Too timid?

Just found out I didn't get the job at Pace in Saltaire. Had my second interview there on Friday and the agency called this morning to say they felt I was too timid. I'm pretty disappointed about that, and am also wondering just how outgoing the other applicants were. I felt I was being pretty confident, but not arrogant, and was chatty and making jokes when appropriate. I think I am naturally fairly reserved in a formal situation like that - you don't want a potential employer to think of you as the office clown. Clearly I wasn't sparky enough and maybe that's something I need to work on. Also, my interviewer was very softly spoken and I know I have a tendency to be a little loud on occasion (usually under the influence of alcohol) so perhaps I was being quieter than I normally would. Oh well, you win some, you lose some. Got two more interviews tomorrow so hopefully I'll have more success there.

Had a nice quiet weekend, mainly because I'm refusing to go out until V and L's birthdays at the end of January. L came over on Saturday and we had a quiet day in watching movies (Moulin Rouge, Romeo & Juliet, Footloose, Flashdance and 10 Things I Hate About You - girly heaven!) while Mr T and his friend R went walking in the Yorkshire Dales. In thigh deep snow. Fools.

Yesterday I spent as long as physically possible in bed then watched tv and caught the repeat of Glee on C4. I'm officially hooked and delighted that there is finally something for me to watch on Monday evenings that isn't a repeat of QI or Mock The Week or anything that Mr T wants to watch.
