So. I interviewed for this job on Wednesday. The one I *didn't* get last time, the one I angsted about and is responsible for the fact that I spent a *lot* of money on home entertainment equiptment in January. It went okay, I think, and I walked in and saw the interviewer and the PM of another group sitting there, and thought, crap, I'm doomed. Because--the Big Boss of another office? Yeah, this would help me relax.
I walked in armed with a kind of not-giving-a-shit--my PM asked me to be rep for our office to a meeting about issues with the new computer system we're using. I had two new clerks to train. People at the office had an odd idea that I knew what I was doing. And I bought a new dress and shoes to commemorate my bonus, and I felt like, really, my entire self-worth was not riding on this moment. My shoes rocked. They really did.
Then I went to Thundercloud Sub and bought brownies and cookies and a sandwich, to complete my ritual. Ate the brownie. Ignored the egg salad.
At five, while doing set-up for the next day, my supervisor paged me to her office, where she handed me the phone. I had the job.
Yes, so you can say, I had a good day yesterday.
Student loan consolidation is still giving me crap, but right now? I am going to training mid-month and I am *happy* with the world. I am *blissful* with the world. I *like* the world a lot. I want to buy it smiley faces and brownies and write it long romance novels full of angst and true love. Because the world is just that cool.
I also need a beta, if I can ever get out of this weird--and let me say this again, *weird*--block I have with this idiotic story. God, I hate trying to write for an unfamiliar fandom. It just makes me itch. Itch, itch, itch. *sighs* Plus, you know, unfamiliar canon. Or any canon, for that matter. Gah.
Stupid non-sense-making story.
But! Job! More money! Whee!

From:I already had you pegged as doing well, but now this? You get the next step up? *dances* So glad there's hope. I will hold onto your example, and chant "I think I can, I think I can."
Oh, and btw, I have one of my fellow academics reading your fic. He read "Sleep While I Drive." Loved it. Now he's reading "Three Impossible Things." Same story. He'll cream when he learns you write QaF, which I also turned him onto. Hee! In my dream life, I introduce the two of you, and he goes on and on about how exactly right you get the gay while you beam serenely, thinking "I know. Bow down before me." And then all your fics end up in lit anthologies, so you get rich, rich, rich....
*hugs*

Re: new job....way to go!!!
From:And. *deep breath* RPS. *Bad* RPS, in which canon is--what the hell is canon? I'm using *interviews* and *articles* for canon. This kind of adjustment is just--I have no idea.
*sighs* Of all the things to fall into....

From:Do I write Justin/Brian, even though I dislike both of them, or do I risk losing my soul to sparkly-slash... (Brian needs to stop being so unco-operative, and start helping.)
