Good grief MMC - what the heck is going on with your aura and karma these days?! 
We're all sending so many good BE vibes to you these days, maybe we've overdone it and the wires have got crossed on the "good" luck bit ....

I'm sending good Karma your way (I hope). You'll be great at your interview, I've never met you but your personality just shines through so I think you'll do fine.

Oh Mands that ****ing sucks the FAT one. I'd like to say I can imagine how D feels but I cant even begin to (ok I can just about begin to having been a vaguely similar position). You know 'we' are always here on BE, in PMs and at the end of the phone.
