    Actually, I'm aiming to be at the Counting House for 5:30 which means leaving by 5:00 so they've got an hour and a half to remember they're supposed to be interviewing me.

      What could possibly go wrong
      Not the worst idea ever

          Over an hour later now

          I don't think they're going to call.

          I've been using this time to apply for other gigs, in an attempt to bring Sod's Law into action.

          I realise that by attempting to use Sod's Law I'm ensuring that it won't apply


          I wish I was in the pub already

            Oh good, EndClientCo's owner corporation has its own group-wide analytics tracking stuff, which nobody had remembered would need to be in there.

            I am now going through the templates retro-fitting awful SiteCatalyst code, approximately four hours after the site went live

                I will, tomorrow. I don't have time to speak to them now anyway, I'm eating a sandwich to fill in until I order food in the pub

                  Finally got round to doing last month's expenses. Got to update my CV now - an agent who's landed me a couple of decent gigs in the past got in touch with a two-monther at a company just a couple of miles from home, starting immediately, which could be handy if (as I expect) CurrentClientCo don't need me any more now the site's live.

                  I was hoping for a bit of a break, but if the work's there a short distance away, it seems foolish not to take it

                  Having said that, they may look at my CV and dump it straight in the shredder
