Things! Thiiiings.
Job hunting has turned into an lol-worthy affair. Apple has now turned me down - twice. I had two interviews for one store, got a "thanks but no thanks" email, and then a few days later got a call from their HR saying they had an opening at another store and would I like an interview there. So I went to two more interviews and just got another "thanks but no thanks" email so... lol. Thanks for jerking me around for a whole month, I guess.
But all is not lost! I had an interview for this adorable upscale furniture consignment shop for an admin position yesterday. And then today I had an interview for an admin position at an... interesting place. Basically? It's a hypnotist/life coach office, which makes me lol just typing. Apparently the guy charges $1000 a session and is usually booked from 8am to sometimes 11pm. SO THAT'S A THING. But the pay is reaaaally well, even if my hours would be a little kooky (1pm-8pm). Also there's no window where I'd be sitting. ;___; But with the pay, I'd be able to deal with it. I GUESS.
And then I got an email today for an interview Friday at a publishing company! As a production assistant! Not admin! YAY! AND I just had a friend recommend me to her boss's wife; I'm going to her office tomorrow to help her sort and rewrite a bunch of stuff for her website. All of this is on top of my current job, manuscript proofing fiction novels (which has hit an unfortunate dry spell for the moment, sigh). It's telecommuting, and I work under just one person, the editor, who sends me the novels. AND I just started writing articles for this website, owned by my friend's mom. AND AND I should be getting hired on shortly for a bigger publishing company for proofreading as well; the paperwork just needs to be sorted!
SO WOW YES ALL THE THINGS. Fingers crossed I can get something steady here soon, though.
Also my parents bought a house!! Look at it!! It's so cute! They want to take out the carpet in some areas and put hardwood floors in, as well as a few other minor changes for the time being, so move-in day will hopefully be around the beginning of December. Can't wait to go there for Christmas and ACTUALLY HAVE A FIREPLACE AND HAVE IT BE COLD ON CHRISTMAS DAY OMG BACKFLIPS FOR DAAAAYS.
On the SPN front, I'm still watching, and still really loving most of it, but this week's episode was just... bleh. Boring. Ret-conning. And Ezekiel!Sam is just... not doing it for me. Reasons for which I explained here. Also I kind of have a weird embarrassment squick about it, so, uh, yeah. It's my cross to bear, I know. But for now I'll just keep my fingers crossed that Dean actually gets to do something this season. And read fic. (I'm good at that.)
