Way I'm looking at now is if I do get offered the job, then yay \o/ If I don't, then at least the dreaded first interview is out of the way and the next one will should a lot less stressful. Absolutely the right way of looking at it. What people regularly forget is that interviews are skills in themselves and like all skills the more you practice the better you get. People will often go years without an interview and then struggle next time they have one not because they're useless, they're just rusty. It's not a bad idea to apply for jobs and go for interviews every so often even if you're completely happy where you are. You don't have to tell anyone and make it look like you're trying to leave. Yes, it's a day off and takes time but it does lots of useful things: keeps you up to date on the jobs market, hones your skills for applications, CVs and interviews and together that can make all the difference when it comes to a job you do eventually want.

Think I've landed myself a job, just part time 27 hours a week but it's better than nothing. Have an induction next week and this is going to be an interesting adventure because I have no idea what the job is, what it pays, how it pays or anything else. The only thing I'm certain about is that it's in a warehouse in Stoke for a well known company. Guess I'll just go with the flow as they say.
Not being able to drive anymore is a royal fucking pain! It severely limits anything and everything you can do. At least this place is within walking/cycling distance.

Give it a chance even if you don’t like it at first, you might find you will click with certain people which is what enjoying your job is all about. All the best👍🏻

The bloke phoned earlier to confirm that I have the correct date and time for the induction next week and he said, "you are the bloke who wears glasses, right?" I said "yes that's me, but is that really what you took away when we met? You went with the glasses rather than the huge mohawk?"

How do you know his real name isn't 'the bloke who wears glasses'? Parents give their kids all sorts of strange names nowadays.
