    Oh, tomorrow and Wednesday are going to be tied up with finishing my assignment. But I will turn my alarm off

    I wonder if I’m not getting the whole truth, Jaq, because I’m disabled……
    The purpose of life is not to be happy. It is to be useful, to be honorable, to be compassionate, to have it make some difference that you have lived and lived well.

    I can understand that. If that's the case then they don't deserve you. it's their loss as you're awesome and would be an asset.

    Jaq is completely right. You are an asset and an amazingly brilliant person to have on any team. Have you asked for detailed feedback to help you improve for any other interviews?

    Hope you're being kind to you today love.
    Do a little of something that makes you happy every day!

    I had feedback.the interview was scenario, not skills, based. One of the questions was about what I would do if a colleague dumped work on me. I said that the work needed to be done so I’d get on with it, whilst referring to my line manager. Apparently that was wrong - I was supposed to look out for my well-being and leave it. Not sure that is in my nature….

    That's a crap answer from there. No "team player" would just leave it! I wouldn't hire you if you just left it to pile up and get forgotten.. Surely it's about working as a team? Yes tell your line manager - if they don't want you to do it then it's their call surely?

    Exactly! Which is what makes me think there was another reason behind it. Maybe I’m being paranoid

    I don't know if you're being paranoid, but I don't get their answer at all!

    Their answer makes no sense. There is probably someone else doing the job already, and because of NHS policy, they had to advertise and hold interviews, but gave the job to the person already there.

    I had a fantastic day at my church’s women’s day. But, 8.30am - 9.00pm, with lots of socialising (and tons of cake ) - I might be slightly broken. And a little punch drunk lol
