Things Wot Occurred.

Today I have seen:

Someone decide to not park in the free, perfectly sized space, left vacant at the side of the road, but rather instead park on the almost exactly car-length of double yellow lines next to it.

Today I joined:

The 21st Century. Yes, I now have an MP3 player. No crappy iPod for me, no siree, I have a "free" Sandisk Sansa m230 which I got for joing Napster or something. I now have a larger variety of music in my car, and no need to worry about that black spot from my drive into work where I lose radio signal.

Today I have:

Found out I didn't get the job. Bugger. Apparently it was "close" and well, I knew I screwed up one bit when the fire alarm went off, so hey-ho.

Tip of the Day.

Always remember, do not drop brand new, extra large bottles of Olive Oil on tiled kitchen floors.

That was a bugger and a half to tidy up.

Interesting.

So today was the big day, the day of the presentation, the day of the day-long interview, the day of pretending I'm really interested in the job when frankly I'm not entirely sure.

Today was also the day that everyone else got to meet the potential buyer for XYZ Publishing.

So what can I say, today went... OK. As well as any other interview, I guess. Good points, bad points, you know the drill and I won't bore you with it.

What is more interesting is that which I missed out on. The buyer is apparently... "nice." He wants to keep my office open (whether that means I would even have a positions there, or even doing something akin to what I want to do is another matter), and he even wants to keep the office open in Orange.

He buys quite a few publishing companies, and has quite a Portfolio. He likes to ensure they keep their own identity. And anything anyone can say, is that seems quite "nice."

Which is nice.
