Are better than others.
So I get a call from a recruitment agent "Are you still looking for work?" Yes I reply "OK, You know the job I set you up for before. Well the client has another job in mind for you. Do you want to see him again?" Yes of course.
So an interview is set up for 11am the following morning (this being done at 6pm).
OK so I have a relaxing evening and a few beers while surfing the net. I go to bed at a reasonable time as I've to be up early to go and get my suit from the parents place on the way to the interview. I find I've trouble sleeping. I just put it down to nerves. I decide to take some fast insulin as mu before bed reading was a bit high, so I do 2units. Sometime between 1:30 and 2am I wake up and decide I need a drink and a quick snack, so I get some biscuits. Some time later I still can't sleep and I'm feeling MUCH worse. I manage to stagger down the stairs and this time think to take the blood sugar reading. 1.3 bloody hell it's been a while since it was that low. No wonder I'm feeling crap. Time to start shoveling doen the dried fruit to bring the blood glucose levels back up again. After half an hour the levels are back at 'normal levels'. I take another couple of units to try and stop the overshoot and know that it'll fail miserably. So back to bed and try to relax and stop the effects of the adrenaline running through my system.
Eventually I manage to get some sleep, even though I do think of forgetting the interview as I know I'll feel crap in the morning after a night like this.
As on cue the long acting shot starts taking effect at about 6ish am and I awake again. Ignore it as I know that I'm high from earlier.
Eventually the time comes for me to get up, so I do and off I trot to get the bus to start the journey to the interview thinking all the while that I'm not sure why I'm doing this as I don't think I want the job.
Suited and booted I get to the interview and have a chat about tha job prospect. I really do think I don't want this particular job, but then again it is a job...

E at the least Phil.
I would say take the job and keep your eyes open. It sounds as if the market there sucks as much as it does on this side of the pond.

Maybe you don't fancy the job because you were feeling 'low'.Amazing how dependent emotions are on blood sugar levels.If you get it, take it and, as marv says, look round for summat else. At least it will provide the regularity we're supposed to need. With a fluctuating timetable, I still find it very difficult to eat at the same times every day, let alone fit in the exercise, Good luck mate.

I would like to commend the above idea to the house. Your not wanting it could be for many reasons, some medical, some because you actually don't want it. So go with it if it comes round, but keep your eyes open for other stuff. But most of all, go for that pint.

Thanks all. I was told that if I wanted the job it was mine. Trouble is, I've been thinking about it for a while and yes having a job is better than no job but I don't actually want that partucular one Better start pushing for the opportunities that are around right now (a couple that I'd much rather have).
I did have that pint, and the next and so on. I am feeling suprisingly well considering
