Early days, but....

....there may be a chink of light at the end of the proverbial tunnel. Our internal vacancy list currently hosts a job I've been after since we first moved to Cornwall in 2000, and which I was effectively cheated out of, by a now departed manager, the last time it was advertised, and about which I was blatantly lied to by my former manager, when it wasn't advertised when I was told it would be during the time I last worked in Cornwall, so when my application goes in this time, as it will in the next few days, they're going to have to have a damn good reason not to give me the job, given that there's no possibility of anyone else with anywhere close to my background and experience applying - that's not me being self-aggrandising, that's just a fact - frankly, if they do try to give it to someone else, I'll take it through the grievance procedure, if necessary. And, of course, if I do get the job, I can go back to the part of the country I now think of as 'home', and be close to my daughter, as well, maybe even have her living with me formally. The fact that I could rent a smart two bedroom flat, with a sea view, no less, for less than the price of a grotty bedsit in my current 'work-town', after a brief perusal of property websites, isn't exactly an inhibiting factor, either. Given my, to say the least, chequered history in connection with this job, I'm not making any assumptions until I walk through the door of the place for my first day, but I'm absolutely determined to do anything in my power to make sure I do walk through that door.

Love & best wishes to all
