I was tagged by Melissa. Why do I blog?
When I first started my blog it was mainly so I could remember things and as my friends knew about my site I didn’t have to keep repeating myself I could just forward them to my site! Nowadays, I don’t blog anything nearly as personal because thats not who I am anymore. Now I’d say I was a creative femgeek blogger! I blog to keep my perfectionist tendencies happy and also to meet new people!

The job interview/assesment/I really don’t know what it was! I arrived 15 minutes early and sat down in the business center and people watched for a while. Then the aforementioned lovely lady came and introduced herself and said she was waiting for someone to finish and a few more people to arrive for this session. It was only when she returned and said “is everyone here for the assessment?” did I twig that the 4 other guys (yes they were ALL guys) sitting around me were also here for the assessment!

We all went into the room and I had horrible visions of Role Playing troublesome customers and selling imaginary hard drives but it was a room that the others later likened to the board room in the apprentice! There was a big table in the middle of the room with laptops. We each sat down and had to do a test similar to business studies, calculating percentages which I’d forgotten how to do until the last two or three questions! I felt more than a little geeky when the lady said “oh I’ll get you a calculator” and I said “oh don’t worry” and pulled out my calculator! :D
I didn’t even finish the ‘test’ I highly doubt I got any right except for the really simple ones, I was so nervous I couldn’t read! While we were waiting one particularly smarmy guy announced that there were only three jobs available and pointed at himself and the two others his age. Which personally I took offense to. I was so happy when the lady came out and asked me, and the two (in my opinion) nicest guys there back in to do another personality test! After that she said that she’d call for an interview in two or three days! eeee!

Even if I don’t get the job then I’ll still have had some interview experience and I’m not trying to be a bitch, well lets be honest I don’t need to try, but just knowing that that smarmy git didn’t get the job makes me happy!

Reverse Lens Macro

Remember ages ago I said I’d write you all some photography tutorials - Well I did! I wrote a simple on on Reverse Lens Macro. Do tell me what you think of it and if you can think of any other ideas for tutorials! If you like that tutorial please Digg it!!!

You may notice I have a new layout up at apricot13.org it still needs something but I’m pretty happy with it. I’m currently in the process of whoring it out so if anyone has any photoblog hints and tips do tell ;)!

Haha ’smarmy’ is a fantastic word. I hope you get the job. I liked the tutorial, but I’m confused as to how to get the lens onto the camera! Did you just put it in front of it? Or are you able to attatch it to it…? I don’t know if my camera would let me… I think I’m going to need to invest in an SLR. I can’t change the shutter speed on my camera either!!! :(
I … dugg it (?)

Wow, that guy sounds like a prat. I bet the look on his face when the woman came back in and didn’t talk to him made it totally worth it, huh? Good luck with the next step.
