Please note, I have placed the above in quotation marks. As in, I don't necessarily think that, but I was texting with a couple of friends yesterday, and that is how they referred to The Boss. Which was exceedingly funny, I thought, and Mistress thought so too, after she had gotten over her heart attack at initially hearing the word. I thought it was interesting how not one, but two of my friends referenced her that way on the same day, and these two friends wouldn't have been in communication with one another at all. Of course, neither of these friends know about the Sir situation, but still. Mistress said it was, in a way, nice that at least one of her boys felt comfortable at least acknowledging the word lol.
Both interviews I had yesterday went EXCEEDINGLY well, and I have actual follow up interviews with the actual employers, both today as well. Within an hour of each other even, so hopefully the first interview goes to time for the half hour they anticipate. Mistress said why didn't you say you just couldn't do the second interview a bit later, but that's not my personality type, I guess. It's a bit of a pity though, because the agency that interviewed me for the lower paying job seemed the nicer one. I am sure the other agency is nice, but the recruiter just seemed a bit more stand offish in the interview. Didn't make me feel as comfortable as the girls in the other place.
Anyways, both employers sound like good options in the long term. It will come down to the feel of the places in the interview, as well as the probable $13K difference in wages. The higher paid job comes with rotating shifts that include graveyard, so I asked Mistress whether she preferred me having normal office hours or a bit all over the place. She said if Sir does get one of those FIFO jobs he is hoping for, normal hours would be preferable because when she gets a job, if I am on shift work there may be times that the kids aren't supervised at home. But my shifts will come out a month in advance, and with the pay differential, it might be a no brainer.

With that conversation, about which job option she would prefer me to do, it was a real adult conversation with Mistress. EEK! No, not really, that was just a fake eek, it is lovely to have real discussions with her. And it was a bit lol when I was on the phone with one of the agencies, the kids were being noisy in the background (well one of them) and she asked whether I could speak and I said yeah, I had chased the kids out of the room. Very domestic sounding hahaha.
And Mistress was feeling blah with the day, and while I was off interviewing, when I rang her and heard how blah she was, I just was wishing I was with her to I dunno, hug her or something. But even though I am here 24/7, I can't actually be to hand every second of the day. Especially when I am working. But being Here is a much better option than being There. If the above made any sense at all.

And the more the day went on, the more blah she got. I reset one of her games on her mobile phone right to the beginning, and when I realised that I had done that, I prepared myself for a whack around the ears, but after a few deep breaths, she just said these things happen, and then went OCD on removing paint from one of the cupboards.
And then I managed to cheer her up for the evening with Adele. Whom she hadn't really heard of before, and definitely hadn't seen the vids of. And she kept going to the live performances, and the live performance of covers, such as Aretha and Sam Cooke and all that other old stuff. I could literally see her blahness just lift off her.

Was lovely to see.
