When confronted by two extremely obese Labradors and the couple that own them.

Me: “So what do they get to eat?”

Wife: “Oh, they get a cup of dry food each.”

Me: “Well that’s good…”

Wife: “…twice a day.”

Husband: “And toast”

Wife: “Oh yes, but no butter.”

Husband: “And rice with gravy at dinner time. And a bone at bedtime so we can get some sleep.”

Seriously- I couldn’t make these up.

The weirdest thing happened this week, after the last of my Sympathy cards went out.

Somebody wrote back.

I received a very long, detailed letter telling me about the life of the pet I put to sleep. In great detail. It’s particularly surreal because I had never met these people before, and I hadn’t spent that much time with them and their pet. To be honest it was a fairly speedy event and although it was very sad at the time, I hadn’t put much further thought into it.

The question I’m debating in my mind now is whether or not I’m supposed to write back. It would be very …. weird to do so. I’m just not sure what to do with their thank-you letter.

I was just offered my third interview today. It’s quite a long way away from home and I am yet to confirm a time, but it’s an interview nonetheless. I’m quite anxious to attendsince another potential job said they would make a decision by Friday.

I think I know what I’m looking for, and I’ll think I’ve made up my mind, but I seem to find there’s always something missing that I would have taken forgranted. Really simple things that I assumed owuld be standard.

It’s a bit wierd knowing other people who have applied for the same job. On one hand they’re your friends and you wish them well, but not too well because you are competing for something important. You can also catch up after your interviews and discuss the job.  It’s only fair, the interviewers are probably discussing us.
