Just when none of us could quite believe the self-pity and despair I was falling into... I got a call at 3.20 this afternoon, inviting me for an interview on Monday. It must be said that the admin style of this organisation is what I can only call - well, crap really. However, I am desperate, and maybe this doesn't reflect all aspects of their work?? Once badly bitten, I will pledge never to name the organisation nor its whereabouts...
I am of course desperate and if they offer me the job I will take it no matter how chaotic or unprofessional the set-up. Sorry not to sound more enthusiastic, but I've been through the mill again emotionally the last 24 hours or so, and feel pretty pissed off with being given four days notice for an interview. Imagine if I'd had a job or private clients... Still, I think, broadly speaking, I am pleased. At least to be able to reinstate my belief in my own good judgement about the quality of my application, and of the experience I have to offer. And yes, here is an opportunity, albeit a modest one.

Congratulations Fire! I shall be sending positive thoughts your way come Monday and hope that all works out for the best. You ARE great!
Well done from me too and Scottish fingers crossed. You are indeed great!
I think under-resourcing can render even the best of organisations to liable to do things at the last minute, so try not to prejudge them too harshly, perhaps. On the other hand, under-resourcing isn't an attractive prospect either - but what organisation doing an important and non profit-making job is not under-resourced?
Best wishes for your interview. Keep trusting your heart and instincts - perhaps one of the worse effect of hard times is how they start to undermine this trust?
Good luck
Many thanks to you all. I'll let you know how I get on...
Oh I'm glad you got a bit of a lift there. Maybe going into it without too many illusions or rosy specs isn't so bad, more chance of being pleasantly surprised and less of feeling let down...
I enjoyed the LHOTP recollections. I'd probably be more likely to cry at it than I was then. I was rather surprised when the woman who used to be Laura showed up on Babylon 5 years later as a sinister creepy adult who had been abducted by the shadow aliens and made to serve their nefarious purposes, but perhaps I shouldn't have been.
