Fixit had the appointment with the a Rival Workplace's Apprentice Wrangler on Wednesday. I wish I could say he came home with a job offer but real life doesn't always work like that. He had a very good talk with the guy and it sounds like there are vague possibilities. I would have liked concrete, but there you go. There was nothing concrete. Word has it that some of the Rival Workplace's current intake are failing their schooling, in which case Mister "Outstanding Apprentice" Fixit would be a very good addition to their crew, if not a replacement. However. I suspect ousting a dud apprentice and replacing him or her with a very good one would require a lot of paperwork and protocol, which of course means that nothing will happen in a hurry. This, when you are Instant Gratification Girl like I am, is very frustrating. The best I think we can hope for is the 2010 intake and the R.W.A.W. did tell Fixit to submit for that. I'd cross my fingers but I'll be needing to use them between now and then.
I can keep my fingers crossed however. And I will
ReplyDeleteJust cross the fingers on one hand at a time. Life can be done single-handed right?
ReplyDeleteI'll be keeping mine crossed in my mind. Gorgeous photo!
ReplyDeleteWhat a lovely picture! The right job will come along. The cream always rises to the top.
ReplyDeleteFingers crossed!
ReplyDeleteNo wonder you love purple so much... it is definitely YOUR color. Hope you have that one framed!
Go, Fixit, go!
ReplyDeleteAnd you in that dress? Dear GOD, woman! Breathtaking!
Why thank you! Almost anything would look fabulous after the scuzzy bronchitis photo though!
ReplyDeleteThis is all good news. I wanted the instant result too for Stuart, but it took another four months of holding our breath and waiting and hoping. But it did happen. And slowly but surely, things are gradually improving. Sometimes the foot in the door gradually prises it open, and then all of a sudden, you get the call.............. I think it will work out, and Fixit will get in, sort of cream rising to the top sort of feeling.. Love you Sis...
ReplyDeleteOutstanding achievements always become outsatnding job offers. (old proverb that I just made up. It's a good one, though...)
ReplyDeleteGorgeous photo.keep it up..
ReplyDeleteThanks
It's hard to wait sometimes, isn't it, but things sure sound like they're looking up. And you two in that photo there, gorgeous.
ReplyDeleteI'm like you-- "Tell me NOW" patience is the one thing I missed when they were handing out virtues.
ReplyDeleteYou're a beautiful couple!
Sounds like all three men in your house are excelling!
ReplyDeleteI'll keep my fingers crossed that he lands a position soon.
The photo... Outstanding!
Now Stomper, be patient. All good things come to those who wait.
ReplyDeleteGorgeous dress BTW. I bet he won Apprentice with the Hottest Date as well.
Great Photo of the two of you..
ReplyDeletewith his results, you and the beautiful boys by his side.. all is possible ...Fixit will get a better offer
stay positive..good change is on it's way...it may just be caught in traffic
Well, now. That's a cliff-hanger! I suppose it's worse for you, though, since you're living it.
