batskeetsSo, today has been pretty awesome, so far.
First off, I HAVE AN INTERVIEW! ::explode:: The Uni called today about the Info Tech Consultant position I applied for about a month ago, so I'm interviewing with them a week from Friday. I'd be doing tech support in addition to web site work, but I'd also be able to take classes for *way* cheap, and I'd probably get benefits, so I'm hoping it works out.
I also got a surprise package in the mail today! It was belated Christmas stuff from my other aunt, who wasn't around for the big family gathering this year. She got me a couple books: Brave New World and Of Love and Other Demons. It looks as though I'll have plenty of things to read for the next few weeks, between these and my dad's books. :)
Everybody has been really great recently about networking and such.![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)
ghost_girl knows somebody at Blizzard that might put in a good word for me, and I basically went "asdlfkahsdlfkha OMFG" because that's just too cool for words! I might be getting some help in the future from other folks, too. I also just applied for another web design job with a company in Eugene, which a couple of my friends actually work for, so I'll have to talk to them soon and feel them out on that.
Yes, it does pay to keep in touch with people that are anywhere near your field. I'm feeling relieved that I have *some* connections, because I didn't really make too many friends in my MMD classes before I graduated. All I can say is, I hope that I eventually gain enough connections to repay the people who are pitching in for me right now!
The only point of annoyance today: WHERE IS MY PS2?? Stupid USPS. BRING ME MY THINGS.
Of course, I wind up with an evil person. ::aldsfhlsdkfhakl:: But it's Crawford! :D
Anyway, I did a bunch of running around today applying for regular service industry jobs, and I still have things to do before I go to work at 10. So! I'm off.
