"3 for 3"
¶ 9:29 PM Today I didn't get the call I was expecting. Said call was about the results of a job interview I had two weeks ago. The guy said I would here by yesterday and he didn't call yesterday or today. I think I'm going to assume I didn't get that job.
I did get a call from another ski resort I had applied for way back on September 30th. Since it was a reportedly a six month thing ending in april I just assumed since I hadn't heard anything by the 15th it was obviously past and they'd already hired someone. I mean october...april...six months right? Well I was surprised when I got a call at 4:30 today from the IT person at that ski resort asking if I was still interested.
Of course the other ski resort's job would be permanent and I can only assume therefore better. But if this job is offered then obviously I will take it. If I take it I can't exactly turn around and quit this six-month thing for the permanent. Or can I?
That's assuming both would make the offer. Which is assuming an awful lot obviously. I think I would like the more permanent of the two. Even if the people offering the six month one lie to me about some possibility of it becoming permanent later. I mean it's good to hear anyway right?
Anyway I'm so very glad I am getting all these offers. Makes me a little optimistic kind of.
Sunday will be the start of my writing marathon I do almost every november. I skipped last year ya see. Did the three years prior to that. This is the first year I think I'm unemployed at the start. Don't know what will happen with that. I mean will that make writing easier...or harder?
I have found in the past I do some of my best writing when I'm kind of stressed out. It's like the more stressed I am the more layers of inhibition melt away thereby letting the good writing flow. It's like when you clear your mind and make a basket from half court. Or something. Anyway little to no stress may or may not be condusive to the creative writing process. I guess I'll find out.
Other bit of note is that after looking over a large portion of my room for the reciept to the OPlay I found it in my jeans pocket. It was almost comedic out of some crummy sit-com: looking all over only to find it in a pocket. I only hope the store will take it back.
Besides just starting my WHS box on a scandisk of all drives which will probably take all night and some of tomorrow I have nothing more to write about. What with all the theoretical novel writing I'll be doing I don't know if I'll still write in this blog. I'll try though.
