I had a debrief today for the role as a factory manager. i didn't get the job and now wanted to find out where i'd gone wrong. As though it wasn't apparent, because I had completely failed on one of the questions i should of sailed through. Just goes to show even when you think you are prepared, there is a possibility you have left something out. As the saying goes luck is opportunity meets preparation.
Of 7 questions which i could of scored a maximum of 5 out of 5, i had scored 4 on 5 of the questions, a 3 1/2 and a 2. I hadn't scored a 5 on any of them. Though I was told i was appointable, which is not a great concilation prize in reality. As for the question i scored 2 on, it was an obvious one to come up, i should of known it. Unfortunately factory manager jobs dont come up a great deal because, everyone shuffles around in dead-mans-shoes. Yes the factory culture is old, needing a kick up the backside. But it don't matter what i do or say i'm still a little nut on a bolt at the bottom of the machine. Even if i fell off the machine would still carry on working. But then again, nobody is indispencible although they like to think they are, and may even manourver themself's into possitions where they appear to be. Be it the little nut or the cream on top.
I wonder if Lazy long haired man turned up for his interview in the Army, that was today. Did he get out of bed in time or was he counting sheep and playing on his Playstation?
Tomorrow will be interesting, lunch with members of the get fat quick club.
Wanted to go on a weekend break to York, unfortunately Dundee Cake couldnt do it. Never mind i'll soon have a few days off from the factory. I'm sure i can find something to do with myself. Take up snail racing perhaps.
