Job stuff

Updates! Meant to do this days ago.... I sent off the long job questionnaire on Monday (took me most of the weekend!), and had a telephone interview this morning. Just got off the phone and am full of adrenaline, heh. It was really quite painless in the end - much less nerve-wracking than the lead up, as usual. Basically she pretended to be a client and asked me questions about the tour. I had thought up until 1 hour prior to the interview that I had read everything I needed to and was fully prepared, then I happened to look at her email again and found a 29-page document attached to it, full of tour details. EEEK. So, cue one hour of frantic reading, highlighting, and note-taking (fortunately a lot of it was just lists of train schedules/hotels/etc). I even typed up a super-quick table of contents so I could refer quickly to the right page. ^^ Ended up using barely any of it... but thank god I did it anyway, because I know I used some of the info from there that I had memorized, and I did refer to it once or twice.

Anyway. It's over, yay! *collapses* And I have a proper interview on Tuesday, so that's good. 1.5 hours (including a computer test) and the head of the company will be there too. o.o Yikes. But yay! I know I don't really have the experience for this job, but hopefully they'll be willing to take me on and train me anyway. I'm (mostly) sure that I can do it. ^^

Right now, I need to decompress... then try to get some other stuff done today, like applying to another job I've been intending to apply for, and maybe doing a bit of studying for the big freaking exam I'm taking at the start of March that I still have a ton left to read for. I kind of want to, like, go outside and run around to get rid of excess energy, heh. But it's icky and slushy out there. If it's gonna snow, couldn't it do so properly and then NOT rain the next morning?? Typical Vancouver.

Christmas ornaments

Okay, so I've been meaning to post these for weeks.. better late than never, I guess! As most of you who know me IRL already know, I spent much of December making cross-stitched Christmas ornaments. I started off making these ornaments, then I started branching out and designing my own. It got rather addicting, heh.

Anyway, check them out behind the cut. Fandoms represented: Due South, Doctor Who, and Supernatural.

I'm planning to offer to make one for qldfloodauction, which is a pan-fandom effort to raise money to help those affected by the floods in Queensland, Australia. I'll link here when I've made the post, so if you have your eye set on one then look out... and I could be persuaded to design a new one, depending on how much is donated and whether I can design it effectively. ^^

And on a similar crafty note, I completed my first crochet plushie! A Tardis, based on this pattern. The lettering's pretty bad, but oh well, I like it anyway.

Tardis!
