How to turn down a job.

Do NOT give a reason such as "the other guys gave me more of a warm glow". Mr W pointed out a better solution might be to make something up that is bland and inoffensive. Just so you know, like, it's better to think up a reason before the nice person in the company you don't want to work for asks you, because (s)he will. Obviously this came as a complete shock to me, so I thought I'd pass it on. And now I've bored the pants off two people in one night about it (and also was fed, given as much alcohol as I could drink, had my towels washed and was put in a cab home complete with the fare) you can assume I don't want to talk about my new job anymore. Getting a leeetle bit apprehensive about the work.

In other news.

It has been brought to my attention that other people out there blogging in relative anonymity name their partners Mr(s) [insert blogger ID]. The Daily Ablution chap does it (I've been told) and we all hail him. I didn't really consider that as a way of identifying He Who Spends Money On Machines. I call my other half not Mr Chaya, but Mr W. This is an abbreviation from Mr Wonderful, which I understand had some readers barfing over their keyboards. So imagine my surprise when I noticed a certain lady blogging from Oz calling her other-half/ not-quite-half/ intended-but-not-to-be Mr W too! Excellent! Either he's called William, Wobert, Wilfred or Winston, or she has had the same idea as me. Soon all the male other-halves in the blogosphere will be referred to as Mr W!

I'm very chuffed because I read my site meter thing today and I had four hits last week. Or at least I think it says that. That or five hits. And maybe per day? Probably per week. I'm not too clear on the words part but just admire the numbers.
