Waiting

Today, I'm waiting.

For two things.

For my new passport to arrive through a secure mail service where I had to confirm a day when I would be home so that they could hand it to me when I provide identification (funnily enough, they list passport as an acceptable form of this), and for the chair of the panel who interviewed me yesterday for a short term teaching post to call me with the good / bad news.

The first will happen some time 'between 9 and 5' today. The second, either 'late morning' or 'early afternoon'. No doubt they will both happen at exactly the same time.

In the meantime, I am filling in another job application for another short term contract that needs to be sent off today (the PhDLitChick has applied for the same job), and I'm writing a reference for a student I taught at my previous post because he wants to take an MA course next year.

So, off I go. To keep waiting...

Good luck with all of those things!

I, too, was waiting in but I was waiting for a delivery of a TV. The Boy has ordered a 40ins flat screen monstrosity...sorry, TV, but was away yesterday and so I said I'd wait for it. And here it is....it is vast!

Can I just add - I *hate* these 'any time between 9am and 6pm' deliveries? What sort of service is that?!

I know! At least some services say between 9 and 1, or between 1 and 6.

I really need to go shopping - I have no food - but I can't go out until one or both of those things happen...
