Things can change in 2 weeks, no?
Two weeks ago, I was going to accept a new job offer. True story this one. The offer was on the table and I was to go in for a meeting to discuss terms. The meeting was in St Kilda, other side of town from me, and I had to drive 45 mins more than my usual 10 min commute to get there. It pissed me off no end.
In the end, I decided that this factor alone was a significant differentiator, and i rejected the job, staying close to home for less money but with a comfortable lifestyle that - a couple of weeks back - allowed me to go home and work when the cricket got interesting.
Point? Well most of you probably don't care about my job situation, but the point I'm trying to make is that things can change fairly dramatically in 2 weeks, as parties nut things out. I'm getting tired, but in this case, no yawn is forthcoming.
Thanks for the news Synbad.
Things can change so how can anyone have known then what was going to happen?
Synbad, as a rule picks his words pretty carefully, especially when starting a thread (maybe not so much later on

).
Whenever something is said like 'most probably' for Synbad that is a huge qualification IMO, so when I read it initially I was actually not that worried because it sounded like a little wriggle in the negotiations. If Synbad had said definately, no doubt, etc. then I would get worried.
It is a pretty easy book to read because the language is very direct and easy to understand.
Synbad, consider your arse smokeblown.
