Fugging Fog

I have a feeling we are going to have some trouble with Nick's stag weekend seeing as the entire island is enveloped in a thick shroud of fog. Sunny Guernsey indeed. The first person was supposed to arrive this lunch time and all flights are grounded at the moment : (

I have sorted out the balloons and the fishbowls for the wedding, I mean finally with everything done. Dad's picking up the fishbowls today in fact.

I went to Chequers in my lunch hour and bought a load of beers/crisps for the weekend but if no one comes I'll have to end up eating/drinking the lot myself. Oh well that's the good side I guess. I popped home after shopping and Nick seemed a bit overwhelmed what with people arriving and the house still a bit upside down but he's just doing all he can to get it looking OK.

Someone has approached me via Nick to see if I want a job but I'm really undecided about it. Its basically a sales/marketing job that sounds quite exciting and it £2,500 more than I'm currently on, but I don't get a company car, just mileage. But there is commission on top of the salery so it could be good, and also the long term prospects could be quite good. The problem is I really like my current job and I know it inside-out, I've been doing it for years and its basically all I know. So do I risk chucking it in for something different? With my current job I can't see it long term going anywhere much. I always saw it as a stop gap when I first started but I have changed my role a lot and made it my own and I really enjoy it. I'm out on the road dealing with people every day and there is really good job satisfaction. And also it is a bit of a doss to be honest, and its a decent salery. And I get the smart car. But when my boss finally retires which has to be fairly soon I'm not sure where we'll all stand. And there are NO benefits of any kind, its a pretty basic little company. Hmmmmm. I need to think about it some more and maybe go for the interview. Although this woman apparentely wants me I would still have to go through interview and its a panel of 2 who interview. OOh decisions decisions. As is typical it seems with my life this has happened at a really busy time when I'm trying to limber up for the wedding and finish moving in to my new house! I think I may have to toss a coin.
