Deja Vu all over again

This morning, stroppy_baggage dropped me off at my new job at 10:15. Early, but that's good.

Except that the receptionist, when I asked for my manager, said "Oh, are you Jillian? Is today your first day? You need to call your recruiter."

Yes, my new manager is still unwell (poor girl). My recruiter's phone call just missed me when I left the house apparently. Thank goodness stroppy_baggage's cell phone was on, otherwise I'd still be stuck in Redmond.

So I theoretically start work tomorrow. My recruiter will call or email me this afternoon to confirm that.

Now all I need is a severed mummy hand to be waving a pair of tongs at me ...
