| Hey Kristen, that sounds good to meInterview - hmm, what can I say. I thought it went pretty well but they still said no. I suspect there was an internal candidate. Bummer really as the job was similar to what I do now (but easier) and more money!! It's their loss - will be on the next train to Suffolk (or was it Norfolk :)steveTo alcohol !

| Thanks everyone, especially Tara and tuenty.Brett, how did you know that I'm 6'6"??? Though the mention of networks gives me the creeps at the moment - see other posts (Mustn't think about it, mustn't think about it,....)Kristen, just found that some very good friends are moving from Swansea back oop Norf, sounds like a good reason to move to suffolk to me, now how am I going to persuade wiffy??steveTo alcohol !

| "how am I going to persuade wiffy"You'll be so busy working, and so contented, that you won't be bugging her. That should do it ... plus you'll be commissioning the company's jeweler to make her some lovely pieces - hes making a couple of Claret Jugs at present, similar to what the Romans used to have, a snip at 25K the pair ...Kristen |

| Steve, would you be interested in seeing my resume? I'll e-mail it to you if you want. It's rather old and doesn't reflect my current DBA knowledge or my current job, but it may help you out. Right before we were outsourced a couple of companies ago, they hired an HR company to help us with our resume writing. The format at least might give you some ideas.Tara |

| Funny you should mention that, but the plot is definitley thickening. There is a lot happening politically at the moment (too complex and boring to detail) but suffice to say that the balance of power is shifting and there is a (small) chance that they will be disbanded - of course it could be too late for me by then, I could be in sunny SuffolksteveTo alcohol !
