Foot in the Door.

awards night 33

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.

  2. Just cross the fingers on one hand at a time. Life can be done single-handed right?

  8. This 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...

  9. Outstanding achievements always become outsatnding job offers. (old proverb that I just made up. It's a good one, though...)

  11. I'm like you-- "Tell me NOW" patience is the one thing I missed when they were handing out virtues.


    You're a beautiful couple!

  15. Well, now. That's a cliff-hanger! I suppose it's worse for you, though, since you're living it.
