h2g2 The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy: Earth Edition

I am waiting for the people who interviewed me for a job last week to call me back. I called them this afternoon because it's been eleven days now.


I feel sick.

good luck

Thank you.



I'm to nervous to do the washing-up, I keep dropping things, so I can't even make myself a cup of tea. Mind you, I'd hate to see me let loose on a boiling kettle just now, so all's for the best.

I find that things always happen when I'm washing dishes. If I'm waiting for something, it'll happen in the middle of dishes.

Good Luck, BTW

I'll light a candle for you!

I know how you feel, one of the things in life I find the most intolerable is waiting...and the purgatory that is "not knowing"... !

Good luck
Hope you get that good news flying feeling soon!

Dear All,

Thank you for being so sweet.

But...

THEY STILL HAVEN'T CALLED ME BACK! ARGH!

Sorry about the screaming. I'm feeling just a wee bit tense. And I've bitten my fingernails right off, look. On second thoughts, don't look. It's unattractive.

Best of luck! Try reading a book - that always distracts me if I'm nervous

Good idea. Stuff them anyway, I'm going to the library.

Hi Agapanthus,

Good luck on the job hunt. I know it can be nerve racking, I was unemployed for 9 days shy of a year and sent out hundreds of applications/resumes. (I'm working now) I'll keep you in my prayers. (any particular God, Goddess, or Gods you wish me to pray to on you behalf?)

Again Good luck,

Mostly Harmless

I was also unemployed for over a year and know how frustrating it can be.

Have you tried ringing them to see what's happening?

Good luck.

Hi Agapanthus,

What ever happen?? Did you get the job? Find another job?? Fall off the earth???

Hi Mostly, how sweet of you to ask after me. I didn't get that job, but I did get a different job (started on Wednesday), so all's well that ends well. I am now either an Information Assistant or an Enquiries Assistant, depending on who you ask, in a large academic library.

Haven't fallen off the earth, am still hanging on grimly - have fritzed my back (as my Grandpa used to say when his sciatica was playing up) and am feeling a wee bit grumpy. Balanced against the happy employed again feeling, i should say I'm on an even keel now.

Hope all is well with you.

Yes, being employed is a good thing and better than that is a steady paycheck. And has coincident would have it my office is in a library. I’m with the IT department at a local college (well it’s local to me).

Glad to hear your working,

Mostly
