Well, I don't know what the boys will think....

Come on then, spill the beans...

Oh great - you're starting a new job?

Who are these boys of whom you speak? I think we should be told

It'll be the cats, sunseeker...

Waiting in great anticipation ..................

I applied for an admin job, got an interview, was in there ages. The chap said he was interviewing 6 candidates, and felt it was only fair to warn me that 2 of them had previous experience in the relevant sector. He kept going back to other sections on my CV and asking about them.

All of a sudden he threw his pen down on the desk and said "Well, you've got me completely flummoxed! I wasn't looking to expand the sales department, but would you consider that sort of role?"

I said that perhaps he needed to have a think and get back to me, but in the meantime I would email him a reference if he wanted one. I don't usually use that reference for admin jobs, as it is very sales biased. When I got home, I sent it to him, he phoned about an hour later and asked if I could come in to spend an hour with D & A, the chaps in the sales dept, the next day, although he wouldn't be there. I think the idea was for them to give him their opinion as to whether I would fit in. I did that the next day, then today he phoned and offered me a job.

The salary is very low, but it's better than the nothing that I'm currently earning, and being employed again will hopefully help with the depression.

Well done, phoenix - back in the saddle again!

Of course Ana thanks - I'm a bit slow today!!

Well done phoenix - hope this works out for you.

Thank you Ana! Just hoping I'll be ok with the night driving vision thing once the clocks change and I'm driving in the dark.

Great news Phoenix, well done.

Congratulations Phoenix! You obviously impressed them!
I used to have problems with driving in the dark, but am much more comfortable since buying some cheap night-driving spectacles from Ebay. They can be proper glasses or clip-ons to wear over prescription ones.

Brilliant news. Well done, and don't bother about the pussies, they'll soon agree on shared territory, sleep til you come home and make a fuss to get attention.

Whooppee dooppee doo! Delighted to hear your good news!

Thank you all, much appreciated!

shysal I tried the over glasses (as I have to wear prescription ones) and they were fine as long as I was in an area with street lights. As soon as I turned off into the unlit lanes they were too dark for me to able to see properly.

I ended up taking them on and off like a whores drawers!

Well done phoenix, not a bad talent, generating your own new job!

Well done you sock it to them and show them how its done

Wishing you success in your new job, P.

That is the best news I have heard for a long time. Going back to work will lift the depression and the boys will hopefully soon adapt. They may appreciate their mother more as they do Mr.P when he comes home at the weekend. Have a glass of wine this evening.

Way to go phoenix. Who else would sell themselves so well that a job was created specially for them?

Yay! Well done phoenix, I'm really pleased for you

Many congrats phoenix and well done to you

Oh what cracking news - well done Phoenix. You are well named - always rising from the ashes. Just hope they appreciate what they are getting and you make them glad they found you!
