Well, for all my feeling of doom last night -

I got the job!!

I am so so pleased; the course looks so interesting to teach, and will involve learning new things too e.g. corpus linguistics, even more functional grammar...and I won't have to mark 40 essays all on the same topic or at the same time - it's fantastic!

My interviewers must have made their decision pretty damn quickly, because the interview finished just after noon yesterday, and they informed me I'd got the job by a letter which arrived this morning! I feel sympathy for the other candidates, but am still so happy!

Excellent! Is this full-time, or will you need another admin job to fill in?

It's not full time, no, but together with my existing appointment to teach another course, I should make enough to live on! I really don't want to go back to the admin. I'll have finished my probation next year too, so I'll be on the higher point in the salary band, which should improve matters somewhat!

Double congrats in that case! Oh, and we're stocking up on grammatical questions to ply you with, such as the conjugation of 'would' and 'should' : P
