My first call for scoring didn't go through to my sign off because it was an amber call (good for my first attempt) and had no insurances. I did another call yesterday (also with no insurances) which has gone forward for my sign off, haven't had feedback from it yet though, and I felt it went horribly.

As long as all is green (Yes, my name is now 'Ruby Rod' "It must be green!!") I will need one more app and 2 insurances. I have a call back to do at 10am today which may yield another app, so watch this space.

I am spending my DYT in the branch this wednesday, sitting with a financial advisor and getting my feet wet before my interview in February, I'm quite looking forward to it, even though I have to gust off my suit and buy tights (shock, horror, probe) before then.

One thing is for sure, I do not want to stay in direct for a long period of time, it would be nice to get to the stage where I know what I'm doing (or at least get signed off!!) but I'm not too bothered.

Onwards and upwards McDuff!!

Ruby Rod? DYT? Gust off your suit...?

It's like a bloody foreign language! Talk English, woman! :D

Sorry dear, let me translate my gibberish for you:
Ruby Rod = character from the Fifth Element (v good film) played by Chris Tucker.
DYT = "Develop Yourself Time" a 2 hour slot Nationwide gives you every month to manage your own development, source courses to go on and that type of thing.
gust of my suit = Dust off my suit, that one was a mis-type :)

Ah! I know who Ruby Rod is now - Paul explained. (That was the best character in the film!) I'm glad to hear the gusting was just a typo though :D

Yeah, Ruby Rod is ace, although I also really liked Vito Cornelius. Did I ever tell you that my sister met Maiwenn Besco (the Diva) at the Royal College of Music and Drama in Cardiff when she studied there?
