The sudden realisation that it’s half 3 and you havn’t eaten anything yet. And it hurts. LUNCH……

I have been told many times that what you wear to an interview is very important, and almost all of those times I have been recommended wearing a suit.

And I agree that a guy who turns up in a suit and tie will come across as more professional, and possibly even more interested in the job.

However. I do find a fault or two in this theory. Firstly, if your interviewer is dressed in a t-shirt and jeans, and you are dressed in a suit, you could possibly make them feel a little concerned or put off. For a multitude of reasons, which would all be dependent on them personally. Also, I find that people in suits tend to come across as pretentious, even stuck-up. Not always, of course, but if you’re the only one in the room/office/building with a blazer on… People are going to think you’re the health inspector.

This is not to say there isn’t a need for suits. In one of my previous jobs I was required to wear a suit to work, and it does make you feel important, and possibly more powerful. However, there is a vast difference if it is a requirement as opposed to for an interview.

And I tend to do okay *fingers crossed* in face to face interviews, and I’ve never worn a suit to one.

So today I’ll be sticking with the shirt and smart trousers, and I’ll let you know later if this stream of consciousness is a load of bullcrap.

I have always been a little dense when it comes to getting a new phone. Having just ordered my fifth phone, I am getting better, but it’s still a little baffling.

Upgrades, tariffs, one off payments, phone numbers, PUK codes, PIN numbers, password verification, Hi-my-name’s-mike-can-i-take-your-name-and-account-number, 100 mile an hour terms and conditions, hidden payments, “Oh, by the way, your first monthly bill might be more than expected”, BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH BLAH FUCKING BLAH.

But before all this you have to choose a phone in the 1st place. I checked out the HTC One X online. Great price, amazing stats etc., almost bought it straight away. But I thought ‘no, I’d like to have a look at it first’. Good job I did, because the thing is the size of a chopping board. I’m sorry, but I don’t care how good a phone’s insides are, if I have to use two hands to operate it, it it going to piss me off. *Sound of screeching tyres* Change of plan.

Eventually, I’m just scanning around websites etc, and I see an amazing deal for virtually the same price as the HTC for the newest iPhone. And, lets be honest, we all want an iPhone really.

So soon, as of Monday, actually, I will be joining the ranks of the iPhone users. And I have to say, I’m pretty excited about it.

Siri doesn’t know what’s going to hit him.

Isn’t it ridiculous how long washing takes when you’re waiting for it. I pondered on the quick 30 minute wash, but declined it with the knowledge that some of that stuff had been sitting on my floor for a minimum of a week, and I’ve been on 2nd day socks for 4 days. Now I wish I hadn’t cos I need to tumble it for tomorrow, and I would dearly love to sleep for more than 3 hours. I’ve watched the Apprentice, done the whole tumblr, facebook, email bullshit about 10 times, and now I’m bored.

1 hour 45 and counting… I swear it never takes this long.
