Before I say goodnight

Hi hi

At nearly 9.30, it is probably past my bedtime as I hope to leave for the airport around, what, 6.30am? Or even earlier...

When I travel I always need about an hour or more to get ready, fit in a light breakfast, and run around throwing in last minute bits n bobs. Why can you never think of those things earlier, even if you make a list???

**********

When I left the art dealer's office this evening, I had that feeling - you all know it - a sudden sensation of freedom, of a weight lifted from the shoulders, free-as-a-bird. Something you only feel at the end of final exams in high school and university. Yes, you do know what I mean!

I think he hopes to see me there again in future. I didn't say NO, but didn't say YES either. Truthfully, I wouldn't mind taking on the database as a project part time, but I don't want to sit in that little office from morning till night as a PA. I need people around me. Speaking of which, I hear the boring co is interviewing 3 other candidates for the temp to perm role. Disappointing, as they had offered me the perm role outright and I didn't turn them down outright...and they knew last week that I was still interested...hm.

Seems a door closed that I thought had opened.

Also seems I am a bit middling in my responses lately, doesn't it?

OK, well I don't know when I will next be able to blog. Possibly not too long, actually, as my cousins wake up late and so I may have some extra hours mid-morning for emails and blogs and *ahem* Facebook


Still, I will miss you all. It's not the same when you're not in your own living room, on your own laptop, or your own time...But I will be sure to take pics of my godddaughter and fall colours in Ontario if there are any, and also loads of Manhattan!

Ciao ciao!

Jahooni - I'm not that gone :) I can go online every day!

Close enough, when one door closes another one opens.
