Gainful Employment

He has been offered a permanent post. After almost 6 months of temping, this is an excellent new development. Hurrah for Him!

Of course, this means that we are now both employed by the same university (I work for a university, did I mention that?), but as He'll be buried in the Faculty of Science and your heroine will still be perched in the highest room in the tallest tower aka the International Student Office, there should be no reason for us to mix. On the plus side, we have identical holiday allowance (generous) and working hours (ditto).

So the treadmill might get a bit more manageable now. Though I do have the unpleasant task tonight of going through our 'books' and working out how to improve our dodgy financial situation. I'm thinking another round of rate-tarting might be in order....
