Got a call back for final interview for a cool job. Down to me and one other person. Of course the other person is an internal hire so...

Not letting that spoil the moment.

I'm grateful for all of you! You're all smart and funny and kind. And you put up with me even when I can be a crank and, as the kids say, a little "extra". It's very appreciated.

I was contacted by a recruiter yesterday, looking to bring me in for an interview. It's an inhouse position at a major international firm and it would be incredible if I got it. It's incredible that I'm considered I'd say, but no complaints!

Thanks for the support, I am very excited by the whole thing, Though I have to try to temper myself, I|m definitely not the only person to be contacted.

But that salary, and working with more international tax, it would be so much fun!

Sombra, alas it's not a position at Napster (do they exist still?).

Morgoth is the least Viking Scandinavian ever.

But all the best for the interview!

It's his half term next week so the other half is coming up today for a long weekend. We're off on a training walk tomorrow (with added amazing pub lunch) and meeting my Dad and the dog he's dog-sitting on Monday. I also badly need the extra couple of days off work after the previous shambles of a week. Whew!

Headed up to the old college stomping grounds today. My head football coach passed away last year and today’s the memorial at the school. Get to visit with friends I haven’t seen in 15+ years.

On the other hand, the last time I went back for a reunion I ended up with a 3 day hangover....

I've always been crazy but its kept me from going insane.
