Well I haven't blogged for some time, in part because my life has toiled on and had little to report but the typical days that I have come to know.
Happy 2009 everybody by the way.
As I tore off my word of the day calendar this morning I revealed something quite ironic - Cat's-paw: meaning one used by another as a tool; a dupe. Could any word reing truer to my current situation in my temping role?
Today I was given some clarity in a meeting that my position at the company is secured until the end of February 2009, which is great, but still doesn't give me any real security and still holds me back from investing in any serious form of financial involvement (but clear my debts from my credit card and that isn't fun 
). But also during the meeting, they outlined that my role over the coming weeks is to train everyone else in the company (everyone being those who are necessary to update the sections of the website that I have been employed to produce over the past months). So I kind of get the feeling that I have served my time and I am now left to distribute my job among those who are full time employees.
However - on the good side, yesterday I attended an interview in Sheffield with a large outdoor clothing organisation, and I have to say, it was probably one of the best interviews I have had. I didn't feel uncomfortable, or that I was doing my typical horrible rambling that I tend to do. Nor did I find myself on the end of any question stumpers. The role is indeed quite an interesting and challenging sounding role, not as creative as my temp role has been, but another side of marketing; a side that I feel is more professional and data driven. Oh and the pay is mighty fine!!!!!!
All in all, I felt the interview went good. I am going to try and stay positive, though slight doubt creeps in my mind that they didn't ring me today or in the evening yesterday saying "Yes! Yes! We want you! Come back!", but then maybe that doesn't always happen...I hope.
I must admit my lack of blogging has been my own fault as I have been extremely slack in applying for any additional full-time positions. I find myself in a contrasting positon; both hating the fact that I can not get any future security that I would get with a permanent job, but finding my job comfortable and happy to collect the experience that I have been doing so. I really do need to get myself in gear with this and get life moving, maybe I should blog more often to give me the drive...
