Every Cloud Has a Silver Lining

Well, perhaps, but every time I’ve flown on a plane and we’ve gone through the clouds there’s always been a distinct lack of silver in there. Perhaps there’s a special type that the weather people keep to themselves.

Anyhow, although I’d already suspected as such, I got a call from the job agency today to break the bad news that I hadn’t got that job. At three and a half hours, it was certainly the longest interview I’ve ever attended and my hopes were pretty high on that one. Naturally, I was a bit disappointed, but I’d already prepared myself for the worst and applied for another one. We’ll have to see how that application goes along now.

As for that silver lining, thanks to alwaysd my new and improved profile appears to have struck an accord with at least someone. Admittedly her message was short, sweet and to the point at a mere two sentences. Her profile was certainly interesting and she appears to have a similar sense of humour to me so, although she lives in Scotland (and an American lass too), I thought I’d reply. We’ll have to see whether my writing style crosses the American/ Scottish sense of humour barrier.

Also, I’ve had a reply from the off/on person. She’d been busy studying for an exam and not been checking her messages. No mention on phone call though, but I did have a missed call on my phone with no return number the other day. Her message seemed to be a little more relaxed than before too. Perhaps she’s finally realised that I’m not an axe wielding manic and actually a rather nice guy. Never the less, given the gaps in-between messages, I’m still unsure of what to make of things there.

Finally, here’s my weeks profile details:

Profile views: 12
Messages sent: 1
Messages received: 1

That profile view count is still slipping, but to save myself from complete and utter embarrassment I decided to hold off publishing my profile views for a few days. Why? Well let’s just say that a single digit view count would have been rather flattering.
