Bob & Betty go British

Wanted: Project Managers

So it would appear that there is a lack of project managers to go around in the UK web world at the moment. So today I went to three different companies. One wants to offer me a job, another wants to get me in for a second interview and the third I haven't heard from yet. It's definitely a big shock to be in demand and means that suddenly I'm the one with the power to decide who I want to work for. Part of me is attracted to the big flashy shiny things of the top London agencies. The other part of me is drawn to work for smaller companies working in niche areas. It's going to be a tough decision to make. Luckily there is a long weekend between now and when the next agency calls. In addition to the three companies I've seen today, I have two interviews next Tuesday and there are another 4-6 companies that have my resume that could potentially want to see me. I can see i'm going to be very busy.

Robert had an interview yesterday which went well. He's been invited back for a 2nd interview next week. He's going to Milton Keynes on Tuesday for an interview as well. It's a bit of hike to get there, but it has to be done. We're hiring a car for the weekend so we can go and see the country side. So we'll keep the car to get to Milton Keynes on Tuesday. Just have to be back in time for my 2 interviews in the afternoon.

And so to the weather. Yesterday it was sunny almost all day! We even got hot walking around in the sun. I think they said it got to almost 20 degrees. Today it rained but was much warmer again. The forecast for the weekend is pretty good - about 30 degrees and fine they say. I guess we'll just see about that. Robert has plans to go and see the Superbikes race out at Silverstone on Sunday (another reason for hiring the car) so we just have to amuse ourselves on Saturday and Monday. I think a trip to Ikea will be in store. We have to get lots of things for our new unit. Ok, not lots of things, but useful stuff like bedding and towels and grocery items. It will be fun to play house again and to be able to hang our clothes in a closet rather than living out of our suitcases.

I must apologise for not having any photos for this post. We've been so busy treking all over the place that taking photos is the last thing on our minds. We should have some after the weekend. (Speaking of photos, one of the companies I saw today had googled my name and found my flickr photos so I'm going to have to be suitably vague on some topics in case they find the blog too!)
