    I never get my hopes up for a contract until I have signed it
    and finished my first day at the contract.

      Nor do I as a rule, but when, at the end of an interview, you get told you'll be starting on Wednesday, it is hard not to be optimistic!

          You'll be pleased to know I'm all washed, dressed and dusty (I've been up in the loft) now.

          ... She's in!

          "No News is Good News" says agency pokeperson.
          "Heard nothing", "Definitely not been waiting for someone else to decide" (why did she tell me that, unprompted?), "It must be their admin people holding it up", "Keep waiting".

                  The agent is now on holiday. I have been given the name of a colleague and told "If there's any news, we'll let you know". Which sounds suspiciously like "Don't call us, we'll call you".

                    Hmmm, not looking too rosey, which does seem a bit odd after what the interviewer told you after the interview

                      Indeed. I was confident I was going to have to be in work from 9 a.m. today. Oh well. Today is their Big Meetings day, so maybe I'll hear something by the end of the week.

                      Meanwhile, I've decided I need to get back to searching for a gig properly. It is really hard to do when you feel you have an offer, but needs must and opportunities are passing me by.

                      I have wasted this morning drivelling on here, so I've got dressed and I'm ready to start my day. Up 'n' at 'em!
