potent than it really is and also can play absolute havoc with your insides :)

Good news all round!
Hints in purchasing - you need to have a little stock on hand as possible while being able to meet 99% of needs instantly. As these are pretty much mutually exclusive, it's quite a challenge.
Planning - you need to know how things move through the company, and then watch for patterns, good and bad, so that you can boost one and reduce the other.
Cider - yes, please!
Well done you!

Congrats and best of luck with the interview

Woodpecker or Strongbow, my ciders of choice
I'll try and remember this when I go shopping :)

Tax Rebate Wheeeeeee

Clothes shopping Uuuuuuh

Cider tasting......not sure. The nearest to a decent cider I ever tasted was Merrydowns and Symonds Yat, and they were only OK. I'll wait for the reviews.

Fingers and toes crossed for your interview!
