I finally got the new laptop. I even managed to install some software.God, it feels good to be connected with the rest of the word again! Not that much worth reporting on has happened...
In this job hunt of mine I've reached a point where I find myself hoping that somewhere someone with a job either gets killed, gets seriously ill and subsequently finds her/himself on a lengthy sick-leave or accidentally falls pregnant just so that somewhere a job opens up. I'm not proud of these dark thoughts I harbour...
I suppose I could always apply for a job as a Chelsea FC manager. They've gone through 9 managers in as many years, so at some point inevitably even I will be considered qualified for the job.
Then again, I've learnt yet another valuable lesson. I had that job interview today and noticed that when you apply for a job you're not qualified for, one you're not really interested in and in a company you don't particularly value you're nowhere near as nervous at the actual interview. So, there's a chance it actually went well!
I spent the rest of the day hunched over the keyboard, tapping away like a maniac hoping to finish the test translation asap so that I can wow them with my efficiency and elaborate rhyming. My neck is stiff, my back aches, I haven't had time to eat anything and I never want to see another poorly drawn, politically incorrect cartoon again. I'm hoping the test went well and that I will hear more by the end of this week.
I would love for them to hire me on permanent basis, though in that case this is what I'd be doing from now on. Staring at the computer screen, deprived of any social contact.
Though... perhaps doing that, while sat on the balcony overlooking my own pool in Spain, isn't such a bad scenario after all...?
