And The News Just Gets Better

Eric has been offered a job as a barrister/solicitor with a local Matamata firm McGill, Earl and Co. It is a small firm with a good reputation and seems to be dynamic and friendly. Sounds like they will be supportive initially but keen for Eric to stand on his own 2 feet as soon as he can. All that Eric wants really. I cannot express how thrilled and relieved we all are. It has been an incredibly long slog and this last few days have been soooo stressful, vasilating between being convinced he must have got the job to feeling as sure that he hadn't. I was worried that if he had not managed to convince a firm after 2 'chats' that he was what they wanted, when he obviously was, then how was he going to get a job elsewhere. He has had so many knock backs in this process that it was hard to believe that this could go right. Anyway I'm rambling. All I can say is that I am incredibly proud of Eric for sticking at this when at times it has been so hard for him to get motivated, and there has been so many other things going on in our lives. Well done Pooh. Semi-retirement - here I come!!!!!
