That's so great, tokes. I love hearing about people allowing themselves to be vulnerable and by doing so making meaningful connections :-)
I haven't heard about the job yet, although my two referees informed me that the woman who interviewed me said to them that she was concerned I might be 'too nice' for the job and therefore unable to give difficult feedback. Mr TS said I should have made him a referee - ha ha :-D
Oh well, we'll see what happens. I must admit to feeling a teensy bit glum. I need to be busier, but if that isn't the job for me, so be it.
