:: "The future is bright.."
"The future is orange." Rather a daft line from the Orange telephone company, but one to live by anyway. Or one by Philips Electronics: "Let's make things better." Why am I talking in one-liners? Because these are from the late nineties, when everything was bright and getting better. And guess what's up now.
I got two job interviews next Tuesday in Amsterdam, for helpdesk jobs. The salaries would be at 1400 to 1850 euros a month (decent, finally!) and I got the interviews through an agency based in the UK. Which in itself is a very good sign: for the past four years, all good jobs I got, I got via the UK. If I get either job, I could start the next day. That'd be Wednesday. If I don't go to Amsterdam to work that day, I'll go there for another job interview, a third one! Also a customer support role at decent pay. Fingers crossed, I'll be in Amsterdam on Thursday and Friday too then. It'd be about time for a good job!
On another front: Last week Thursday I walked 40 kilometers in the international Nijmegen 4-day marches. Next year, my father and I will walk 4 times 50 kilometers. And I will wear a Scots kilt, doing so. Hehe! It was fun on Thursday and it went very very well. My father had a beautiful ex-colleague with him, who also walked with a spring in her step. So we got there fast and smooth. Excellent.
Then on Saturday (aye, I'll recap an entire week now I'm online fir a while) I visited a party, as my father's girlfriend celebrated her birthday. It was great and I met my father's girlfriend's daughter again. She's almost like a sister whenever I see her, but unfortunately I don't see her that often.
Today, Monday, I got my Edinburgh accent back while speaking to the job agency on the phone. It bodes well fir taemerra. Whoops. Tomorrow. Also I sent a flirtatious e-mail to a girl I met at work 2 months ago. Weird, yes, but I got fired before I could ask her out and since then wondered how to get in touch with her. Fingers crossed she won't be cross. No 'Delivery Failure' in my mail now so I know she'll be reading it this afternoon. More good news to come then, or so I hope.
