(I have said before that I swear, haven't I? Well, I do.)
Anyways... today was the day of the big interview, and I wasn't as nervous as I have been for some, but not as laid back as others either. I met the other candidates, who really knew their stuff, and had a tour of the educational establishment, as well as a look at the new building.
Afterwards, we each had a little test on using Excel and Word, and Google(!) and other twaddle, and then we had our interviews... which I couldn't help but think I talked too much during, and repeatedly repeated myself myself, but all done now.
One other candidate in particular was right on the button, and internally judging them, I could tell that he would be the sort of person for the job. After we finished, I cheekily asked him for a lift, and got his impressions. I told him that I felt he was the strongest there, so convinced was I that it would be his. He is that good, and was already doing a similar role for less money at another location.
So I get home (about half an hour ago) and the phone rings. Here it comes, the dreaded rejection.
But, lo! What is this?
Why, they only want to give me the bloody job! Hur-fucking-rah! Can I start mid April? Yes! Can we pay you more to work for us? Yes! Can you look after two floors of a brand-spanking new building? Yes!
What's more, I got 100% in that silly test. The only candidate who did. Well, as I said, fuck me.

Woo! and Yay!
Tiny bit? The whole of me, Maris.
I still have to work later this week for XYZ Publishing, which is a bummer. Though is they do treat me like monkey while there, I will tell them where to stick it.

Thanks everyone! You're all too kind!
I was going to say "Well, fuck you!" but a) LordH beat me to it, b)it could easily be taken the wrong way and c)I'm don't actually want to actually do that!
So....before I dig this hole any bigger I shall just say "Congratulations!!" and make a swift exit stage right!
Whale oil, beef hooked!
