I had an interview yesterday. Although I was being interviewed for one particular job, it was mentioned that there were also options open for contract and freelance positions.

I got a phone call today. I'm back in Friday for "induction" as a freelance and working all next week, with a view to moving to contract staff as soon as possible. :D :D :D :D

Thanks to everyone who offered me luck and best wishes. I'm starting the big scary ride back into proper work again.

Well done :D

Stop reminding HK about the good things, balance it up with the downside :lol:

Don't mind early mornings. As long as I have something to listen to in the car, traffic shouldn't be a problem (and I'm generally heading in the opposite direction to most worker bees).

Paying tax, yeah, well, someone has to pay for the pensions.

The boss seemed a reasonable chap during the interview. This employer, oh, alright, it's Saga at their Folkestone offices, seem very keen to have happy and contented wage slaves. It'll be busy (quote from boss yesterday: "There are peaks, and then higher peaks"), but I'd rather be busy than waiting for something to happen.

I'm looking forward to it. Just waiting for an email to let me know what I need to take with me on Friday, and starting the hateful process of looking for some decent clothes. I hate shopping for clothes.

Nice to hear good news. :)

Well done HK although how are you going to understand what the clientele of such an organisation needs? ;) :D

1) I'm not far off the start of their target market age;
2) Best Beloved is well into the target age.

I think I'll cope. :D

Alex, Twiglets? Ick. Doughnuts, though...

Which is curious, given that the most American of doughnuts - the Kripsy Kreme - offers many varieties that look just like that.
