luckily, the book test was at end, and during the interview i made sure to tell her all about this specialised book stuff i know, like about a letterpress publisher from the 60s who did some beautiful stuff, black sparrow press, and also a prestigious italian publisher she had never heard of (one point to me!). so i hopefully made it clear that i AM a book person, it's just that my knowledge is kind of all over the place.

i'm sure you impressed them! i remember a cd store in my town that was rumored to have a test like that... it seems so pretentious!

i just spent the last 7 hours cleaning my room and doing laundry. i haven't even started the bathroom yet but i am so gross right now i think that will have to wait for another day...

tehresa, Sunday, 3 August 2008 22:09 (fifteen years ago) link

7 hours of housework on a Sunday. It's "REST on Sunday" - remember?!

Sara R-C, Sunday, 3 August 2008 22:26 (fifteen years ago) link

Just kidding - awesome work. You deserve to take a break after that for sure. Also, now I feel like I'd better go get my laundry started.

RR - it sounds like the interview went pretty well anyway. Which is GREAT!

Sara R-C, Sunday, 3 August 2008 22:27 (fifteen years ago) link

i think i could only pull that excuse if i adhered to at least 1 other religious principle...

tehresa, Sunday, 3 August 2008 22:33 (fifteen years ago) link

how do you spend 7 hours tidying one room? how big is your room? i am assuming you spent many of those hours either watching the room not tidy itself or watching the laundry SPIN.

Upt0eleven, Sunday, 3 August 2008 23:05 (fifteen years ago) link

and Sara is right; God is pretty pissed at you for being productive on a Sunday.

Upt0eleven, Sunday, 3 August 2008 23:06 (fifteen years ago) link

"Wash on Monday, iron on Tuesday, mend on Wednesday..."

Sara R-C, Sunday, 3 August 2008 23:09 (fifteen years ago) link

I read your words but they don't mean much to me tbh :).

I have just returned from a weekend in Brighton that could be described as debauched and/or hedonistic and, irritatingly, must now write a job application to be in the guy's inbox when he gets into work tomorrow morn. GRR. Should have come back earlier but the fun was being had.

P.S. Banoffee pie rules.

Upt0eleven, Sunday, 3 August 2008 23:17 (fifteen years ago) link

i spent several hours going back and forth between my home and the laundromat. also my room was a disaster, so there was a lot of crap sorting and throwing out to be done.

tehresa, Sunday, 3 August 2008 23:18 (fifteen years ago) link


When my friend applied for Urban Outfitters in San Francisco last summer, she had to fill out what bands she liked and what magazines she read
Apparently word on the street was MIA and Fader were solid gold answers.

Oh dear god this should be against Equal Opportunity Employment laws.

Abbott, Sunday, 3 August 2008 23:49 (fifteen years ago) link

That is blatantly insane.

xp tehresa, my entire house needs cleaning and de-cluttering. Your "seven hours" has actually frightened me about how much time I would need to put aside to do what needs to be done here.

Sara R-C, Monday, 4 August 2008 00:26 (fifteen years ago) link

well, 7 hours makes it sort of look passable. there is really wayyyy more to be done but i can't do it until i get some shelves and organizational thingies and/or a bigger room.

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 00:27 (fifteen years ago) link

Laydeez your tidying talk is not exciting me a lot. As I write this covering letter I need excitement and i need it bad.

Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 August 2008 00:34 (fifteen years ago) link

Oh yeah, and while I don't wish to be overly fawnish, meeting Dan on Friday was an honour.

pls post 50 times so he does not read this.

Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 August 2008 00:36 (fifteen years ago) link

Dan is a sweetheart. Also, he's really funny.

Hmmmm, excitement. I got nothing. Someone show Nick your brastrap or something.

Sara R-C, Monday, 4 August 2008 00:52 (fifteen years ago) link

this!!!!^^^

Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 August 2008 00:54 (fifteen years ago) link

lolz

Sara R-C, Monday, 4 August 2008 00:57 (fifteen years ago) link

aw, i want to meet this "dan" some day.

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 01:16 (fifteen years ago) link

I also met other ILXors including LJ and Colonel Poo.

btw I see no bra-straps. I know the interents has a lot of porn in it but I just can't be bothered right now.

Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 August 2008 01:20 (fifteen years ago) link

i am watching svu right now which does not really make one want to show bra straps.

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 01:21 (fifteen years ago) link

I have met Dan, John Justen, and FB on many occasions, seeing as how I went to high school with them. Caledonia - John's girlfriend - I have also met several times. Last summer I met ghost rider and Ally as well. I wish that I could meet more people. ;_;

xp Nick, that is the laziest thing I've ever heard EVER

Sara R-C, Monday, 4 August 2008 01:24 (fifteen years ago) link

haha sara way to call him out!

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 01:28 (fifteen years ago) link

grrrr. being ganged up on.

the problem is there's really almost TOO MUCH choice.

Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 August 2008 01:32 (fifteen years ago) link

I probably shouldn't find that as funny as I do. GUILT

Sara R-C, Monday, 4 August 2008 01:34 (fifteen years ago) link

Guilt is bad for you, I vote "NO" on guilt.

I am going slightly looply due to sleep deprivation and so, having completed and dispatched the covering letter at 3am, I will retire.

For those keeping track, the bra-strap count remains at ZERO. Must do better ITR.

Upt0eleven, Monday, 4 August 2008 02:01 (fifteen years ago) link

i can not show you bra strap because i am not wearing a bra atm.

haha tmi but maybe counts for something? (i am clothed, btw)

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 02:06 (fifteen years ago) link

not that i would show anyway...

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 02:06 (fifteen years ago) link

gonna shut up now

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 02:06 (fifteen years ago) link

WILD WOMAN

Ned Raggett, Monday, 4 August 2008 03:47 (fifteen years ago) link

did not get job ;_;

Rubyredd, Monday, 4 August 2008 05:07 (fifteen years ago) link

Okay, that sucks.

Sara R-C, Monday, 4 August 2008 05:27 (fifteen years ago) link

Are there other prospects around? (hope hope)

Sara R-C, Monday, 4 August 2008 05:28 (fifteen years ago) link

:-( There will be others!

Ned Raggett, Monday, 4 August 2008 05:33 (fifteen years ago) link

Aww rubes. It always sucks when something that seems ideal doesn't happen but it's only an illusion that it's the best you could have hoped for - something as good or better WILL come along v soon. And now you've seen the kind of thing you can go for, you can be more specific on the companies/positions you hunt down maybe?

I fundamentally support* the concept of girls not wearing bras. Nice work.

*do you see what I did there?

Mark C, Monday, 4 August 2008 10:34 (fifteen years ago) link

yeah, new job come soon

I know, right?, Monday, 4 August 2008 10:55 (fifteen years ago) link

wait, so does all of itr need a new job right now? oy!

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 12:38 (fifteen years ago) link

Nick, it was great talking to you!

Also a former coworker emailed me a job lead while I was in London! ^_^

HI DERE, Monday, 4 August 2008 13:24 (fifteen years ago) link

Hahahaha, Dan, I was wondering about that, go get OK?

Had a blast but did not speak to Nick, boo. WAS ONLY OWNER OF XX CHROMOSOMES IN GROUP.

suzy, Monday, 4 August 2008 14:15 (fifteen years ago) link

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 14:51 (fifteen years ago) link

Dan, how was London? Are you able to get out and chillax on these trips?

Fluffy Bear Hearts Rainbows, Monday, 4 August 2008 14:52 (fifteen years ago) link

Yay, Dan is still alive!

Hi suzy!

Sara R-C, Monday, 4 August 2008 15:07 (fifteen years ago) link

WAS ONLY OWNER OF XX CHROMOSOMES IN GROUP.

Then I should have been there. Oh wait.

Ned Raggett, Monday, 4 August 2008 15:08 (fifteen years ago) link

i'm having a minor fidgety nervous stress freakout right now so i am thinking about just writing an email to quit this afternoon. he will get it when he gets off the plane in prague. hmm.

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link

tehresa, Monday, 4 August 2008 16:02 (fifteen years ago) link

LA LA LA

Ned Raggett, Monday, 4 August 2008 16:22 (fifteen years ago) link

WAS ONLY OWNER OF XX CHROMOSOMES IN GROUP.

Should have gone in drag...

Just got offed, Monday, 4 August 2008 16:25 (fifteen years ago) link

That would be pretty severe drag!

HI DERE, Monday, 4 August 2008 17:58 (fifteen years ago) link

Well, he has a good start with the hair anyway. All he needs is a curling iron and some hairspray and his coiffure would be golden.
