Toodling around the company's website yesterday, I discovered that the guy who emailed me from his Blackberry yesterday was the CEO and founder.

Uh... yay?

So!

I had... a very bad day yesterday. I discovered an hithertofore (woot! Random unwieldy lengthy obscure old term! Possibly used incorrectly! But I like it, so FNAR!) unbeknown (Score 2! BOOYAH!) to me hole in the finances. Like... a BIG hole. One which caused a SERIOUS problem. A serious, non-rent-paying, can't buy any food for the pantry again, ( Read more... )

I *think* - and I hope, oh dear god do I hope - that the works outside my house are coming to an end. The road seems to have been topped up to it's final level, a larger, heavy top coating of gravel is down, and has been compacted and rolled flat (which HOLY FUCK, is such a noisy process, and the vibrations through the house border on glass- ( Read more... )

So I just emailed off my CV (resume, American/French people!) to two Recruitment Agencies. Well, I emailed my CV to one and went through the online registration forms for the other, which was kind of a pain in the arse since it was fairly lengthy.

For the love of god, if I can't even get an interview for jobs like these? What the bloody hell hope have I got of getting anything?!

Have applied for another job - an "Administration Manager" gig. By "Administration Manager" what I'm really assuming they mean is the sole-charge office admin person that seems prevalent in the smaller set-ups of NZ companies. Which... could be lonely work, but at least it's varied, right? Right?!

Anyway, that takes the current tally to:

I DID indeed receive my Combination Nation DVD's the other day. And I've been watching them and writing one of my "I Obviously Wrote This WHILE I Was Watching" live-action type reviews. I may get round to posting it at some point soon, although I'm sure none of my flisties are particularly interested. But hey! Some bellydance n00b may one day ( Read more... )

Thank you SO much to all my lovely flisties who commented yesterday and gave me luvs and supports. You made me cry, damn you all. (You know, in that way when you're RIGHT ON THE EDGE just managing to hold back the tears and then someone says something nice and you're all: "OH GOD, don't be NICE to me! *sob sob sob sob sob sob*"? Yeah. Like that.)

... no job at Company E for me either.

I think it's time for us to look into borrowing the money required to get us home.
