[14:46] ...which is when my head exploded Officer
Man, what a day. I love the holiday season. Not because I go on holiday, but because everyone else does. Today was the first day that most everyone was back on board at work and the fragile peace of the last two weeks was brutally and incontrovertibly shattered. I also noticed that the cough that I'd been carrying and finally lost last week came back today, I don't know if that's something to do with the air-con or if I'm allergic to people or what.
Apart from getting all kinds of crazy e-mails and phone calls, today was also the day when a lot of the jobs that I wrapped up and distributed over the last several months (because they weren't "my" job, that's why) all came back and landed in my lap. No-one told me we were playing pass-the-damn-parcel and I think it's a little unfair that ALL of the packages came back with just one layer of paper left :)
On the bright side, I got bites on two lines, both baited with reasonably significant job possibilites, hmmm, with that analogy perhaps I should be biting on their line, or maybe I'm the bait and the jobs are the fish....OK so I got that a bit backwards and it didn't really work out - lets all smile and skim over that, move along, nothing to see here.
Anyway, both jobs are infinitely more funarific (I suspect) but are probably going to pay less because they're not contracting but there's only so much Excel one man can do in a day and I'm pretty sure I'm ODing right now. I'm freaking out now because I'm going to have to do interviews and neither of the jobs are in a field that I've worked in for at least the last six months. I'm hoping that I'm not going to be asked any mind-numbingly precise technical questions because the potential question field is, for all intents and purposes, infinite which means I need an infinte period of time to study, which I don't have.
Either way, the next few weeks are going to be an interesting and educational experience and I'll get to see if my year (well six months) in the wilderness has garnered any useful new skills!
