Another day to mark

Phew! My assessment is finally over!

Bev, my employer, had forewarned me two days ago that I was going to get my interview from the Guild today, and I had been trying to prepare for it since. Up until the call, it had been nerve-wracking to not have even an iota of what could be asked of me. Bev had ensured me all this time, though, that the Guild did not intend to fail me nor would they even try to find a fault. Did that help or what, but the 10-minute oral examination over the phone went like fireflies fleeing out of a tight jar!

After I put down the phone, I just found myself back to work as if nothing had happened. Like I had been aware of the sense of relief taking over only when Bev asked me later how it was. Yeah, it was alright, I told her. You didn't think they'd kill you, right? she asked. Well, I really didn't know what to expect.

Later in the afternoon, the Guild's training supervisor called to inform me I had satisfactorily passed the modules, and that I could enrol for the dispensary assistant course. She said I could choose to attend the 3-hour classes for 6 weeks which will commence mid-April OR a weekend course. Hmm, I thought the weekend course would expedite all that, and more importantly, save all the petrol it would be burning had I opted for the 6-week course. So, after having told the lady on the phone of my choice, she offered the one for this weekend. Well, isn't that just grrrrrrrrreat?

This will surely be an interesting weekend to look forward to, and hmm, a long weekend for the chef.
