Entry 1

I'm going for a job interview in a town 3 hours from where I currently live.

Actually, I'm going to interview with an agency.

My mother and significant other (S.O.) are convinced this will only be for temporary work and the pay will be quite low.

I've told them both that this is a formality - the actual job is permanent and good pay.

Of course, as has been my life story, I don't know what I'm talking about and they do.

I can guarantee that, should this be an interview for temporary work at low pay, I'll find a way to "spin" - ok, lie - about why I didn't take the job.

Sometimes it is good to remember the "old ways" - how to lie to keep people off my back.
