Stunned moment
Jan. 6th, 2005 05:53 pmUm, 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 :-)

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 :-)

Date: 2005-01-06 06:15 pm (UTC)Heh. I seem to be destined to not even get one interview... which, thus leads to not having a job. ;)

::fills up that pit with blue jello:: There. Now let's see ya try to work around that. :P

Date: 2005-01-06 06:35 pm (UTC)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? ;-)

Date: 2005-01-06 06:38 pm (UTC)LOL! I just assumed that Sam would have grabbed a spoon by now. ;)
::"accidentally" pushes Elizabeth into the pit of jello:: *whistles innocently*

Date: 2005-01-06 07:34 pm (UTC)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.

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 :-)

Date: 2005-01-07 10:11 am (UTC)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.
