Feeling low today. This morning I received a phonecall offering me a job interview. This will be my first ever post graduate position. The highest salary I've every had by about £10k and my first ever "professional" job. The very first step of my career.
I called my mum and she replied "oh? an interview? well doesn't mean you have the job though does it". 
well obviously not but an interview is a positive thing in anyone's book, surely? she went on to say "thought you didn't want to work there anyway? still a job is a job I suppose." FFS I never said I didn't want to work there, I just said from the applications I'd done there are others I would have preferred, I'm still bloody ecstatic at getting an interview for this one! She then said "oh anyway, did I tell you about my gas bill?" .... so she rattled on about that for ages and the job interview was not mentioned again. My younger sister's 1500 word assignment was mentioned in a "oh poor stressed out Dot, guess what she has to do!" kind of way. Strangely enough the mention of my 12,000 word dissertation was ignored.
Anyway it's not just her. Ever since I applied for these jobs DP has been going on about "ooo no interviews? what a shame .... " you know, really rubbing it in.
When I told him today about this interview he seemed strangely surprised, and not in a good way.
Just feeling generally fed up and pissed off today.
