Well my job interview went well yesterday. The work doesn’t start till later in the year and it would be a few hours a week online with an option to increase hours later if I wanted to. But on considering it overnight I’ve decided not to go ahead with it.
Its the same sort of work I talked to another company about earlier in the year but at a lot less pay. That company was OK with me contacting them again when I decide I want to do some work which I plan on doing when my current extra job ends. Since the first business pays a much higher rate, I’ll go with them when I’m ready.
What has been good is that the interview has really boosted my confidence that will be able to earn some extra income after I retire if I want. So it was worth it for that alone. Plus its reassuring to have years of experience recognised instead of age being a problem.
Yesterday I received a $50 Coles voucher in the mail. Often I do surveys for students gathering data and at the end some of them offer a gift card prize draw. I always enter as I know most people won’t. Well now I’ll be getting $50 worth of free groceries!
Woohoo for free groceries!!!
Free groceries are always a big win!
