WaitingMan is... Waiting...

Two possible jobs. One infinitely preferable to the other. Either preferable to the current financial intestate. One of which I am waiting for a call to tell me if I have it... or not. The other ~ I'm told I'm a certainty for the role, I just have to speak to one of two people, neither of whom have been available for the last three days.

I've also been asked to accompany my father on a trip to Cullen Bullen then on to Armidale for a double birthday celebration ~ my father & his twin brother's, leaving on Friday (the day after tomorrow) & returning Tuesday/Wednesday next week. Trouble is... if either of these jobs come through, I've been led to believe I'd be starting on Monday next week, so I couldn't go a-roving-oh. But, of course, if neither of them do... I could. I can't give a definite answer to my family 'til I hear from any of those people mentioned above, which is, in turn, frustrating for my family.

In addition, I've just found out we'll be hosting a visitor from out-of-town this weekend & Julia is, understandably, a little concerned that I may be away... which will only happen if neither job is landed, in which case a long weekend away with my Dad drowning my sorrows all over country NSW would be suitable grief therapy... except for my duties as host at home.

Stress. What to do??
