It's official now: I have a job.
So relieved!
I've sort of known for two weeks, but I just got the final confirmation that I can come in and sign my contract next week.
It's customer service, with an insurance company. Basically, I'll be one of the people you call when you need to report an accident. If I can polish up my French a bit I may be able to work in the international division eventually (which involves exciting tasks such as talking to French car mechanics when an insurance customer's car breaks down in France, etc. :D).
I'll be doing 25 hours per week, in somewhat flexible shifts. It'll be... interesting to see how I'll fit my goldsmithing around that, but I'll work something out. I'll have to.
The only sad thing about this is that I may have to cancel my Worldcon plans - I'm not really sure I'll be able to take time off in August.
