Have you got the job?

loopylou Wed 24-Jun-15 19:19:19

Come on phoenix- TELL US!!!

annsixty Wed 24-Jun-15 19:25:01

I thought that yesterday phoenix said she was working. Am I imagining that?

Ana Wed 24-Jun-15 19:27:41

Wasn't she working before anyway? Part time I think.

Anne58 Wed 24-Jun-15 19:31:58

I don't want to jinx this, but yes, it is work related!

Anne58 Wed 24-Jun-15 19:32:55

Sorry, still bopping about in the home office to that ^^ tune grin

annsixty Wed 24-Jun-15 20:02:24

Is this another job then or or we all confused?

Ana Wed 24-Jun-15 20:05:58

I think phoenix must be talking about the job she recently applied for. The 'deckchair instructions' one.

Anne58 Wed 24-Jun-15 20:31:10

Got it in one, Ana but after all that I've experienced in the last 3 years (my Deity, I could write a bloody book about some of it!) I'm only 2 days in, just hoping soooo much that I will be able to make this one work!

(Phoenix does the happy dance and trips over a sleeping cat confused grin )

Huh! There were supposed to be 3x^ to indicate the song!!

grannyactivist Wed 24-Jun-15 20:55:56

Go Phoenix!! grin

Anne58 Wed 24-Jun-15 21:06:54

Oooh roses I went to the docs, re my pain in the a*rs# it's thingywhatsitdoobry itis confused

I am only 2 days into the job, I am currently working 3 days a week, so will be in again tomorrow. I cannot tell you how much I am loving it! If I had been asked a few weeks ago to come up with my perfect job, then this one would tick all the boxes, so now of course I'm getting paranoid/nervous as to whether or not I will be kept on!

Oh well, I suppose I should be a bit reassured re the boss coming up to the office yesterday (only day 2!) afternoon and saying he had copied me in on an email that had gone to around 150k people. He did say that he would have preferred to tell me first, but "he forgot" until he hit "send" The email contained the words "If any of you would like to book a place, or want some more information, then please contact our Rachel who will be able to help you* !!!!!

grin PLEASE everyone, keep as much as you can crossed that this will work out!

Deedaa Wed 24-Jun-15 21:11:29

Got so much crossed for you that I may never walk again grin

dustyangel Wed 24-Jun-15 21:18:04

MiniMouse Wed 24-Jun-15 22:12:41

Anne58 Wed 24-Jun-15 23:00:29

Thanks all! Still prone to thinking that it's too good to be true. Must toddle off now, moon

posie Wed 24-Jun-15 23:06:02

Hope it all works out for you phoenix smile

grannyactivist Wed 24-Jun-15 23:11:28

Come on our phoenix - a bit of positivity can inch its way in now that you've got your foot in the door. grin

AshTree Thu 25-Jun-15 08:11:49

I've only just come to this thread, and I'm so pleased for you phoenix - you sound so ^ smile. Everything crossed for you, but it sounds to me as if you're well and truly "in" if that email's anything to go by smile

Anne58 Thu 25-Jun-15 08:17:34

Thank you all! grin

hildajenniJ Thu 25-Jun-15 08:51:35

Well done phoenix. I was out most of yesterday and I'm only just catching up with the happenings here. I hope the job works out well for you. Sounds positive when the boss is referring to you as "our".
