Jobs and shit - part 2
Well, I'm in a better mood than I was the other night - thank Heaven.
Wayne was really hyper yesterday - he was like a kid with a new toy. We were writing the blurb for the new Calendar; we work really well together - he has an idea and I refine it, and then we swap roles. Well, I'd just had a brilliant idea ;D, and Wayne said, 'God, Rose, I hope you don't get this job with Corporate Partnerships!' and I said, without pausing for thought, 'Well, you'd better make me a better offer, then, hadn't you?'. And HE said, 'If I get the Director's post, I promise you I'll make you a better offer.' I just sat there, slightly stunned. First of all, it was the first time he'd even mentioned to me that he was going for the job; second of all, the whole (brief) conversation made me feel he really values me. I mean, I know he does - but it still gave me a little rush.
When I got home today, I found a letter from Personnel saying there hadn't been enough interest in the editor's job so they are advertising externally, but keeping my application to go with any they get in the next round. So, fingers are re-crossed on that one!
And we have another huge 'phone bill to pay - I'd convinced myself it wasn't going to be as bad this month - plus 5 weeks worth of food money to put aside. I just hope I get the amount of Family Credit I'm expecting or we are in deep doo-doo! *sigh* Oh, well, it's only money........
OK, I'm off to write ch6 of Aftermath - another letter from Raine! Bye for now.
