Clowns to the left, jokers to the right....

Looks like I spoke too soon. I got an email today from the school that made the conditional offer. They've withdrawn it as they don't have the business contracts they need - see, the credit crunch is affecting everything. So I've taken a deep breath, swallowed my dignity and re-applied to those companies who ignored my first contact. I've tried to be more direct (ie contact the school directly) this time and be more explicit in my cover letter.

Cross your fingers and wish me luck!
