*victory dance* I passed my latest assignment, yahoo.  Only 6 pages *wince*. 

SO I've been for a few interviews lately, one of which wanted to get back to me after the state manager returned from her honeymoon.  I went back there for a second interview, but the Australia-wide manager who I was meant to be meeting just couldn't be there and oops they couldn't be bothered to ring me to tell me that.  So I took 2hours out of WORK TIME to go over there getting my head bitten off by bosslady (who by the way has made a few sheepish admissions about not being the best at handling conflict negotiations and has been fabulous since she has realised she has found a job somewhere else). 

SO, I got snapped at for going out for a few hours, only to find out the guy I was meant to be meeting who arranged it could not make the meeting.  So at the end of the interview she mentions that they want me to go back there at some later stage for 2 hours of skills assessment and then a third interview.  FOR CRYING OUT LOUD. Their offices are about 20 mins out of the city from where I work.  We're preparing for bosslady leaving.  Trying to get everything in order as much as possible.  Aaargh.  I told the agent how I feel. The would be employer has arranged the skills assessment for Sat morning instead of during the week.  I'm still iffy about the job.  The idea of a new job is really enticing, and more money would be VERRRY handy.  We'll see. 

Angel...

Well, in a moment of weakness I might've accidentally copied him in on an email joke.  One of a multitude of people b'cc'd but it immediately got a response asking how I was, telling me he had seen me last week crossing the road (damn the work proximity), and that I looked fantastic and he thinks of me often.  Damn.  It was lovely to hear.  I'm not weakening I'm not.  It is impossible though to believe that missing his friendship isn't at some point tied into the rest... so I can't encourage it.  But damn it was good to hear from him and yes I responded via email in a friendly but not a flirty way.  Still I'm considering it falling off the wagon momentarily even though I didn't do anything other than chat over email in a sociable way. 

I was pathetically pleased to hear that his friend who seemed to actively meddle in our friendship in the past, seems to have lost his shine lately and the two have parted company.  It's mean as they were close but I also think this friend of his was using him up.  I've been careful not to share my opinion with Angel too much as I know eventually they'll mend bridges.  Good friends always do and I don't want to meddle. 

Interviews...

I'm waiting to hear about one of the 3 interviews I've been on a week or so ago apparently I'm shortlisted down to the last person.  The recruiter has also tried to ring me this afternoon (my mobile was switched to silent), so I'll keep my options open if it is another interview.  Fingers crossed.
