Stunned moment

[selenay]

Um, someone wants to interview me? Me?

Got an interview for Tuesday next week :-) Way, way quicker than I thought it would be. Totally. It's for a graduate trainee developer position and the agency is sending me further details. I only applied for it this morning! Man, that's stunning.

My sister, who has been searching for work for six months and got another rejection last night, is a little miffed. Oops.

In other news, what does a girl do when she unexpectedly has a day off? Why, she updates The Haven with new fanfic reviews. Only six of them - not much reading got done last month - but they're all quality fics :-) Tomorrow I may play around with PSP or finally rewatch 'The Eye' so that I can write the next Teyla/Weir thing. Or both, even :-)

It's amazing how much a prospective job interview can perk up the mood :-)

Hey, congrats! Good luck with your interview. :)

I only applied for it this morning!
That is really awesome! :D

[selenay]

Thanks!

That is really awesome! :D

Um, it might be. Or it could be a sign that I'm destined to get interviews fast and never get the job.

Watch as I descend into a pit of worthlessness and self-pity :-)

Or it could be a sign that I'm destined to get interviews fast and never get the job.
Heh. I seem to be destined to not even get one interview... which, thus leads to not having a job. ;)

Watch as I descend into a pit of worthlessness and self-pity :-)
::fills up that pit with blue jello:: There. Now let's see ya try to work around that. :P

Aww ::pets:: I'm still amazed - I'm a new graduate. Hell, I'm so new that I haven't even had my graduation ceremony. Why in hell is someone so eager to employ me?

Now let's see ya try to work around that. :P

::snicker:: If you were to toss in, say, Janet...or Sam...or Teyla...or Elizabeth...or all of the above...

Sorry, lost my train of thought. Where was I going with that? ;-)

If you were to toss in, say, Janet...or Sam...or Teyla...or Elizabeth...or all of the above...
LOL! I just assumed that Sam would have grabbed a spoon by now. ;)

Yay!!!

Good luck. I'll keep my fingers crossed for you, hon.

[selenay]

Thanks, hon :-) It's a position that I'd definitely enjoy, but I'm trying not to get too invested in it because I'd be absolutely amazed if I got a job from the first interview.

Well done!

Although I have a whole load more reviews from stories I've read in the past week that I have on my list of things to do tonight. And some that are so old I'm going to have to re-read them, annoyingly.

[selenay]

Well done!

Thanks!

Although I have a whole load more reviews from stories

*g* Whenever you're ready, hon :-) I don't think that I've thanked you often enough for all the reviews, have I?

I should also add that one of your reviews lead Alo to Azkaban's Lair, which she has spent several weeks happily devouring and reports that all the fic is really rather good. She says thanks :-)

I don't think that I've thanked you often enough for all the reviews, have I?

You don't have to. I've been using them as a way of sending feedback (assuming something is that good). So I've actually been sending more feedback since I started doing them.

*g* It wasn't the crazy job that I applied for on Sunday, but it's *a* job and something that I think I'd enjoy. Thanks for the encouragement :-)

I'm not getting my hopes up too much because it's fairly unlikely that I'll get a job after only one interview, but it's encouraging that someone hasn't been put off by my non-traditional route.
