As the year goes on, this past week could be one that sticks in the mind as an important one with a mix of highs and lows.
The week began with preparation for my job interview on Monday which included a late Friday night visit to ASDA for a shirt after the one I had from last year was too small and it gave me the chance to use the £20 bonus I got off ASDA at Christmas . This was ironic as I was using a former employer to fund what could be my future employer.
The weekend saw me go to my second Skem home game of the year and still unbeaten as a spectator with a 2-0 win over Ilkeston and the win kept my accumulator going into Sunday. Sunday saw a thriller between Stoke and Liverpool end with a 5-3 Liverpool win which meant Real Madrid had to win to secure a record winning bet and at 9pm, I celebrated my first ever £100+ winner as I collected £104.90 off a £5 bet and took a massive step to beating last year's total winnings.
Monday came and time for my first job interview since September 2008, a first ever trip to Chorley was quite quick as I arrived at Euromedia early and after being greeted by the current Social Media Networker, who may I add was a lovely and gorgeous woman and put my mind at ease. The interview ran along well and I ended with high hopes of a good future and made the trip home safely and awaited a decision.
Tuesday saw me attempt to set up my pension transfer from ASDA and catch up on my weekend blogging but Wednesday was to derail what had been a good week so far as after missing out on Liverpool v Arsenal tickets in a late sale, I received an email mid-afternoon saying I had been unsuccessful in my job interview. I was gutted as it was a shot in the arm to my hopes of getting into a job I would enjoy but also one which I could use the skills I have acquired in recent years.
Thursday saw a relaxing day as I went back to the job search and had a gaming afternoon but I will go into statistics in a bit, Yesterday saw me catch up on the midweek sports blogs and begin my 2014 reading list as the week came to a close.
So a reasonable week overall which included a milestone which was saw me reach 15,000 Blogger views overall, with the year's goal of 20,000 in total only 5,000 away. Gaming wise, January has the guarantee of being my best ever start to a year with a total of 81 unlocks already beating current best of 75 from 2012.
Even sweeter is that with 13 days still to go there is the hope of starting 2014 with a century of unlocks which dwarfs the shameful total of 134 from Jan-April from 2013 and could pave the way for a first 1000 unlocks in a year since the record 1008 in 2010.
Last week, I mentioned that my fitness regime would come into effect soon and as I am still searching for a job, I hope to begin it next week so hopefully I can comment on it in next week's post.
