tarmachanSo it's only a part time, three nights a week at most deal, but I got a job! Yay, sweet money!
It's basically waitressing at this fairly posh pub-that-is-pretty-much-a-restaurant in my town, doing the usual stuff only the dishes are stuff like venison meatballs, rabbit and pheasant. O.o
Though I must admit, my boss seems pretty nice and I didn't have a single horrible customer on my (nerve-wracking) first night, which was also a trial to see if I'd get the job. I did feel a little teary-eyed when I made mistakes, but I am very self-critical at times.
I may have to get a day job, however, just to make more money, and also to rid myself of the creeping boredom coming from suddenly not being at uni this year and running out of things to do. It's not procrastination if there's no work to be done! Although I am going to be applying for PhDs soon, so that'll be something exciting to procrastinate from! XD
At least with this it means I don't have to stress as much about finding a job, and I can concentrate more on making myself sound good enough to get a PhD (ah, why do I have so little research experience?), and I can also start saving up to go back to the USA (finally!) which was my real reason for looking for a job for this year in the first place.
Yay! Employment! It's been a while, so it's nice to get back into the bustle of work. :D

on 2011-10-17 10:40 am (UTC)Yeah, I think I have more free time right now to write, because the unis I'm interested in haven't put up their PhDs yet. I'm working on my remix fic at the mo, and when that's done I feel like I'll have time to write some more stuff *is not used to writing fics to a deadline*
I'm mega excited for the restart of Legal Drug in November, so it might not be Kurofai that pops out of my brain next, though!

on 2011-10-17 10:44 am (UTC)I'm hoping to get a stack of writing done once my exams are over; I still have to write the next chapter of EB
else my readers lynch me for leaving them overhanging a cliff for months on endbut my next immediate plans are for the pokecrack and the fic I said I'd write for Faren over in my timestamp :D I've done my remix, so I'll probably post that closer to friday (I'll be busy over the weekend so I won't be online to check the shiny new fics) but I am so excited to see the results of the challenge!Best of luck with whatever you write (though I must admit I'm hoping for some kurofai XD)

on 2011-10-17 10:53 am (UTC)Thanks! I'll try my best! My new obsession at the moment is UraBoku, which despite not being written by CLAMP has so many implied couples, so I'd like to try writing for that (though kurofai will inevitably drag me back into the Tsubasa fandom as soon as I try something different XD)
