Day 708


Aka Tuesday 8th January 2019

Back to my morning exercise walk (I walked a total of 9.26km (or 5.75miles) in 1hour 43minutes and 58seconds, which took 11,682 steps and burnt 997 calories), during which I did some more prep work for my interview about the Basildon and Thurrock University Hospitals NHS Foundation Trust job - running through possible questions and answers, thinking of new examples to use in the interview and what questions to ask them, and then some weights when I got home…









…got a confirmation that my application for the GOSH post was rejected, which was a bit of a surprise as I could have done the job standing on my head, but also kinda good news as the job details were almost two pages long and it did seem like a bit of a dogs-body role, a bit like they had said “let’s throw all the rubbish responsibilities into this post’…

…and I read ‘Savage Dragon#240 (which is a good old superhero beat ‘em up, but with added realism as the bad guys do bad stuff and in one case really bad, trigger-warning worthy evilness) and ‘Mars Attacks#2 & #3 (where Spencer and his Dad, Major Carbutt, try to keep alive and avoid the Martians. There’s plenty of great and gross destruction going on, but plenty of emotional beats as well, with Spencer and his Dad grow closer and cocky survivors realising that they are out of their depth!). All three comics are fun and well written, illustrated, coloured and lettered and with emotional depth that is true to the characters and their situations. 8/10 for all three issues…  



…and I did the G2 Crossword:


…which took a nose dive as I had to cheat on a third of the clues (seven out of 21), the answers just didn’t come to me, they kinda stumbled to mind. Which is a bit weird as I could get ‘Rectorship’, but not ‘backlash’ or ‘above reproach’, maybe I’ve got a cold coming on?
