SIGNS POINT TO YES

Well, the interview went really well, and the upshot of it all is that they would like to hire me as a Project Manager, but can't really afford to do that right at the moment because they don't have enough work for a full-time project manager. So they phoned my recruitment agency and asked if I would be willing to work as a contractor doing development for a while, until they were more in a position to give me project management work. I said yes, so they are going to work out a contract tomorrow.

Obviously, since nothing has been signed, I don't have anything for sure, but in the words of the famous Magic 8 Ball, "signs point to yes."

I really liked these guys, so I'm happy about this.

The bus that stops about a block from my house also stops literally in front of the office. Unfortunately, it has also been determined to be The Worst Bus in London--I'm dead serious about this. They just did a report on the most unreliable bus service in the city, and this bus was the #1 on the list of least reliable. Which is funny.

Anyway, it's in a very dangerous neighborhood, in the sense that there are no fewer than five shoe stores within walking distance. I am going to be hard-pressed to pay rent.

I don't know what's going to happen here, but I will keep you posted. I mean, after all, they *did* ask if I would be amenable to this, so I that's got to be a good sign, don't you think?
