I missed my job interview this week, woke up at 0600, rush down to the train station for 0705 and everything is cancelled. This happens a lot down here, we're basically cut off from the rest of the country if two or three roads and the rail line flood or get snowed in. Was meant to be at 1100 and train should have arrived half an hour early, or could get the next one that would get in 10 minutes later, I should have known better. I should be in the next round of interviews next year. I've nearly been stuck stranded in the snow before, coming back from Uni with a friend... I checked the map and convinced him to take a last minute turn, down a dark country lane, with the petrol light on... driving past shut petrol stations... we made it. I think he vowed to never drive me anywhere again, he has kept that promise. But at least we weren't stuck in the snow.
