If 'attractive' if is a rotund man who lounges about in urine stained Y fronts, then you win Ringo.

For those who might be interested some news. I was due to give ING an answer today by lunchtime - I contacted the other bank and told them of the offer but how I would much rather work there, so they saw me yesterday - the IT Head had a lot of doubts about my commitment and so forth, and also working for an organisation with certain "religious considerations" but I put them all to rest. Then met with the HR guy who had done a lot to push things along. Turns out the position was a bit junior for me and I was overqualified, but it seems they could do a bit of re-shuffling to get me in at a certain level. It was looking good.
This morning I was having a rather odd but vivid dream involving me and a purchased bride (????) when the phone goes and its the agency about the ING job and started bullying me into not waiting on the result from the other position. I instructed him to ask the others to wait, he said they wouldn't and then I told him well that was their choice - and subsequently blew them out. Possibly a very stupid thing to do.
However, I just got a call from the other place and it seems all three people who I met are all firmly on my side, and are now going to the board to get the formal approval for my offer - it should be just a formality as they had offered someone before but they accepted a job elsewhere without even reporting this back - so even if he comes crawling back now because of my undying show of commitment, they should be able to make a favourable decision in my direction.
Almost there - Monday or Tuesday I should get the final nod - wish me luck!

Yep it's an Indonesian Bank so there are a lot of Muslims, some of whom might have to go pray mid conversation - you just have to let them go do it without question.

I'm not religious, but I could be convinced to adopt a religion that would allow me arbitrarily to walk away from boring meetings at will. This sounds, as some might say, gr9.
