One phone tech. interview later, and I'm off for an interview in Derby on Wednesday.
If I get it, it's an hour+ commute - but it's paydirt so I don't think I can complain too much - even if I'm going forward [1] for a smilar role nearer home.
Also off for a bit of a network this lunchtime with the owner of an IT firm who seemed intrested in my Perl skills.
And the AA coughed up too, which is nice.
[1] This appears to be agency talk for forgeting to ring me back ever.
