Work/volunteering
Good morning all, can't stop feeling rather apprehensive about going in for my first trial day tomorrow, the job spec is incredibly broad, and totally unlike what I have done in the past.
I know the idea is to give it a go for three days and see if I like it, (and of course if they like me) but I'm a tad worried that is going to be more housekeeping than office! (At the second interview they asked me how I felt about ironing 
)
There is also the thing about the other interview next week. I think that I will see how tomorrow goes, and then be honest and tell them that I have been invited to interview for another position and will be attending, and therefore would like to keep my options open.
Any thoughts?
newist Don't be daft! And I hope that you don't take that in the wrong way!
I know you meant that, please please don't take what I said the wrong way. 
phoenix There's no shame in cleaning toilets.
I went from being the (working) wife of a millionaire to working behind a bar and cleaning the pub, including the mens' toilets!
A job is a job and you need the money 
pheonix its just a journey, its a bit bumpy at the moment, it will pass. do not think about what was, that will not help you. Better things await you, Believe
You are right Nonu !
jingl wrong! I'm not that "precious" ! For now, if I'm asked to clean bogs (as you put it) then bogs I will clean!
Oh my, where did it all go so wrong, one minute dealing with clients such as British Gas, Unilever, National Lottery, Nuffield health & Confused.com, the next cleaning, ironing and checking if enough bog rolls have been supplied to villa 
Cloud 9 !
(Must have done something v. bad in previous life!)
Yes. Let's look forward to Wednesday.
Well done for giving it your best shot.
Well, I survived day one 
but still have misgivings about the role 
It seems as if the office side will be around 20%, with the remaining 80% being housekeeping, cleaning and ironing !
The owner is as mad as a box of frogs.
How did it go, phoenix?
Of course you are wobbly after so long phoenix. You would be even if it was exactly what you were doing before .
I hope everything goes to plan today anyway.
Best of luck, phoenix
