I HAS A JOB INTERVIEW AT THE BOOK STORE TOMORROW

WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOT!

awesome! good luck!!!

can't believe i got offered an interview after the terrible, long, rambling email i wrote.

thanks tza!!

have you Quit The Job yet?

Yayay for RR. :-) You will rock the bookstore.

That's AWESOME RR!!!! So excited for you!

have not quit yet :( i am like stockholm syndrome over here or something. can not quit cause dude is gonna leave for 1.5 week trip tomorrow and if i quit he will explode. plus, it means i get paid for 1.5 weeks of not having to see or talk to him, right?

the ups guy is hot.

Flirt with him.

this is somewhat difficult in our 5-second "sign here, thank you." exchanges

I confess that you'd have to use your imagination...

i will try to work on a plan.

sign for the package with "U R DREAMY XOXOXO"

John favors the Very Direct approach. Others may think you are a psycho, however.

whoops, i dropped the pen. would you mind if i signed this with your dick?

lol it is one of those electronic signy things... hmmm... i think it is attached...

he seemed happy to see me today.

lolol

I don't know, that sounds like it could wind up being uncomfortable for someone.

i think it is attached...

I hope it's attached to him.

The pen?

OUCH

ok so my interview is at 12.30 tomorrow, and she wants me to bring a resume and three references. now, i only have one (written) reference from my boss at the shoe store (it's pretty amazing one), and am STILL waiting for one from my boss at the restaurant (the excuses he's been giving me are fantastical: "i got a printer to design an amazing letterhead because i want this to be really professional looking for you but it's just taking awhile" - four months notice of my departure wasn't enough time??).

is this going to be a problem, or do you think i can just give her ph numbers/email addresses? and is two enough? i've only had two jobs in the last 8yrs!

just give her the phone numbers and emails. do you have another coworker from either job that could rep for you? or a personal ref?

they probably won't even bother since it will mean calling new zealand. i've never really had anyone actually bother to check my references.

is there someone from the university you could put down as a referee?

phone numbers will be fine seconded. if they like you they won't even call i bet

this all sounds great, everything is going to work out, and the anxiety will ebb away as you adjust.

they will like you!

hmmm, i've got two written references from a couple of my old restaurant customers, i guess i could use their email addresses/ph numbers.

oh, and i have this gorgeous reference that the dad wrote me: the restaurant i worked at was family-run, but when i started there it was the dad who ran things, with his wife and one son. now there are another three sons there, and they run everything. but years ago, when i 'moved' to sydney (for 10 days), dad wrote me this reference like you've never seen before. i wish i could post it here! it was full of bad english and ellipses, and didn't say really anything about my skills, jsut how much he loved me and would miss me and that he didn't want me to leave! so cute!

thanks guys! estela - i didn't think of that, i should probably give my print professor as a reference.

give me as a reference

You guys all have such brilliant ideas (which would never occur to me...)!

I am totally crossing my fingers for you on this interview, RR.

jergins i am totally giving her your email address so you can be one of my 'personal' references.

when she asks what your relationship is to me:

'oh he's just some dude i know from the internetz who i've never met. but it's cool yo - i moved here to be with some internetz dude!!'

i'm sure she won't think i'm whack.

perfect

i already got it, thanks buddy ;)

i just got a wrong-number phone call from Romania!

That sounds weirdly enjoyable.

I had to call someone to register for a class today, and I swear I had a great time talking on the phone to this random woman. (How desperate am I for social interaction when I start to chit chat with receptionists?!)

ITR as a reference. Lots of BATMANG

RUBYREDD HAS MANY GREAT QUALITIES WHAT ARE INCLUDED BUT NOT SPECIFIC TO THE POSTING OF MANY TIMES A THING AND ALSO THE FIGHTING OF CRIME AND THE LIKE ALSO SHE EATS MEAT AND THAT IS ALWAYS OK IN YOUR GODLESS LAND OF CALIFORNIA WHERE THE SOY FLOW LIKE THE PROVERBIAL WINE OF THE GODS

I KNOW THIS BECAUSE AM BATMANG

PS BATMANG!

i am c&p-ing that, printing it out and taking it to my interview tomorrow

hai guys, from rhode island.

i am alone for the first time in the four days i have been here. i will make seven tiny dispatches:

1) am going to be an uncle. did i already say this on here? no? well, i am. yay.
2) my brother-in-law, dairo, is supercool. my spanish is a lot better on this trip, and his english is a lot better. now we talk about stuff. like i told him his sunglasses made him look gay, and he thought it was a compliment and went into work and said to everybody 'my sunglasses are gay, my brother in law says so"
3) my dad retired yesterday, but we decided not to throw him a party because he hates "fuss" and now he is upset we did not throw him a party.
3a) it is two million degrees, and my dad's first act of retirement is to ban the use of air conditioners for some cryptic reason nobody can understand. this is especially appreciated by my preggers sister.
4) i bought my mom a henckels santoku knife but she returned it cuz she thought it was weird. i am offended
5) my cousin has just gotten out of jail, and came to visit. he told me all sorts of fascinating things about prison, not the least interesting of which is how to make wine out of oranges, trash bags, and cherry kool-aid.
6) when my father was a prison chaplain, he had one of his parishoners die from drinking wine made from ketchup.
7) i went swimming today in the ocean, but almost got kicked off the beach for going out too far. the guard actually came in the water to yell at me -- and i realized she was the kid sister of a girl i dated over ten years ago, when I was a lifeguard and used to yell at her. this was all very humorous, etc., but i used my leverage to get permission to swim like 200 feet into the atlantic. then i go scared of sharks and came in.

also i have suggested my sister name her baby either Fatty or Rhinocerous Rex, but she does not appreciate this at all, not one little bit.

my sunglasses are gay, my brother in law says so
=
i <3 dario

my sister got really mad at me for that

hahah awww remy!!!!!!!!! you have just made my week with those posts!

remy, you are having such an adventurous week! I'm glad no sharks got you. And congratulations on the impending uncle-ness!

Try to stay cool (btw, no a.c. while pregnant = horrible horrible BAD BAD BAD) and I want to hear more about the ketchup wine death. Because WAU

hey remy, is the residency stuff all sorted for your sis' husband now? and yay for being an uncle!

guys this really really big muscly scary gangsta dude just glad-eyed me while i was walking home. i smiled back politely - was that the right thing to do?? nz is so different!

estela, you were right: must stop making eye contact with people :/

estela is probably right, but of course I know nothing of this, because in Northfield even the crazies are friendly and primarily harmless
