    Hello all

    Only one more sleep to go and I will know if I got the job.. It has felt like an eternity, even if it was only a few days..
    The agency emailed today to say that the initial feedback was very good..

    Work wise, my current contract finishes on the 31st March.. Still no sign of an extension.. My boss is totally avoiding the conversation.. I have no idea what's going on at all..:o

    I am absolutely shattered.. For some odd reasons, I fell asleep at 9pm last night, slept for an hour then woke up.. unable to fall asleep again..it was 3am before I could nod again.. Then up early for an off site meeting.. Last time I looked in the mirror today, there was a rather scary looking zombie looking back at me :eek:.. hopefully no repeat of this debacle tonight..

    Hope you are all well..

    Froggy

    Good luck, Froggy.

    Oh, and wear your seatbelt. My kids are only alive because they were wearing theirs when somebody else was driving in wet weather with worn tyres.     :)

    Fingers crossed :T.
    A positive attitude may not solve all your problems, but it will annoy enough people to make it worth the effort
