I can imagine the wait is killing you! Did they give you any idea when they'll make a decision?

Watching somebody slowly drink themselves to death is horrible. I've seen it. - Let's hope for a miracle and that you're neighbour somehow gets off the booze.

*crosses fingers* I hope you will get the job. Am thinking positive thoughts for you. *grins*

Thank you! :) :)

I know the waiting is killing you, hon!
Why don't you try to write some porny S/F too distract your self? *winks*

I'm sorry for your neighbour but I'm sorrier (more sorry?) for his wife.*hugs*

*looks for elusive plot bunny* Mmmm, F/S.... Love your icon, BTW!

I am sorry for his wife, too. She has put up with so much over the past two years.
