wish upon a dogstar

i got a call just now from that media/games company that interviewed me a few weeks ago. it looks like they will need someone to come in around february as one of their guys is leaving. they asked me to go to their offices at the beginning of january to meet their team and if all goes well he made it sound like they would make me an offer to join them and start in february.

i have applied to this place 4 times in the last year or so, and through a combination of bad luck and bad timing it has not come off. i know there are people out there better than me but i know there aren't that many better than me, for me to keep missing out.

things are looking good although i shall not be counting my chickens before they hatch. its just nice to know there is a more than reasonable chance of escape from this bank, come the new year. the moral of the story is to be persistent and its not a question of how many times you succeed but more a question of how many times you can fail.

in the meantime i shall see what comes up in the new year. until i get a piece of paper saying they have offered me a contract i will carry on looking and see what i can see. have been close to a lot of jobs only to have missed out at the last second.

in other news work is same as always. frustrating, idiotic, non-sensical and dull.
have to stay late tonight which is a bit shit, but i am getting paid so i shouldn't really grumble. i remember the days i worked crazy hours for no extra money so it shows we have not totally regressed proffessionally although it does feel like it sometimes.

i ordered a couple of books to read as it had been a while since i have read anything new. the first book is all about hyper-v (techy geeky shit) and the second book is all about the band motley crue. i remember when i was at school one of my friends was really into them and he came to school the day after he saw them play and was proudly showing off a stain on his white jacket which was caused by nikki sixx spitting oh him. we were all very impressed and he was very proud of his stain. ahh, those were the days.

have a lovely day flower. don't work too hard.
