It never rains, but it pours…

Well, at last some good news, resulting from an interview this morning. Barring major (or even middling) hiccups I have a contract job starting on  Thursday. This will take me up to the end of the year. It does mean however that a load of stuff I had planned to do on my computer will have to wait. I’m knee deep  in forms to fill in, declarations to make, software to gem up on. Not to mention I’ll have to get permission to extend my overdraft with the bank (it’ll probably be 2 months before I see any money).

Other than that, it certainly felt like Autumn here today. The leaves are starting to fall, it started raining mid-morning and hasn’t stopped (although it hasn’t been particularly heavy). Plus I turned the lights on at 2.30 as it was so dark. Ah well, only 6 or 7 months to Spring!

  1. Yay on your new contract job! My roomie is doing contract work, too, and just keeps showing up until they say stop (she’s on week 4).

  2. After all my moaning about the weather lately the past two days have been just beautiful! Today looks hopeful too. A bit of autumn sunshine is lovely. Good look with the job and overdrafts can be very handy! :o )

  3. Sunday was brilliant but today dull and wet! As Daffy says good luck with the job, which is especially handy at this time of year. I’m lucky in that I’ve never had need of an overdraft! Cheers.

  4. Thx for the kind comments all! I’ve lasted, um 2 days so far. This coming week will be the big test…
