It's annoying when a suspected outcome comes to pass. Or, to be more precise, it's annoying when what you're expecting is not going to be the best news comes to pass.*
This, of course, is in regards to the other job. Which I didn't get (well, it's all still informal at the moment, but it's been pretty much accepted by another applicant, so...). Apparently, they ended up getting a whole pile o' applications, so even to make it to the final three was an achievement of sorts. Which is nice. In the end though, as they were supposed to get back to us last Friday, and given they didn't, and that the days were dragging past, it wasn't terribly surprising to hear from Joanna this morning that things hadn't gone totally to plan.
Still, there are upsides to this (silver linings.... grab...) so I'm not totally cut up about it. More disappointed that it wasn't even offered to me! Not leet enough, obviously. Ah well, at least I'll be getting my thesis mark back in a day or two.
Hmm, this week could end up totally sucking :)
Well, I've struck out, so all my good luck must have been taken by other job hunters such as this guy, or perhaps the other mysterious job hunter (or should I say head hunted) type person out there. Go you good things.
In other unrelated news, I was planning on having a party on Saturday night at Holly Road, but now this can no longer be (damn busy social calendar). So instead I'm proposing to have a day party on Saturday. I'll hunt out a bbq, and we can have lunch, beer, and guitar in the sunshine. This, of course, is dependent on getting said sun to shine. No sun, no party.
*Actually, being ultra-hard to please, even if I've suspected what is going to happen is going to be good, I'm still a little disappointed if it isn't better than expected! Stupid brain/imagination/hope thing.
First of all, bugger and good luck for thesis mark.
Second of all, sounds like a good LAN break. What number Holly is it?
