The new John le Carre thriller indeed. Well, no, actually, we were at Westfield having Chinese for lunch, when the phone rang. Unknown number, as has been occurring often lately. Are you free to talk - well, I am in a food court, but yes, I can definitely talk. Another challenging role, with which I have had similar experience in my career a decade ago, and running on adrenaline during the conversation, and doing it very well for ninety percent of the time, Mistress and Sir rolling their eyes at what I was saying the other ten percent.
Hey, it got me a secondary interview. I come all the way over Here from There a few weeks ago, just to have this interview via Skype back to that side of the country, a bit ironic in my books lol. And after that one, away from the food court, I lined up another two interviews. And had another two phone calls back and a strong email back as well. I said to one of my mates back There, I have interviews coming out of my ears now. One today, one tomorrow, one next Tuesday. Mistress said it was likely the recruiters were waiting for closing dates to go through before ringing back.
So yes, the day was a bit disjointed again. In the morning Mistress and I had coffee with my father, who was overnighting in town going from home to work (he is a FIFO worker). Mistress asked me before we got there to remind her what his name was, which the two guesses she made she got completely wrong. I asked her later what she thought my Mum's name was. If we add the hairdresser's guess of my name, we have a Simon, son of Bev and Terry lol. Actually, can I buy a vowel? Hehehe.

Coffee with Dad was good, but he was a bit tired. Sir didn't show interest in coming out and doing coffee with him, and with the day he was having, Sir likely didn't need any additional complications such as Dad visiting the house lol. We will leave that for the full parental and grandparental visit NEXT MONTH hahahaha.
Then it was out to Westfield for lunch and to pick up Sir's suit. Another day off, but again, he had to oversee his workplace. And go in for a few hours in the afternoon. Which Mistress wasn't happy about - she said to me, as we were doing the groceries later on, much as I love to spend time with you, it's HIS DAY OFF. Yeah, well, it didn't look too much like a day off to me.

Not too much else happened yesterday. Oh, apart from the seemingly usual kids' stuff.
Just a short time ago today, Mistress aced an interview, over the phone, over There (what is with these national recruiters, can't they have offices here or something), and, after hearing what they MAY be paying her if she gets this position (she is the perfect candidate apparently), I could potentially be a FULL TIME house elf. Wouldn't that be a turn up for the books lol.
