Well even if my job search is going terribly it's nice to know that Dan's isn't. He wasn't even looking for a job, but last week the owner of the company sent out an advertisement saying they were offering a secondement for a manager's position. As far as I can tell, his company hierarchy is like this:
House Workers---->House Head----->Managers----->Owners
Right now Dan is a house worker. He decided to go for the interview even though he was fairly certain some truly terrible sounding woman named *Clarisse would get it, which she did. He was really sad for a bit. But then the owner offered him Clarisse's house head job for three months :D, since apparently he'd been impressive in the interview or something. Whether he keeps the job or not is dependent on how good Clarisse is at the management secondement, but either way Dan gets management experience and a nice little bump in pay for at least 3 months. And his boss told him to apply again for the management position at the end of three months as well! :D
I'm very happy for him, but also annoyed that I've been sending out stuff and actually LOOKING for a job, while Dan was contentedly working and a promotion just fell into his lap. I'm a terrible person. Must. Be. Happy. For. Boyfriend.
I hate this. Eight months is too long to not work. Also, any potential wedding is going to be at a registry's office if I don't find something ASAP. Gah.
