Thanks for all the good juju, y'all. If they make me an offer, it's going to come down to salary and benefits, because my cost of living will actually increase with this move, do we shall see.

*huggles Woohoos*
I like the sig Nola, the bubbles look okay though, could be a bigger perhaps for a better effect IMHO.
Just back from the job interview. It went well and I was well qualified for the job, but apparently the are/were looking for someone for a longer period of time and it was a minus that I went to Australia for a couple of months in the summer.
I still have to hear if I got the job or not(still some other applicants after me) but it all depended on if they wanted someone for a longer period of time or just a good person for a short time.
Strange thing was that the contract they offer is only for 3 months, so that is why I replied on the position, but apparently they offer each time 3 month contracts so they can be more flexible.
It's just a wait and see now!sigpic

Doesn't seem to make much sense does it Jann But I guess having somebody ongoing in three-monthly slots is different to wanting someone just on a temporary basis. I hope you get something that you like - you're going to need lots of cash for that trip to Oz
Just had a nice lunch with Suz. We went to Worplesdon Place, which is a Beefeater, and although the food was nice it wasn't up to Stuart's standards. The contents of the steak and ale pie were delicious, but the 'pie' was more the consistency of a pudding - I like my pastry crisp, not stodgy The apple and maple syrup crumble pie was yummy, but the ice-cream tasted like they'd frozen some squirty cream - yuk! Nice, friendly, efficient staff and very reasonable price. I'd give it a 7 out of 10

Yeah Jumble it was weird. Just got a call from city hall and even though they loved me and I left a very good impression they wanted someone for the long term so I didn't get the job. (as I already suspected) They mentioned "it's not personal" too!
So the search goes on. I just find it weird that I had to go to the interview while it's already in my "file" (from the temp agency) that I'm leaving halfway throughout the year; it's something they knew beforehand! Oh well. Bummer.
On the positive side I'm getting paid at home for doing things in the household now mom bruised her ribs and has to rest a lot.
Yay for the good lunch with Suz! Sounds good though, but you're being spoiled with Stuart so (almost) nothing can compare to that!sigpic

Just came in to sort of wave hello....no energy! Been really sick and if breathing is a requirement...I'm in big trouble. However it's balanced out by the cough from hell. Haven't had a cold in a very long time so life is trying to balance itself - using my dilapidated body as the game board.
Going back under the covers....bye for now!sigpic
