Since my last update the main features in life have been:
1:- An interview with Carphone Warehouse Networks (I think the same thing or very closely tied to Opal Networks). The office is based in Irlam which isn't perfect - it about doubles my commute in the "wrong" direction, but I traveled home in rush hour after the interview and it was fine. I should find out on Monday or Tuesday whether they want me back for a second interview
2:- I've been talking with one of the sales folks at work and we talked about how to succeed within the company and we agreed that the only way to proceed anywhere is to push yourself into positions. In this discussion we talked about future work and they mentioned that they wanted to get me to spend some time on a new project. Could be interesting.
3:- We've been going back to Oswestry for the musical thing - rehearsals started on Monday. So far we've done the fish slapping song from Spamalot, Buenos Aires from Evita and a Beatles medley. At last night's rehearsal I was pulled aside by the director and asked if I would mind wearing drag(!?). They just wanted to make sure before setting anything in stone. As I'm certain this will mean doing some songs in the key of Edna Turnblad from Hairspray, this is great news!
4:- Christmas shopping has been proceeding fine, with some major presents being bought back in October, and a collection of smaller ones hanging around the house for various people now.
