Seriously, I hear that simple phrase, and every carefully put together thought in my brain heads for the mass exodus at the ears. But it came up today in my interview and I managed to blunder along after a prompt or two.
The end result was a tour of the print shop and being told to call back around 10.30 if I wanted the job! Now, normally I would say that this is the job offer, end of story etc, well done (and now I can go dye my hair). But what confused me greatly was the lady saying that then I would need to schedule a time for an interview with the Big Boss in W___. This confuses me. Have I or have I not got the job if I call tomorrow morning at 10.30 on the nose and say "Yes, I would really like to take this job." Is my job contingent on yet another interview?
Oh- and I forgot to mention- at the truly ungodly hour of 8.30 I got a call from one of the people who works at the gas station- calling to see if I a. Still wanted the job b. was old enough to hold said job (Yes I'm *&(% old enough darn it!) and c. had any experience. He seemed pleased with my answers. I still dunno what to think of that job, but hey, income is income.
I'm not going to count my chickens before they're hatched. I'm going to wait until I've filled out the employment forms for the print shop _before_ I start looking for housing in town. Because at the end of the month, I will need to be somewhere other than here. Things are looking up, but I refuse to get overly optimistic about it, if at all possible...
And now for something completely different:
Ambassador to Hungary
As if further proof were needed- as if my mother could ever forget (and yes, she could) that I attempted to do my 10th grade research paper project on the 1956 Revolution in Hungary, I have further proof of my interest in said country from the tender age of 19. On BOL, Draper started a Foreign Office, with the intent of all its contributors being 'ambassadors' to the respective countries they selected. These ambassadors would write original reports on said countries and post updates and interesting news from them when appropriate. Four years ago (appropriately enough on the feast day of the Protomartyr Steven (26 Dec.) who is the patron saint of the patron saint of Hungary named Steven), I wrote:
Katholish, could I please be ambassador to Hungary?For those of you who require further demonstration of this proof, please visit:

You might have to be a site member to see it... I dunno. But anyway. I did write that, and it has a date and everything, so this is further proof that my interest in going to Hungary is, at the very least, long-standing.
And in other news, Gaiaonline has started to rot my brain insidiously. Hopefully as soon as I'm gainfully employed I will spend less time on it...

I shall say an extra prayer for you! Hopefully all goes well. :)
Argh. Don't even talk to me about Gaia. I've been sifting through the RP forums for days and still can't find anything that's not either pretentious or idiotic.
We should seriously start our own sometime.
Keep the prayers coming, please!
Try the Guilds for RPs- I just joined the Literate RP Guild and it looks promising.
Well, they're all called "Literate RP Guild" regardless of the actual levels of literacy going on, I find. ;) Normally I can't be bothered to go through the whole application thing when I don't even know what's going on inside, but at this point I'm fed up enough with the lack of RP elsewhere that I might have to.
