Busy busy busy

Sorry I haven´t blogged for a while, a few job adverts came through on my email so I´ve been busy like a beaver filling in job applications and explaining to people that the postal system from Bolivia really isn´t going to get the form to them before 2013 and so could I please email it instead. Luckily (I say that with a fixed smile on my face) Millay has been here to help me with my application forms, the only problem being married to a self confessed (and I quote) "linguistic genius" with a fetish for grammar and punctuation is that my slack prose gets a proper beating. My first (2hr!) attempt at ´describe your experience relevant to this position' got rounded rejected as being too long and autobiographical and so I was sent out to do it again. The second draft ended up with more red lines on than a New York subway map but after some careful negotiation final killer versions were approved and sent off to 3 different jobs in the Merseyside area.

 

In all honesty it is a mercy from God that I´ve got her here at all to save me from myself when it comes to those things, I get bored far to easily and while I´ve never seen the importance of a complete understanding of the apostrophe and semi-colon whilst she gets an unhealthy delight in ensuring such things are correct. I think she´s great and deserves all the chocolate I'm about to buy her!

 

Now, back to travelling!
