    Thank you! Yet more coffee, maybe I'll be allowed a cup this time.

    I was contacted today about a contract job, it's for six months and pays very well. I'm not holding out any hope of getting an interview, but it something to be contacted at all. I heard back from one of the three potential interviews. They didn't want me as I was too experienced.

    I now have a sweet smelling cat on my lap. I did consider F*br**zing him at one point :o

    Good luck from me too, for a happy working day tomorrow ... what a wealth of valuable knowledge you are bringing to the job: if you overhear anyone complaining about their poo-ey cat (or other livestock) you can intervene and bingo! their problem solved!
    Seriously, hope it goes really well. Love, the fruitcake x

    :rotfl::rotfl:I can also give lesson on how to bath a cat. That is a skill all on its own!

    VERY true! My two turn into sort of wriggly octopus-like things, but with claws, lots of claws .... and double-jointed legs. With more claws ....
