Ok well interview over and have now finished laughing manically like some mad nutjob on a psyche ward

How did it go - :eek: - i honestly dont know I have spent about an hour slapping my forehead every 2-3 minutes repeating the same 2 phrases " oh my God why didnt i say that" and " oh my God why DID i say that"
Isnt hind sight a wonderful thing - this is why i HATE interviews - questions that cause me to 'waffle' and totally miss the point until 5 minutes AFTER the interview when the penny drop like a sack of sh*t and and i slap myself on the head lmao - followed by approx 30 mins of manic laughing crineging and oh my God'ing :rofl:

so I felt it went bloody awful BUT they were really lovely, and asked when I intended to start ( ie when I hope to land) said they would get the paperwork out in the post to me, and the HR lady I have been speaking to would help me with the paperwork, that she ( the interviewer) was going on holiday in July for amonth ( she's an Aussie) and would be back in touch with me before i got there

SO unless its a regular thing for canadian employers to make you feel like you have the job to be nice and then send a letter saying "ha ha ha not a chance i wouldnt let you look after my dead hamster let alone my ER dept" i THINK i might have got the job!!!!! - In the area I work in you dont find out at the interview so i wasnt expecting her to tell me and neither did I ask, which in hindsight maybe I should have done lol

So i shall wait for the paperwork to arrive as promised and keep my fingers crossed once i stop slapping myself!!!!!!:rofl:

thanks all

Oh MY God lmao - I hadnt thought about that - I think im in denial, I dont want to get my hopes up til i actually see that paperwork that says yes you have the job lol - so i havent thought about the rest yet - jeeze just filling in the CIC paperwork makes me sweat lol - watch for the 100 posts that appear when it comes to me doing thast bit lol

Yoong - yes the ER forums are funny - whats the worst thing your found inserted in someone? whats the worst excuse for someone turning up at ER, whats the worst thing you've been reported for? - ALL had me laughing loudly and remembering what it was like to work there

omg now the more i think about it im starting to panic lmao - 3 months ( 12 weeks sounds even less lol) to pack the house, arange the animal transport, arange rental accom, arrange shipping, sort out finances, close down hubby business and do all tx forms plus a million more other things to boot
oh crap here comes that manic laughing again
