A bird upon a windowsill, tweeting,
Marking that the day has started
Long ago, and now you’re late.
That gentle light that through
The yonder window breaks,
It marks that it is ten o’clock
And Sleeping Beauty has slept through
And she groans in disbelief, realising
That she’s missed her interview!
Thankfully, my interview is tomorrow. Because if it had been today, I would have missed it. I somehow managed to sleep through three alarms and it was only the light coming through my open curtains that signaled to me that something was wrong.
I’ve done this before, as I am sure that everyone has. But the fact that I have an interview tomorrow and if that were to happen tomorrow I could kiss that opportunity goodbye, that gave me a bit of a scare.
It made me think of how badly an interview could go. I’m sure people have slept in and missed them before. Would you even bother going if you realised that you were half an hour late? And how long into an interview are you before you realise you’ve stuffed it up? I heard a story about somebody doing their driving test and they immediately backed into the test centre wall. Could you do the equivalent in an interview?
Let’s just hope that tomorrow starts off a bit better than today did.
Much Love

Your body needed extra rest, and I’m glad you got it. I’m sure that you will be fine for your interview – I’ll be cheering for you! Please let us know how it went.

Wow…
Moments like these make me glad I’m a light sleeper… Although I wish I could have a moment like these when I’m up until 3am on a weekend and then my body wakes up at 5:30 like it does every day anyway.

Fingers crossed for you

I’m trusting the interview will go well. We often don’t feel our best selves ahead of time and going in.
