Revelations and Job-hunting

So, further job hunting today. I swear my life at present could sometimes double as a dark-comedy. Anyway. I went to St. J's office and I found out why the lady gave me a funny look when I wanted to advertise on the back of the newsletter- apparently that's a thing they do by _year_, not month, which seems incredibly dumb to me, but I guess it made sense to someone. Having done that, I proceeded to almost get run over as I went to check out a place my housemates suggested. They didn't know what it was but thought it might be worth my time. It wasn't. It was a training center for people with physical handicaps, so they can get jobs... So yeah.
Then I stopped in at a restaurant I applied to- no dice. The person I could talk to if I felt like it wouldn't be in for another half hour. I decided against it and walked home.
On an upside of sorts I got a phone call about an interview for a tutoring center. The woman seemed really thick. I know that's not charitable and I have no right to call anyone thick when I don't even have a job right now, but she didn't seem to be able to get it through her head that I could walk anywhere in downtown FR and I'd be willing to walk a bit further if necessary. She said "But what if it rains?"
I actually said "I won't melt."
... I'm bad, aren't I. ;)
For lunch today, SuprNico made an omlette and it was wonderful. After that, ZMas (who was visiting), SuprNico and I all played a game of Scrabble. We were interrupted repeatedly by cellphones and the house phone going off, and out of all of this, one good thing came. I got a call about an interview tomorrow with the print shop!! When I submitted my application I was told that there were about fifteen to twenty applicants for the job. I'm wondering if they're just being methodical about crossing people off the list, or if it's possible that I'm actually remotely ahead of some of those fifteen to twenty people. For my own selfish sake, I hope it's my good qualifications. Anyway. When I have a job, I can worry about finding a place to live. Funnily enough it was the opposite way around for this month/last month. Does that make any sense? I'm a bit tired..
Anyway. Now to the revelations.
Today I learned that I am housemates with not one, but two former BOLers!! SuprNico (of only three posts, but hey, I'm counting her anyway) and Avrilyn. Well, no need to search for a blogname for Avrilyn! Wow... And her boyfriend is _THE_ Joe! Previously I had thought of him as 'That nice if somewhat weedy guy that Avrilyn hangs out with.' Now he will forever be THE Joe... Wow... I'm still kind of in awe about that.
Oh, and for those who didn't know, I'm apparently Ambassador to Hungary. Hehehe... I will explain that in my post tomorrow. Until then, I will leave you on the edge of your seats or whatever other edged items you happen to have handy, because I am tired and my head hurts. I think I'm dehydrated. Anyway, consider that your incentive to check back on this blog tomorrow! And pray for my interview! It's at 2PM.

By "check back tomorrow" you of course mean "check back tomorrow night at some ungodly hour", yes? ;)

How did your interview go, by the way?

Well, some ungodly hour is still technically 'tomorrow' so it's all good!;)
