all good things

I love being off work. This is the longest holiday I've had since we got married and it has been fantastic.

One of the friends we saw yesterday was Ms Ginger Cake and of course we had to talk about work a bit. I was a bit stunned to hear that my new boss has got himself another job, but I guess that explains why I received an application pack for his job in the post. It seems my big boss wants me and Ms Ginger Cake to go for the job. I shall apply, but I have to give some serious thought to this. What if we both go for the jobs (there is another post in another team as well) and only one of us gets it? How will our friendship cope? What if she ends up as my boss? What if I end up as hers?

If I don't apply for the post I know I'll be seen as unambitious, as the last time the post was advertised both of us were asked to apply, but couldn't face it. To be honest, I don't really want this job, but it wouldn't hurt my CV and would be a good springboard. What if I'm just not good enough? Mr McMuffin thinks both of us should apply and he told Ms Ginger Cake that he's going to teach me some techniques for undermining the competition! To be fair, he then explained to Ms Ginger Cake what she could do as well. Fortunately he was joking, but it didn't get rid of the slightly sick feeling I have had since last night. I think I have just got too comfortable in my current post and have lost a bit of confidence in my ability to do anything else.

I think I'm going to buy a lottery ticket. That should solve the problem.

Anyway, on a happier note we're being entertained at the Carrot Cakes' tonight. Tomorrow we shall be entertaining Mr McMuffin junior and his beau. Then we're back at work. I want another holiday.
