Well, I guess that I'm self-employed and although I've had work all week for most of the time I've done it, it was only like a part-time income (and not a good part-time income); also the nature of it, looking after children at home. I felt a bit sad after today's experience because I've applied for so many jobs and only had a few interviews, and this one was the first for this other line of work I want to get back into. It was actually at a floral warehouse making bouquets and things - beautiful flowers
So it was like, so close and yet so far. Also, lack of sleep's probably making me emotional - got up early for the interview and felt like I'd been awake half the night - the dog woke me up and then I kept thinking about the interview, as you do on the nights before important things when you'd quite like to have a good night's sleep!
At least my hubby's getting a change in his job next week and going to be earning more, but he was pretty keen before on my getting a 'proper' job and I was starting to like the idea of doing something different. There's one thing that I just find really challenging about what I'm doing now.
