This is from my online diary I kept two years ago.
18th February 2006

It goes like this.

I have university interview offers pouring in through my letterbox like liquid. It's getting annoying. I'm having to miss work, which means missing out on money, which means not being able to pay my horrendous -£8 debt I'm in. I work two shift on a Wednesday.. a 12-3pm shift, and a 5.30-8.30pm shift. That's a good six hours there. That's £30 right there.With the interviews being all over the damn place, I'm going to have to miss both shifts. However, with them being on Wednesdays, I can use it to my advantage.

Basically.. all of the interviews are planned already. Starting 1st March, I have pretty much every Wednesday booked. Except one.. the 29th. Coincidentally, this is the birthday of one of my good friends. The plan was, I would drive down, we'd take a spin in my car, she'd fill it with petrol and then we'd go through a car wash. We'd be inside the car though. It's not like we'd walk through the car wash ourselves. That'd be silly.

I booked the day off work and claimed it was a university interview. But, I said that I'd be back to do the evening shift at 5.30pm. Everything was sorted.

No.

Today, Northampton mailed me to tell me my interview has been moved to the 29th.

The ironic thing is, I'll be back in time to do my evening shift at 5.30pm.

I tried to get a day off work by saying I had a uni interview that day
A few days later, I got a letter saying I had a uni interview on the day I booked off work.

BAD Karma

Good god I hope you didn't go there. I only live a few miles away from it and it is an utter... well lets just say it should have featured quite regularly in last week's QOTW
