Default Bandit's got a job...

Hey folks,


Well, after a week of interviews with 2 agencies, and knowing which one I prefered, I was totally gutted to get an email this morning saying that they won't be taking things any further? Not happy...

Then another email saying pls call the other agy I went to see, so call them, and they want me to start on Wednesday and even put the starting salary up too!!! Even without asking...

So - today is Friday, a day for celebrations - and I'm off out to meet some BE'ers in Gastown later, and frankly after having been really pissed off about not getting the job I wanted, I'm now kind of relieved just to have a job, and I get my own PA! Me, with a PA, who could imagine!!!!

So - a million thanks to all the vibes and I guess there is reason things have worked out they way they have.....

Coolio -

Well, I could lie and say she is a Minger - but sadly not, she's very pretty, long blond hair and a figure to die for...

But I won't be introducing you ....

Congratulations Bandit!

What will you be doing in your role? Having your own PA - sounds very impressive!

Wish I could come help you celebrate!!!

Hope you settle in well and enjoy the job, when do you start?

Adele :-)

Congrats Bandit! Well done you. Considering it wasn't that long ago you were in UK and now landed in Canada as a citizen, really well done!

Adele, how do you like my maple leaf tattoo?

Congrats M - and things work out the way they do for some (currently unknown) reason - so a few more days off, then back to earning a crust - good for you - and I hope you enjoy it all. Have fun!
