Hmm.  Potential job opportunity in Kendal, which is about an hour and a half away.  Apparently it would be working from home three days a week, though, so it's probably an acceptable commute.

Will keep you posted.

UPDATE: Interview this afternoon! They clearly do not believe in hanging around.

Interview

Well that went well.  The interview was with a man named Fenner at Meantime IT.  He practically offered me the job on the spot, for a three month probation thing naturally.  I am meeting with another man, called Steve, at 8:30 tonight in Piccadilly for an informal technical interview but Fenner said he didn't think it would be a problem.  This means I will not be visiting anybody's pre Star Wars video night, but since I hadn't said I was coming yet anyway I don't think this will cause too much disruption.

The company is far, far away but I will only be required to go there 2-3 days out of the week; when in the office employees are put up in a B&B for the night, meaning the big drive will only be twice a week.  The rest of the time I will be working from home, which will be a new experience and will no doubt test my self-control.

1-2 nights away from home each week may disrupt my social life somewhat, but that's a small issue.  They have promised me a laptop.  A fancy laptop.  It will be awexome.

I am still going to the interview with RWE Nukem tomorrow because it is never wise to close off one's options.  We shall see.

Evening interview; 7-point-meme

Technical interview went well, got on with Steve and mutually agreed that programming is all much of a muchness, only the function names change.  I think the job is pretty much mine if I want it, and while I retain some reservations about working from home I am probably going to go for it.  Helpdesk jobs will no doubt still be there in 3 months time if I do not pull it off ... still, attend the interview I shall, I am a man of my word.  Largely.


Oh go on then:

1. Reply and I'll write something about you.
2. I will then tell you what song/movie reminds me of you.
3. I will say something that only makes sense to you and me.
4. I will tell you my first memory of you.
5. I will tell you what animal you remind me of.
6. I'll then tell you something that I've always wondered about you.
7. Then post this in your own journal...

EDIT: Gosh, this is hard. I don't seem to have many private jokes, and it doesn't look like I wonder anything about people often or for long. Oh well.
