jobs and ends
Got another interview tomorrow for a job I am spectacularly over qualified for. I'd take the job, tho, probably... I'm getting tired of this unemployed life. Not so much the not working but the uncertainty that goes with it.
Still need to hear either way from three interviews I had in the past week or so. Waiting... waiting... waiting for that magic letter to come through the door with the offer. I'm particularly hopeful about one of them. Seems like a good company and nice bunch of folks... and I've been asked to go in twice to talk to different people. They buy used manufacturing equipment and sell it mostly via the internet. I'd be a technical sales engineer...
The two others would be nice jobs too, but I just didn't get the same positive vibes I got from this other one.
I'm not counting my chickens, tho, as a couple weeks ago the good vibes didn't come to fruition as they ultimately decided to go with a more clerical role for the job, than managerial, so gave it to someone else. They sent me a nice letter the other day tho, after phoning me up to apologise about how it ended up the way it did... and for the delay... and they wished me luck in my quest for a job in Dumfries and Galloway.

Aside from the job search, my attentions have been starting to migrate towards fantasy football. It's nearly that time of year again and I am, as ever, determined to have the best fantasy football team in my old company's charity league. I came in at 2nd place at the end of last season, so nothing short of first place will be acceptable this time around.

I haven't been geographing lately as I've been lazy, I guess. not been going to the gym either... for the same reason. Maybe next week I'll kick myself into gear on those fronts.

Linda is reading the last Harry Potter book. I got into a little trouble (again) the other day when I made a comment about something I saw in the book when I glanced at one of the pages in the middle. They were seemingly discussing Dumbledore or talking to Dumbledore, which confused me because he died in the last book. Anyway, I mentioned it and apparently EVEN THE MENTION of a little tidbit of information like that is enough to potentially spoil the book for her.... so I got a strict telling off. Last year, I made a major faux pas when I mentioned that I saw all over the internet that Snape killed Dumbledore.
Apparently, the idea is, that you're supposed to not know these things until you get to that part in the book. I never think those things are that important.... but then I'm not really into reading... and especially not fiction. If I read a book, say about World War II, I already know that the Nazis lose. Big deal.
