OS Daily Thread - Saturday 11th October

Morning all - wow lots of early risers this am
welcome dinkydido - you'll love it here
Beth - good on you :T :T :T :T :T :T :T
Jet :eek: but also :T :T :T

regular readers will remember that way back in July I interviewed for a job, passed the interview and was placed on a reserve list having come fourth when there were three vacancies. at the time I spoke to HR to find out how this reserve list thingy works and was told that I would defo be employed in the autumn and would get automtic call up papers as they were expecting that there would be a vacancy then. Imagine then my shock when "my" job was advertisd in the local paper yesterday. I called HR but was told by the chap that he doesn't know much about ..... well HR. Afte going around in circles for a bit I burst into tears so my manager is going to try to sort it out on Monday. I know for a fact that there are 2 immediate vacancies but have been told that the advert relates to jobs for MARCH! - hmm. this is a 2 grand pay rise but more importantly is in the kind of court where you get to wear a gown and tell people to be upstanding so I'm quite keen to start asap

the other exciting news is that I went out last night - after dark - with people I'm not related too - I know and what's more I'm doing it again tonight! What is the world coming to! Last night was a housewarming/weddinganniversary/birthday thingy and tonight is a fancy dress :eek: birthday party - it's miles away so I'm debating whether to brave the three buses or splash out on an expensive cab

have a good day everyone

You are both so fab

Sunny and lovely here. Going to put some washing on. Our washing line pole has broken at the top but I'd like DH to mend it somehow rather than just buy another one. He's still fast asleep though.

Had a kind of exasperating day at college yesterday - have 2 under 16 school refusers in 2 separate classes and the one yesterday is just so difficult. He holds up the rest with childish behaviour and ressentment. I was interested in the beginning, in seeing how this would work. Now I just think it's such a rubbish idea. I even emailed about it this morning. Saturday morning . Can you see it's got to me?

Ok, onwards with a lovely weekend.

(((hugs))) to those having a difficult time
