I'm fairly sure that was the secret code, yes. It's like I didn't have some commercial experience, in ALMOST EXACTLY THE SAME TYPE OF WORK AS THEY WERE DOING. Possibly at a slightly lower level than ordering the trucks around, but still. Anyway. They made their choice. And the new company does sound quite good, and possibly a bit more suited to my experience. So. Apparently the interview woman wished me all the best for the future. Which was nice of her.

HE WAS SUCH A STRANGE POLICEMAN. Policeman can't come into the probation office, they really just can't, or they must keep themselves hidden away or pretend to be regular probation workers. We have a few of those. They're lovely. It upsets the clients to see police wandering about, really. Happily he took himself away without causing too much trouble. That was quite good of him.
