One called ten minutes late without explanation and then proceeded to quiz me for 20 minutes about some fairly obscure features and technical trivia (and ended with "will you be relocating for this contract?" and "which route will you use to drive here?"). Not impressed.
The other asked a broad but searching set of questions, was personable and explained the project he's doing in detail. I've just heard that he'd like to meet in person next week - plus it's about 15 mins from home and 50 quid a day more than the first one. Fingers crossed...
If you get the first one, make sure to explain the route you took to that guy in laborious detail each morning. Spin it out to about ten minutes ("Then at the next roundabout there was a red Peugeot in the outside lane that didn't signal…"). He should be cured of his interest in other people's journeys by the third month or so
Lunch has been one of the amazing Bray's Cottage pork pies, this time one of the ones with a little onion marmalade mixed in, which gives it a kind of mild sweetness
The recycling bins have been done, but not the landfill ones. The different wagons were coming in convoy a few weeks ago; maybe they've had a falling out
Despite fine weather all morning, and now, some rain managed to make it here just in time for my departure. It was in luck, for the bins had been emptied so I had to bring one in, giving it more opportunity to make me soggy
And my defunct Bag for Life has been replaced. The nice lady who tends to the self-checkouts on Friday afternoons had to go in search of one as they didn't have any of the equivalent calibre there. She returned with one emblazoned in Lego-related imagery, Sainsbury's having some promotion or other on at the moment, and anxiously asked me if that was OK. So I must look like the kind of person who objects to being publicly associated with Lego; which I am not, and I assured her that would be fine.
