What an interesting couple of days it has been!

Today I had an interview with a recruiter about a stones throw away from where the new flat is. I never know what quite to expect at these sorts of places, I'm usually a bit skeptical. I suppose it harks back to the harrods days, working terribly long hours for something that worked out to be £4 after they'd taken their agency fees! But lessons were learnt. 

I took the day off which I don't feel too good about, I feel worse about the fact I'll have to take tomorrow off to - as I've another two! I don't know what's happened, all of a sudden I'm hearing back from these places at once. It's good though, I needed an injection of positivity. 

So it went well today, the lady was pretty nice and she was keen to get me registered and was confident they'd find me something. Her suggestions for jobs to go for weren't too great but hey, it's something! It was a good warm up for the 'real' ones to come. The first is at Sketchers which is interesting, the job title is exactly the same as what I'm currently doing so that's a plus. They pay is a lot less but I could walk to and from work which is so good. I accept that my salary won't be matched and I'm fine with that. The second interview is for a pretty bland company and it's a bit out of the way, but I thought I should go just to give it a chance and see what happens. 

Then low and behold the chap who interviewed me from Lux emails me apologising for the radio silence!! I couldn't help but grin, I couldn't believe it! He said that they wanted me on their team but they were a bit all over the place with salary stuff with head office, but it should settle soon. He signed off with 'Don't go anywhere!' Which made me tingle a bit. 

So...I'm not sure what to do next really! Just wait and see. I'm so tempted to hand my notice in already and accept any job that crops up before lux but then, ethically that's not a nice way to go about things. I'll see how tomorrow goes anyway. Afterwards I'm hearing back to London to see a friend I haven't seen in years! And then going home on Saturday for Ed's birthday. I can let everything peculate then and talk it over with the family. 

Okay! Let's see how things pan out!!
