Good Evening My Dears,
I am both very excited and very disappointed with the week's experiences. When last I wrote, I was off to get a national insurance number so that I can get paid and get healthcare. I approached the whole process with a bit of trepidation as I had been told that I would not get an insurance number as they are difficult for immigrants to get. I was told that people have been waiting years for them. Sounds like the Green Card process in the States. I got to my interview for the national insurance late, as I was in an interview with an agency; that called me a couple of hours before the Insurance interview and asked me to come in right away. Anyhoo, the agency interview went well and there may be some cool jobs coming up soon. Will keep you all posted. The insurance interview was surprisingly painless as well. I answered some questions and I will have my number in a couple of weeks.
I also had an interview today for a software company called evolution online and the jury is still out as to how it went. I will let you all know as soon as I have other news. I will say that I was rather disappointed by the experience. I can't say much more as I don't want to jinx it, so fingers crossed.
In stellar news, I am moving into my flat tomorrow. I am so excited to have a room of my own. I will post pics to facebook at some point over the weekend.
Next up...I will be writing from Sunny warm Greece as I am off to see the family for Easter and my sister Alex's birthday.
Cheerio for now,
Tina

So jealous! Give everyone a big hug from me and sing Happy Birthday to Alex for me ;)
ReplyDeleteI hope you have a wonderful and blessed Easter. And Yay to the flat! :)
I will sing her happy bday (or croak it more likely as I have a constant sinus infection) for you. Happy Easter to you as well. And I will give everyone a big hug.
ReplyDeleteIt all sounds good to me Tina!Or should I say, Ms. Woolf? Have a lovely time in Greece! Can't wait to see pix of flat! Do you need me to mail you some chloroseptic cough drops? Those are good for taming a post-nasal croak! Email me your address!
