Of dream jobs and dream apartments…
Remember the amazing apartment I found online last week? The Snook and I went to check it out on Saturday (along with three other places in the neighborhood). To make a long story short: It wasn’t my dream apartment after all. The first thing we noticed when we arrived was that I was not the only person pulled in by those photos. There had to be a hundred people there for the viewing, and we had to wait in a queue just to take the lift up. The photos weren’t misleading or anything; the place still looked gorgeous. The biggest problem for us was the kitchen, which wasn’t pictured (for good reason). It just hadn’t been done up to the standard of the rest of the place, and it would need a major overhaul to be what we’d like. Also, the bedroom faced full west, and even on this cool spring day it was noticeably warmer in there. (It would be sweltering in the summer.) So, lesson learned. I’m going to try hard not to get emotionally attached to any place I haven’t inspected with my own eyes; it’s too easy to be misled.
In other news… I have a phone interview this Friday. I don’t want to talk it up too much in case I jinx it, but it’s with my #1 Dream Company to Work For. I’m nervous but excited. Any positive thoughts you could send my way – be it prayers, The Secret, whatever – would be much appreciated!

Good luck. But we’d miss you in The Shop. ::sob::
Ideally I’d still like to do the website here, so you won’t be rid of me completely!
thinking of you
hope it is what I think it is…..
Wow!
Really?
I think I know who you mean – GOOD LUCK!
Wow! I didn’t know you had Wal-Mart in Australia!
Oh, that’s only your #2 Dream Company? My bad.
I kid, I kid. Fingers crossed and Hail Mary for you!
Hahahhaa… Thanks, RT. Much needed!
WoW! You’re applying for a job at Netdecisions again are you :p
No seriously, i’ve known about your secret desire to get into the Naked Choco Can-Can Dancers of Sydney for sometime so i get into the line up.
Good luck with the phone interview and i think i might know the company so fingers crossed for you.
Gaaa me and my typos 🙁 Silly me being up so late.. 4.32am here.
“No seriously, i’ve known about your secret desire to get into the Naked Choco Can-Can Dancers of Sydney for sometime so i get into the line up.”
should be
“No seriously, i’ve known about your secret desire to get into the Naked Choco Can-Can Dancers of Sydney for sometime so i hope you get into the line up.”
Though thinking about it, i wouldn’t mind getting into the line up too. Don’t think i have the legs for it though 🙁
GO TO BED, FERRET! 🙂
Hmmm… It occurs to me that some of you who think you know the company are probably thinking of the wrong one. It’s not Apple. 🙂
Although word is you’ll get the iPhone by end of 2008. That employee discount is something to think about. 🙂
I’m thinking of ABC 🙂
Ok… im off to Zzzz… hope it went/goes well for you.
I know it, new tv show, “Good morning Sydney, welcome to Knit With Kris!”
I hope this is not the end of The Tales of Retail Hell 😉
BTW. Where are those stories, waiting too long time now, withdrawal symptom.
