Towards a more sportly lifestyle Disappointing but unsurprising house news Doom and gloom Executive appointment
Tuesday, June 22, 2004
Big little brother Smoothie has employed his occasional non-child-wrangling spare time to organise us into a Thursday night multisports competition. Multisports is basically a round robin tournament of indoor team sports - netball, soccer and volleyball. It looks a bit like we may now have something approaching the requisite number of players (and with some effort may actually get to the point where we have enough reserves that we won't be completely dead by half-time). Should be fun, especially as I am pretty dire at soccer and have never, to my uncertain knowledge, even touched a netball (but I fancy I still recall at least the fundamentals of volleyball).
We must have jinxed it by getting our hopes up or something. The woman who half-made an offer on the house on Saturday decided to recant after two days' consideration. The deciding factor was apparently that the house isn't north-facing, which is true enough, but I daresay was not the sole point over which she was wavering. Oh well, back to the Saturday morning cleaning routine.
Three word summary of the atmosphere at work. With this heaped on top of the stress of not selling the house, my daytime morale could be better.
Fiona finally got her job confirmed as a permanent position (Executive Level 1) yesterday, which at least secures her income and makes it possible to breathe a little more easily. She's quite relieved - even though the panel was somewhat well informed as to her ability to do the job, she didn't really feel she performed well at the interview. But it's all okay now, because she is officially Powerful and Influential.
