Thanks to everyone who replied to my last entry. I turned the job down, and felt nothing but relief. Applied to M&S instead for seasonal work to tide me over in the meantime, because honestly - I'd much rather that than spend every night wandering unfamiliar streets in unfamiliar towns knocking on strangers' doors. *shudders*
Just have to hope something else comes along sooner rather than later. It's not like I don't have enough applications pending.
While I'm on, I'd like to quickly express birthday wishes for
andreathelion - hope you're having a great day.
I did watch the new SN this morning - it was a much needed distraction! Not really in any fit state to make much comment today, but will just quickly say that it was great to see Sam just sitting back and enjoying watching Dean being Dean. They both seemed like a huge weight had lifted off their shoulders since last week - Sam no longer having to hide anything, and Dean no longer having to worry about what Sam is up to and what it might lead to. They seemed like their old selves...on the surface, as long as they studiously avoid all mention of more thorny subjects.
Also? Sam ate! Twice! He put food in his mouth, chewed and swallowed.
And I was a little intrigued to hear Dean run through the list of old scars he used to have, that disappeared when he was resurrected.
Yeah, and the funny, too. *G*
And now I am off to my parents' new house to continue stripping wallpaper, which should be good and therapeutic.

Having now read through it, it absolutely sounds like you did the right thing. I have no doubts that you could do the job but it doesn't sound like you (even though I suppose I don't know you that well and meeting you twice does not make me an expert!) - and I think in the current climate, it's probably hard to make people sign up - I'm already thinking about my own charity donations and whether I can realistically afford to keep them all going.
Anyway, I'm glad it's a weight of your shoulders, which shows it was wrong for you. Good luck with the M&S seasonal job application. *Hugs* :)

Apparently, charity donations are actually up at the moment - during these hard times, people are feeling more sympathetic. But what really put me off was the way all these salespeople were gloating over the fact. "Everyone else is struggling, but we're minted, hahaha, aren't we great." Meh. I really would have hated it.
