What's Going On
So, a rundown of things that are up with me.
1. I'm working on my 2010 New Year's Resolutions. It's not a once a month thing, it's things I have to do all year long (but some can start at various points in the year, to disperse cost or because trying to start 12 things at once is just hard).
2. I'm going to work on being more fannish with this journal. If nothing else in my life makes me happy, TV will, dang it!
3. Got turned down for two jobs. Got called this morning about another. There's another long-term temp job that may be calling me as well. And the Big Job that I'm still in the process for has finished the background check, and due to certain indications, I think I'm on to the next stage there. So while I'm not hopeful on much of anything at the moment, I'm going to seize a few things and go with the flow. I actually intend on writing out my answers to the most common questions asked in interviews, just so I can not sabotage myself on those fronts.
4. I am now training a Great Horned Owl named Merlin at the rehab center.

Tv fannish COOL!
Writing out your answers sounds like a totally great idea. It'll make it much easier to remember them without panicking. ;)
Training him for what?

The last few interviews I've made sure to take a notepad with information that I shouldn't forget. But I'm going the next step this next time and just writing the answers to questions like "why should we hire you?"
Merlin needs just basic training anyway (taking food from me, stepping up on a glove). But if he does well, this could also mean he could go out and do programs with the public.

I hate that question--because I need the job! isn't acceptable...
Oh, now that would be completely cool!
