I am sitting at my desk, logged onto the Cellar, drinking fizzy water and a cup of de-caff tea. That makes me amazingly happy.
Having been here three days I am already trusted enough to be given the keys so I can come in early to let the cleaner in. And yesterday my Manager (a super-cool potty-mouthed Aussie) hinted that they might interview me for this position after all... Which is highly irregular, but would be wonderful.
I don't know if I told you why I am here, rather than sitting at home watching daytime TV and getting less than half of what I am earning... I went to a Pub Quiz a couple of weeks ago, and HM was in a lazy mood and let me go alone. I asked the Landlord whether he knew any teams that would accept an outsider and he directed me to Catherine and Anya. Who work here. And told me that they were looking for a receptionist and administrator but that I'd just missed the deadline for applying. I dropped my CV off the next day anyway and on Friday (just gone) I got a call asking me to come in to cover while they were recruiting.
The building is right at the end of my road, although the entrance is in the next street (booooo, an extra 40 seconds of walking) and is a super cool building - I'll take a photo as soon as I buy my laptop (!!!)
This is their website, they are a really interesting bunch of people.
I have brought in a bunch of daffodils for my desk, and a box of Maltesers, in a shamelessly transparent attempt to bribe my way into their hearts. Fingers crossed! At the very least I have a couple of weeks work and it's wonderful to be starting so close to home and with such a chilled out team.
