One step forward, two steps back, and a sideways shuffle.

The good: I had a job interview last week, and it went reasonably well, and I know I'm on a shortlist of three and I should find out this week and I really want this job

Yay on potential new job! (I think? Depends on what prompted the search for it in the first place, I s'pose...) Boo on health concerns! But yeah, as you point out, at least you're in a good place to tackle it, if needed. Like, without having to start a meth lab or whatever the prerequisite to American healthcare is nowadays. I haven't kept up.

And about the rest, yeah, at least I take a small bit of comfort from standing here at your side, while we both stare and blink at a world gone mad.

My job situation went south about two and a bit years ago; I'm still working in the same place, but there was a management shuffle and a lot of empire building by new managers, and I got shuffled into the realm of managers who have progressively stripped my job of dignity, interest, perks and any pretense of control over my life

And thank you, and it's so good you're still here providing comfort, even with all the crazy in your own life right now, too.

Cancer? Pardon me while I lose it for just an instant. How did the tests turn out? I've a friend in Edinburgh who was diagnosed a few years ago. The NHS did very well by her, and I hope they do just as well, if not better, with you.

My congresscritters are onboard on the health issues. I'm horrified by the number of people who are behind the Teabaggers. Many of these are poor folks, uninsured people, and they cheer these supposed patriots who aren't really championing anyone save themselves in preparation for their next campaign.

I've got an Irish passport, and if my guy were onboard with the idea of immigration, I'd be outtahere. A Scottish MP jokingly told my guy that we could move to Scotland and get residency if only to vote yes on independence. Unfortunately, the WBH wasn't interested.

We might be over for Celtic Connections in January. Maybe that'll change his mind.

I don't know how the tests have turned out, yet. All I know is that it is one possible cause for the current crop of Things My Body Oughtn't Be Doing And Which Are Not Even Fun. I have a doctor's appointment to discuss things -- and probably to get more tests -- on Thursday. Until then I wait and try not to obsess.

It's kind of a shame your guy isn't into immigration. By all means, get him over here. We have lousy weather, but good beer!

My best wishes in all directions. And I'll second you on "bad weather but good beer". I have a realistic hope of spending some time over your way next August, so Gods Willing, perhaps we'll be able to enjoy some together.
