Between visitors - 2

Two things worthy of note happened yesterday. The first was a job interview for a project worker post in one of the Salvation Army's hostels, which went reasonably well - though I have to say, selling myself in such environments really isn't my strong point - I'm much better putting it all in writing. I have my doubts whether I'll have got the job - I should hear later today. Really, it will get down to what they're looking for - which being who they are, I strongly suspect they won't really know until they've heard all that's on offer from all the applicants - they can be quite an opportunistic organisation that way! I don't say that's a bad thing in itself, but it does make moving within it rather challenging, to say the least!

The other thing was the departure of my second visitor, whom I have to admit to being quite glad to see the back of! Though never perfect, he's always managed to redeem himself before by taking at least some interest in me; alas at the present time anyway, he only seems interested in himself - his new interests, etc. Almost every conversation we had ended up going there - and I was bored silly, to be perfectly honest!

The final straw has to be the texting. Picture the scene - there we are, the two of us, sitting in a pub at the end of a reasonable day out - and having got a text message, he decides to reply. Fair enough - I'd probably have done the same. But then it got a response - and he replied again, then another, and he replied again - and so it went on for the best part of an hour; with me sat there like a right gooseberry...
