Jobs Are Like Buses...

... nothing for ages, then 3 come along at once!


Viki's not had any interviews or anything for some time, and was getting a bit demoralised, but in the space of 3 days she's almost got 2 full time jobs, and she's definitely got one part time one!

First there was an interview on Monday, through in Stromness, and she's waiting for the phonecall to say "yes" or "no", but the interview was very positive, and she even got measured for wellie boots (I'll leave it to your imaginations what the job is!).

Then, yesterday there was a phone call about a part time job in a shop, asking if she could come in for interview this morning. Which she did, and got a phone call later today to say she'd got it. It's just a couple of evenings a week, but it's a job!

And then, this morning, she got a phone call from an office saying that the job she had originally applied for a couple of weeks ago had gone, but there was a sudden vacancy for someone in admin, and could she come in for an interview today at 2pm? She did, had her interview, and didn't leave until the end of the work day! And she's in there again tomorrow, and Friday, and by that time both they and she should have worked out if this is the right job for her.

So it looks like


are in order, and in a few days, this should be Viki (but she'll maybe be wearing wellies and a hairnet!):


This is the best news in ages... 2009 is starting off the right way!

For me? Then y r they in a locked box that says "Viki's Property - Keep Out" on it?

But of course you should keep them... mibbe the crab murderers will b vvvvvvvvvv sexy guys... and mibbe you will hav 2 find "ways" 2 persuade them 2 help u set free the poor crabs?

And if there will b a coff shortage (neeeeeeeeeeeeeem!), then better I look after the jar that we have.
