I was technically in charge of the Oxfam shop Saturday afternoon, although the way I saw it, all three of us there were in charge. Managed the extra responsibility without any panic or anxiety attacks, got a little antsy but it didn't get in the way.

Had my job center appointment with the advisor this morning, sadly my last one with him as he's moving to another job center. As far as he's concerned I'm doing things right and I should keep on with what I'm doing but he did give me a couple of tips as he doesn't want me to get caught out by a technicality or the new advisor not quite getting what I'm doing.

Next podcast should be recording this week, going to be a Kate O'Mara tribute episode, so watching her appearances as the Rani, a couple of Hammer movies and some classic sixties telly like The Avengers and The Champions.

I've gotten another ten episodes of Game Of Thrones watches, am really enjoying it. Lot of the fun is seeing people I like showing up and either getting their kit off or getting killed.

Agents Of SHIELD finally got good, pity we had to wait a dozen episodes before that really. A lot of it is simply it being a bit more MArvel now and not some generic action show.

Really liking All-New Ghost Rider, very different take on it and echoing things like The Fast & The Furious except with a flaming skull-headed spirit of vengeance.

Haven't watched many movies in the last couple of weeks, mainly due to wrestling and Skyrim.

Ultimate Warrior got inducted into the WWE Hall Of Fame, cut a fun promo on RAW then died the next day. Just a complete shock and makes his promo about the legend living on after he's gone a bit freaky.

I restarted Skyrim for the...sixth(?) time. No real reason other than it had been a while and despite putting a bunch of effort into building my own home in the game, I preferred the first house you can buy in Whiterun. So I decided all the effort, gold and materials would be better spent leveling up skills. Also walking to locations as much as possible and just wandering around doing what quests show up, already done a few I'd never done before.

Got a phone call inviting me to a job interview for a Customer Service Assistant in Dundee that I applied to at the weekend, thought nothing of it until I saw the short interview time and went and had a look at their website...yep, it's another dodgy company trying to trick people into doing door-to-door sales on commission. Fell for that once twenty years ago, not falling for it again. Will be phoning them in the morning and be politely declining the interview.

...my final talk with Tim at the job center made me move even more towards trying maybe move into a possible support role of some sort, something I would never have considered a year ago but now that I'm a lot better with a lot of things, something I'm going to look into.
