Good 48 hours...??
Hmmm, well, I think that's a fair title for THIS entry.
On Friday, I had a brief (about 15 minutes) interview over the phone with TfL (Transport for London) towards their Customer Service Assistant positions. It went well, and I've been invited to join the 3rd stage in the process, a day at their Assessment Centre, at Ashford House, in London. Get that and the following stage right, and there's a good chance of a being offered a position. From what I can gather, this day is spent doing things like role-play exercises to see how the individual reacts to typical situations in the job. Should be interesting and a little bit of fun too. Plus the train fare will probably be paid by Employment Services....
Yesterday, I rediscovered the joys of watching cricket live in person, as I joined my father for the day watching Driffield Town CC play host to Sheffield United CC. Watching the game on TV is great, but you don't get the atmosphere of being there in person as we did. We had a great time watching some thrilling Kevin Pietersen-like batting, some enthralling spin bowling and some accurate pace bowling. And the result was favourable too. Driffield managed to set their opponents a chase of 272 from a maximum of 55 overs, but Sheffield were never really up with the rate, they lost wickets regularly and in the end, only made 216, to leave Driffield the winners by 55 runs.
Father and I came to the conclusion that we must do this again! The funniest thing was that one or two of the locals thought we were from Sheffield as they had never seen us before....
