I've been contracting in a job since early January. They'd advertised it externally and I put in an application. The boss called me today to say he wasn't going to interview me for the job.









He was going to offer it to me :D

Saw the GM later and he asked me if I liked the interview. When I said it was fairly brief, he said I'd been being interviewed for the last 2 months :wink:

5 months ? You get a kiss every 5 months ??

Or is that how long it took for you to recover from her kneeing you in the groin ?

It's a game. Enjoy it. :D

lol.

I get kisses every day :D

As for the 5 months thing, I know it might seem weird to make a thing out of relatively minor 'anniversaries' (well, what else do you call them?? haha) but we had a really nice dinner at hog's breath, then went home and watched cartoons before bed. We actually went out for dinner to celebrate 100 days as well... any excuse :P
