Uncertainty

I felt so sorry for this chap, he looked so incredibly uncomfortable up there. He was so hesitant about every step, he must have been terrified.

So. From about midday onwards, I was waiting for the phone to ring - have I got the job or not?

The phone did not ring.

Not at 12.

Not at 1.

Not even at 2.

At 3 O'Clock, nothing happened.

And then at 3:30 an E-Mail pinged into my inbox.

It was from them.

And the first word I could see in the body of text was "leider". "Leider" is the German for "sadly" and no good news ever starts with that word.

However. It wasn't as bad as you think or as I thought. They haven't been able to make a decision and it'll be next Monday before they decide.

And I have to go and meet the woman from Personnel as she wants to clear up some things like "Can I start on the 1st December?"

But I'm not getting my hopes up. At the moment I'd be quite happy to untie the huge knot in my stomach. That's been killing me all day.
