        It's started drizzling here but I'm just going out to put the sprinkler on. The hydrangeas are very droopy.

          Gooood midday fellow WW'ers

          Well, they do say "as one door closes, another one opens" and so it does.
          Yesterday I received a call offering me a job; same line of work, different location. Well, I've never been chased up for a job I've haven't applied to before so it would have been rude not to sound interested :heehee: I'm going there this afternoon for a chat and a nosey around :fingers crossed:

          Smiles and vibes for all

            You've been headhunted! :hate-shocked: hope they're civilised headhunters. :heehee: Good luck with the job. don't forget to tell them what hours you want to work and to suggest to them that they can pay a bit more. :snorky:

                :ThankYou:

                Yes, "Head Hunted" indeed! :heehee: They offered hours, different to what I was working before (and very favourable in terms of convenience/flexibility) plus a few extra :yes: As for the pay, she gave me a pay rise during our informal chat without me even mentioning coinage! :huh:
                Win-win! :dbgrtmb:

                That's the funny thing, Bee ... they didn't *know* I was up for grabs! They wanted me anyway :lunapic 130165696578242 5: When I mentioned I had very recently submitted my resignation, it was a case of: "Ok, we'll organise it as a transfer and then you don't lose out on time accrued when it comes to annual leave increases". :highfive:

                I can't stop :heehee: at how spookily timed it is and how it has all worked out. A much, much better *feel* in the atmosphere there, very positive in fact. No sour faces, no stressed huffs and puffs. That is not to say there won't be moments and she was very upfront that it can get quite stressful (which I already know) and which of the staff have the shortest fuses, but, are equally quick to apologise and it is never personal. Overall, it is far more organised and "professional" than the one I've left behind and I can't wait to be a part of their team. Need confirmation of my start date as, technically, I'm still on my notice period. But that is just a minor detail.

                :thumbsup:

                            Aloha everyone,

                            @"M" That's good news :yay:

                            Are they the same company? :scratch:

                            It's foggy here today and rain is forecast. I'll wait until I see what they mean by 'rain' and 'heavy showers' before I put the sprinkler away. Our Hydrangeas have been looking distinctly unhappy this week so have been moving the sprinkler to those flower beds. There's just one more section to water (the rest have perked up after having lots of water) and I'll give the forecasters the benefit of the doubt until this afternoon.

                            Keep well and have a great day :biggrin:

                            Aloha!
