...not so much as confused...

Does NO! suddenly mean yes??? One of my viewees (the rather timid-looking one) has become a stalker. To date he has had three different branches of the estate agents call me, all to highlight his "seriousness" in my flat. The last call was today, when he asked them to reiterate that although he could not up his offer any further than originally...offers that were rejected THREE TIMES...he was still very keen that his offer be reconsidered. A woman of so few words...I said NO...AGAIN!!!

My reputation precedes me…obviously!!!

I am now gainfully employed...it had to be done after all...what with my flat still on the market, steadily depleting funds and boredom as a constant companion...what's a girl
to do...right?

AND…I have staff…after promising myself that I would NOT do that to me EVER again…alas there are only four and they are all male…heaven!!!

While considering my current position, I went for an interview, on arrival something felt familiar and I realised I had actually interviewed there some seven years ago. I distinctly remembered not liking the individual I met, however, operating on the assumption that far too many years had passed to encounter the same person, I proceeded…you know what I’m going to say!!!

The only difference about this meeting was that she “knew” me…had heard "sooo" much about me and speculated on why I would “give up” such a “marvellous” job in the middle of a recession…she thought I was “verah brave” …anyways…halfway through the interview, answering the questions like I was auditioning for Mastermind I noticed no one was writing anything, with competency-based interviews this is a must, it dawned on me that I was not actually being interviewed but brought there to be gawped at!!!

Later, a former colleague received a call, asking for the “low-down” on me…what a wasted afternoon as the conclusion was made that it was not a good fit by me and I was over-qualified, by them!!!
