there's a reason i'm number one on the speed dial
I had two interviews today, and I think they both went well. They both lasted for about forty minutes, and the first was an in-person interview with HR after a half hour phone interview; it sounds like an interesting job in a company I'd probably enjoy working for, but there is still at least one more round - possibly two - of interviews, and I can't get my hopes up. The second was one I sent in a resume yesterday on a whim and they called me. It sounds like a fantastic job for which I am completely the wrong person. Not that I told them that, though if they call me to come back for a second interview, I will possibly have to mention it then.
It was exhausting, even though there was enough time between appointments to come home for about ninety minutes before i had to leave again. I am pretty fried, so I am not sure how many of the ficlet requests I'm going to get to in the next few days. Instead, I did a set of self-recs at halfamoon this evening:
I'm not sure I'm going to be able to write anything else for the challenge, but here are some female-character-centric stories I've written over the years:
Seven Firefly stories:
And Bind Up Every Wandering Tress
Firefly; River, Kaylee, Inara, Zoe; pg-13; 1230 words
Like Rapunzel, she will let down her hair, and they can all climb inside her.
Beautiful Solution
Firefly; River/Mal; adult; 2,030 words
River knows where she's not wanted, and, more importantly, where she is.
It's wrong to wish on space hardware
Firefly; Kaylee, Mal; g; 1,005 words
She makes sure the new bits and pieces get broke in the right way, so as they fit with the old, everything working together to keep her girl in the air.
The Place Where
Firefly; Zoe and Mal; g; 1,270 words
As long as he's still breathing, she'll always have a home.
Another Gravity
Firefly; Mal/Zoe; pg-13; 1,490 words
She chose him once, when the 'verse went spinning wrong way up and everything seemed lost, and now she chooses him again.
Where the heavens are shallow as the sea is now deep
Firefly; Inara (Mal/Inara, Mal/River); PG; 6,915 words
Inara wavers between the two lives she's living; she knows the time is nearing when she will have to make a choice, and she's not sure she can.
From Horizon to Horizon
Firefly; Kaylee/Simon, Kaylee/Mal; PG; 15,210 words
Kaylee's no fairytale princess, but she's looking for a perfect fit.
and one Friday Night Lights/Supernatural crossover:
Atlanta Never Looked the Same
Friday Night Lights/Supernatural; Tyra (Sam and Dean); pg; 8,550 words
Tyra's never been the kind of girl who looks back.

I caught up on The Office tonight and wow, Michael makes me cringe and *facepalm*. I did love Dwight and Jim trying to be the party planning committee. And Oscar and Kevin watching Angela be freaky with her cats.
Burn Notice makes me SO HAPPY. Sam! ♥ ♥ ♥ Badger! Always a pleasure! And the dude who gave Scully the evil tattoo! And the cop from the Badge Bunny ep of Life!
That was a very enjoyable episode. Sam! So awesome! Wow, I really thought Sam's new lady friend was going to turn out to be important for the case. And I love the rivalry between Fi and Sam. Bwah!
And aw, now Michael is going to eat dinner with his mom. Aw. Sadly, there still has been no real movement on the Carla front, but since I am not really watching for the arc, I don't mind so much.

Now maybe I will try to do some catching up on comments, or maybe I will just go to bed.
