[Inkers] You credited evil_edna! I'm touched, and you have attained a higher ranking than I ever did - my best was No. 4, by accident, once. *Blushes* You have learned well, glasshopper.

Found out today that I didn't get the new job I'd gone for, but, hey - new car and new flat - two out of three's not bad!

Commiserations once, and congrats twice then, Uncle K.

[Phil] Ta! Of course, the new job would have helped to pay for the other two...

[UK] How did the play go? Bad luck about the job, sure there's another (and hopefully better) one waiting for you.

Which reminds me - congrats to Nadia, and thanks for the cheque.

[Lib] Play went astonishingly well, as it happens... no major cock-ups anywhere, and I managed to learn all of my lines in time for the opening night (which helps)! Still a little puzzled about the job, as I felt I gave a cracking interview, I fulfilled the criteria, and I'm a redeployment case, so I get preferential treatment (supposedly). I'm going to take them up on their offer of a feedback interview - I'm hoping that it's because they decided to employ two people who were excellent, rather than not employing me because I was crap.
