    Sunburnt with factor 50 on?

    Yikes! :(

    You just not good with the sun or is it stupid hot over there?

    Sun factor wears off after a few hours. You need to re-apply it.

    Ugh, I stayed at home because I thought someone was coming over, but turns out they are not, so I just wasted the morning hanging around the place. :mad: Off to the library now.

    Holy crap awec :eek:

    Ah now I only got a wee bit red on my shoulder. Think I just missed it when I was reapplying. I'm very particular about sun burn. Last year my friend was diagnosed with very aggressive skin cancer, she got the results of her final scan on Tuesday and it was clear. I was always quite good when it came to the sun but since she got cancer I have been so very very anal about covering up.

    Bit of UB40 - Can't help falling in love mixed with MC Hammer with a side of Aqua - Barbie Girl thrown in? And a backing of Dave Pearce's Now I'm Free gladiator remix?

    This is epic.... Makes Rihanna bearable... slightly.

    You'll be grand. Just read over your CV and brush up on whatever you think they might ask you about. I know that last part can be tough. I work in IT and have done quite a few technical interviews in the past and it's a complete crap shoot as to what I should prepare beforehand, they could ask me anything. So I know the frustration from that point of view.

    But defo go over your CV and know what you did and where, nothing worse than having that "Did I really write that down on my CV? I wonder what that means?" feeling :)

    Also be prepared for the "why did you leave your last job/why are you looking to leave your current job?" question as well as the "why would you be a good fit here/what appeals to you about this job?" Like most people, you may have to completely lie and come up with some waffle about "wanting another challenge" blah blah, but these are the games you have to play :)

    I'd also recommend having some sort of answer about times you improved some process/the way things were done or something like that. Or even better, how you pre-empted a problem. Companies love that stuff, even though it's incredibly irritating if you haven't done loads of it :)

    One other wee tip. I remember years ago for my first job interview with a company, I had read a review of their software before the interview. In fairness it didn't give me a whole lot of info about them or anything but it showed I had put some effort in and to this day I'm still convinced it earned me quite a few brownie points with the interviewers. Especially as the magazine had recommended the software too :) I also got the job.

    It's really hammering down with rain out there. Don't know why but I've the strangest urge to go for a run. However I think the fact that I just had my dinner will put the brakes on that :)

    Nah, not this year, maybe next! I do want to do one though...

    Awec- when running it takes about 2 mins to get so warm that the rain is actually welcome! I'd be much colder cycling in the rain cos your upper body doesn't move at all...

    That's part of what I like. about it! I find it mentally very challenging. Such a huge rush when you complete that challenge! :D
    There's no music in cycling. I would hate that! :eek:

    I has tipsy. Man, I love wine :pac: :D

    Oh yeah, forgot to mention - so I got a 2.1 in my exams. :D I am totally delighted and shocked as I thought I was going to have to defer them. (also didn't even realise the results were out today. Found out on Facebook.)

    Well done Lar! That's great!

    Same happened me last year, except for the good results part. :pac:
    One of the lads from college rang to ask how I got on, and I hadn't a clue what he was talking about. :o
