I have a contingency anyway
If I don't get it, I still have a job, albeit less well paid. If my other colleague that was interviewed on the day gets it, whilst I wouldn't begrudge her it, I'd push for an immediate increase in salary on the basis that (a) I have vastly more experience in that particular line of work than she does and (b) it's about time I became a mercenary bastard about these things anyway.

However, if madam can't-be-arsed-to-turn-up gets it, I will be mighty peeved and will probably make a total pest of myself with HR to know the full facts.
