thetofupirateI can't remember if I mentioned that I did get an email from my editing/researching job, and I'm going in for training on Tuesday. Phew! No more worrying that I didn't really get hired! ;)
And this morning I also got a phone call for a second interview at the place I interviewed at last Wednesday! YAY! I am very excited about that - I think I would really like that job. And my "Holy SHIT! I have to write a press release? OH NO! How do I do that? THINK! Picture one of Trish's press releases, QUICK!" must have been okay. I'd told Trish that story, so I emailed her right after I got the phone call. I'll do some research tonight on other communications things, just so I'm not out of it again tomorrow. Be prepared, me!
And now I'm off to former employer to return the passcards that I forgot to bring on Friday. And to exchange the dictionary they got me (although I'll be doing that elsewhere, not a former employer) - they gave me The Oxford Dictionary of English, instead of the Canadian one. How much cooler is the Canadian one? It's got the finger tabs at the start of each letter section, and the plain old English one doesn't! Plus, it's $5 cheaper. Go Canada!
Yes, I'm a nerd. They got me a dictionary as a going away present (as well as a messenger bag, coin purse, and a finger piano from Mali. The bag and coin purse were not from Mali); I think it confused some people. My immediate coworkers did a think where they took each letter of my name and had a bunch of other words starting with that letter to describe me, so I joked that if my name had an "n" in it, they'd have had to use the word "nerd".
