smallhobbitI've still been looking round for a second job. Just before we went on holiday I went for an interview for an interesting job, about five minutes drive from home. The interview went well, the interviewer more or less said they'd be inviting me back for a second interview and then when we were away I got a rejection. I was disappointed, but at the same time not sure I would have wanted to work somewhere I couldn't trust what the boss said.
I made good use of my extra free time, sorting so much stuff out and then getting back on track after we'd been away. In addition I had some holiday pay from my old job, which meant I wasn't desperate for cash immediately. But at the beginning of this month I was starting to feel I should be using my extra time usefully and have suitable goals for each day (admittedly last week this included making significant progress on the second chapter of my Lucas/Adam fic -![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
vix_spes I plan to have the chapter over to you by the end of this month!)
Last Friday I had another interview for a job about 15 to 20 minutes drive away. It went okay, although I suspected they would offer it to someone else. And they promised they'd be in touch yesterday, and I still haven't heard.
Meanwhile last week the boss at my job said they wanted me to work three days instead of two - spreading the hours out. I said if I were to do that they needed to offer me a further four hours, because I couldn't look for a second job with only two days available. The boss said he'd think about it. Again nothing happened. On Monday the second director asked me what had been agreed and when I said nothing he said he'd sort it out. The hours at some point will reduce, but for the moment I am now working three days, but shorter days Tuesday and Wednesday (leaving me time to do things at home before SM gets back). And it doesn't feel wrong if I stay in my pjs until lunch time the other days.
