Most of the time it ends up being drink more, rhyme badly.

Excellent idea. I wish I'd thought of saying that in my interview.

Growl. Made it to the final two for a senior position, fell at the last fence. Still, they spoke highly of me and were very nice about it ,"better fit should be coming up in a couple of months, we want to hear from you again".

Sigh. But I want it NOW.

Damn, never mind. Hopefully they remember you in a couple of months time, and it all works out even better.

With any luck it will come along there. They do like me and I have a good rep there - I've done some stuff for them. I was just beaten by a candidate with a better match in background. I don't despair, they were very encouraging about the future. It's frustrating and annoying, but not as annoying as diverticulitis, for example.

Yup, just waiting to get the son and heir to bed then it's cooking sherry time. Not too much though, I still have to work in the morning at stupid old job instead of shiny new job.
