The Sweetest Thing

As I type this, with the title from a U2 song, Mistress was humming and singing beside me to songs on her music player.  Well at least until she went to the Gloria Gaynor 'Dance Mix When You Don't Need A Dance Mix' version of I Will Survive.  Seriously, it was like as if Ricky Martin had got the French horn.  The instrument, as I laugh at myself for that inadvertent double entendre.

But getting away from Gloria Gaynor singing The Heat Is On now - and no, my ears aren't hallucinating - when Mistress sings and hums it is awesome.  She is happy when that happens.  And I like Mistress being happy.  Which is why my music on my phone has suddenly picked up a lot of her music taste, especially when doing our semi regular road trips.  And she sings so well.

Now she - Mistress - is deliberately torturing me with Gloria singing - I use the word advisedly - Careless Whisper.  God knows what the next CD she is going to put on is.  Amy Winehouse.  S'alright.

Anyways, onto the day.  Work was good, I actually put myself into the phone queues today.  And it wasn't all too difficult.  And everyone in the office seems very welcoming and friendly, and I think my boss already loves me - in a proper working relationship sense, not Michael Douglas and Demi Moore in that stupid movie.  Seriously, what did anyone ever see in Demi Moore?  She got photographed pregnant on the cover of Vanity Fair, made one good movie - A Few Good Men - where she had an awesome supporting cast, and then what?  Oh, Ashton Kutcher. 

Though I can hardly say anything about the Demi and Ashton thing with the situation I find myself in Here with Mistress and Sir lol.    But the above two paragraphs show how easily distracted I am tonight hmm.  Plus the previous three paragraphs.  I am in a good place, and I am happy.

I was on the phone to my mate in England earlier today, and she could hear how bubbly I was from all that way away.  How obliteratingly happy I am.  In previous relationships, I always had at least one corner of me doubting about how things were going, but with Mistress (and Sir) I have no doubts whatsoever.  Which isn't to say I am deliberately blind to any issues, just that I can't actually see any at this time.  Surely that means I am still in the honeymoon period? 

Anyways, enough of that analysis.

I had that job interview today.  Well, really, it seemed less an interview as I have understood it before, it was kinda sorta a chat between me, the general manager of sales, and one of the directors of the company.  It is a multinational, but the set up Here is that it is a fairly autonomous unit, owned by the local directors who are the shareholders.  Not a listed company though - as I feel I sound like the Financial Times suddenly hahaha.  It's not your regular interview when the guy brings out the whiteboard and writes up the organisational structure.  It was less an interview for the role I would be taking on immediately, but seemed more like an interview for the job in the company I would be taking on in two or three years time.  Very strange, compared to the numerous interviews I have had the previous few weeks.

And I am sure the director was asking questions out of left field just to see how I reacted, and how I could relate.  And they were both the kind of people who could remember the entire conversation without taking one single note, and come back to something I had said half an hour before.  But the funny thing was, I was in no way daunted or intimidated at all.  The best line I came up with was, potential boss said 'have you got a to do list', and I said, I did before I got Here, and now I am doing my to do list.  Although I didn't say 'this is what I got up to on Saturday night' lol lol. 

It's funny, the two interviews I feel I have aced the last few weeks have been the ones in which there was absolutely no pressure on me.  No wait, I take that back - the interview I had last week that I got through to second interview today with, I thought I blew because I wasn't rah rah sales enough.  And I apparently flew through to today's thing.

We will see.  But I feel I aced this interview at least.  Which probably actually means I crashed and burned hahaha.  We will see.  It's been an okay day.  Mistress has been a little unmotivated herself, and Sir is exhausted from his work, but I am doing my best to support them both, without actually throwing myself into the trenches every five seconds.  If you know what I mean.  Like an emergency service, most of the time is spent in the station entertaining myself, but I am to hand Just In Case.
