The Brompton job was a bust - apparently they filled it with someone else. And the agency didn't even mention the short-term temp job they spoke to me about the other day. Must have filled that one too - they mentioned that they wanted someone for it starting either today or Monday, so it must have been today. Argh.
However, there is still hope of a sort. After I sat around and moped over this for awhile, further phone call from the same agency informed me of a job starting on 5th February at some medical society. I got the impression that I was definitely getting this one, because it's heavy on the audio typing and typing is my main secretarial skill, but I think I'll wait until I have all the details and know for definite that I should report in for that one before I start thinking overly positive. If I have got it, then all I have to do is find some short-term work to tide me over in the meantime. So again, fingers crossed.
Not much else going on, so I'll leave it there, I think. As much as Livejournal is for whingeing, there's only so far I'll go because I don't want to descend into a mire of self-pity.
[Edit: Never mind! Agent rings up and says not only is the 5th February thing a go, but there's a three-week audio typing booking at ChelWest's trauma unit going begging as well, so I start Monday! Bad for my health, good for my bank balance, and I am relieved.]
