thrihyrneHighlights from the past couple of days:
‡ A really thoughtful bus driver yesterday who actually announced each stop before getting to it
‡ A two-part conversation with![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
elfscribe5 over two days; we haven't spoken on the phone in a long, long time
‡ Engaging phone conversations with Jen and emansil_08 this morning, plus a card from emansil_08 as well
‡ Having an interview yesterday, even though it turned out to be a group of six of us; we got an overview of the positions and we each gave some of our relevant working background, asked some questions, and were told they'll review our resumes and will [perhaps] call some of us back next week for actual individual interviews (though that just means more bus time for me, but I think I'd groove on their customer service so I do hope they call)
‡ Having a great modeling session today from noon to 3:00— I even got a round of applause at the end! I did work pretty hard, alternating a sitting and standing pose with only two short breaks and one 10 minute one. That said, it meant the professor let me go around 2:35 instead of 3:00 and I already had my time slip for 3 hours of work. However, the business office isn't open on Saturdays so I'm still going to either have to go out there again on the bus (which means more of the cash is eaten away) or, hopefully I can go to the branch of campus that's much closer to me and cash it out there.
‡ Getting out of my modeling today and checking my phone and discovering a voicemail from my potential long-distance paramour. There's something pretty amazing about having a voicemail from someone in New Zealand. Out of curiosity, I called the number back (it's a Skype number and somehow seems to come up as a domestic 10-digit number) and got him! We're going to talk again later tonight, so I'm definitely looking forward to that.
‡ Along those lines, the wireless router I ordered from Amazon showed up this morning instead of some time after Thanksgiving, as I had expected. Once I get it set up I'll be able to video chat with said intriguing individual in NZ. :)
‡ For fun I downloaded a Cirque du Soleil video to my computer and will watch that this evening while knitting until my phone call comes in
‡ Lunch withevannichols tomorrow!! Should be wonderful to get caught up and I'm really looking forward to seeing him again.
