96 Remembered

My scheduled interview on Friday is not in Wakefield as I'd first been told but in Hull. It will take me an hour and a half to get there. I didn't even want to work in Wakefield let alone travel to an interview in Hull but with no offers on the table I have to see what I can get. It seems silly to travel that far, and with the expense, for something I don't really want. I can't remember what the potential salary is but I don't think it would be particularly worth it.

I should have spent some time this afternoon researching the company in preparation but I needed to do some cleaning and I watched the Hillsborough Memorial on BBC News. It was difficult to watch, emotionally. I didn't know anyone who was killed that day and it happened when I was starting to lose interest in football. I can remember coming home that Saturday afternoon and my Mum telling me that something had happened at that game's afternoon. The game had been stopped after 6 minutes and there was a rising death toll. Questions were asked whether the game should be replayed but my Mum said (possibly what a lot of people were saying) "They were there because they loved football..." It was a fair enough assessment at the time but it's scandalous that no one has yet been held accountable for something that happened twenty years ago.
