It’s all go this week. Not content with the trio of jobs on offer last week those lovable recruitment consultants have now parachuted me into an interview tomorrow for a nice long contract and have also shoved my details forward for a permament agency based Senior Devloper role.

If this carries on I might actually have to choose between jobs. Blimey.

Guildford on Tuesday was okay. The interview went better than I was expecting and the job is something I could do. I’m just not sure it’s something I could do brilliantly and, being a bit of a perfectionist, that could be a problem. There would also be the commuting problem, finding somewhere suitable for both Guildford and Millbank for pink weasel, and of course affordable, would be a challenge.

Pub lunch with gleet was nice and would be something that could be done more often if I worked in Guildford.

The Post, the free local paper that gets shoved through my letter box every week, contains an article about a rail users group who want the local train services to run with tube-like frequency. They seem to have overlooked the fact that most tube lines have very few branches and junctions whilst many different rail lines join together and use the same tracks in South London. The train operators showed admirable restraint when they said “it is difficult to say whether their demands are reasonable or unreasonable until we sit down and look at the timetable.”

Elsewhere in the article there was a survey of “almost 200 commuters” which found that:

• ninety-five per cent of them used the service four or five days a week

They’re commuters, of course they use the service four or five days a week!

• sixty-four per cent were dissatisfied with the service
• 98 per cent thought it was unreliable

In the spirit of Josh from The West Wing, taken literally that means that 34% think that the service is unreliable but are still satisfied with it.
