I still don't know

[rivendellrose]

Regarding the possible!job: Scheduling got messed up, the first round of interviews hasn't finished, I'm still on the pile that's under consideration, and I should know more sometime next week.

So basically, I've been on eggshells all week for no reason at all. It occurs to me that I really ought to be sending out more resumes and looking into other possibilities. *Sighs*

Also, my neck really fucking hurts. I've had muscle-tension like whoa this week, for no reason that I can particularly discern. Although it does always seem to get worse when I'm having sinus problems. Knowing that, I'm going to go drink a bunch of tea in hopes of it calming down a little, and contemplate whether or not I really feel up to contra dancing tonight. I'm tired, and I feel kind of "ugh" about it after getting at the dance last week.

There is NOTHING worse than waiting for something like that. I feel for you.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'm just sooooooo crossing my fingers on this stupid thing.

[reve-lucide.livejournal.com]

Whoa sexy new icon!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Why thank you!

[reve-lucide.livejournal.com]

Really. It is lovely. Her hair and the brush and the coloring ... I still haven't made any XF icons yet.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Awww, thanks! I really can't take too much credit for the colors - the original photo for this one was a fabulously colored shot from some fashion mag - you know how they love to overplay her hair. I just tweaked it some so her skin stood out more. But it was waaaay too much fun to do.

[reve-lucide.livejournal.com]

Well. either way, it's a lovely icon. Makes me want to do a GIS for Mulder pics now. :p

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

You should. The world needs more Mulder pics, especially of the well-done variety, which you would totally do.

Whoa, I love that icon!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks!

I got your letter yesterday; thanks so much for writing! Did you have fun?

[narsilion.livejournal.com]

very silly letter! We were tipsy when letter was written.
We had a very wonderful time. I wasn't ready to come home, but alas and alack real life happens!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

I wondered if that wasn't the case. ;)

Cute icon!

It couldn't hurt to keep pursuing other leads. I do hope you get this one, but it's never a bad idea to keep the job search going on other fronts too.

I hope the neck pain stops too.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I know. I've been kind of embarassed at not doing it, but there was a little bit of reason (beyond me hating the whole job-hunt thing) - I kept finding places that were all "oh, you're still in school! No, that won't work with our schedule, we need someone ASAP!" So... waiting. But now that it's 2 weeks away (*cue panic*) I'm probably fairly safe from that. :P

Thanks. I'm contemplating my hot-pad, maybe a little heat'll make it better.

[hoperomantic.livejournal.com]

With neck thing, you actually might wanna try heat and cold alternately, sometimes that helps better than just one or the other?

I feel for you with the waiting thing. Good luck with the job hunt. I hope it all turns out okay and doesn't suck too much.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Hmm, maybe... I'm always leery of cold treatment, had an awful experience with icing my arm, once, when the cold got to the point where it hurt almost as much as the wound I was icing. :P

Thanks. I'm fairly confident - one of my old profs has offered to set me up with a few contacts, even, so hopefully I'll have enough opportunities to find something worthwhile. *Crosses fingers*

Oh god - I am in love with your icon!

[stormkpr.livejournal.com]

Thanks - it was made by angelite.

[coralia13.livejournal.com]

Ahhhh! Good luck with the job, and I hope allergies or illness or stress departs and lets your neck relax some. Tea and TV watching in a comfortable position sound in order!

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Thanks! The allergies are still kind of hanging around, and the neck is... eh. I think it's got something to do with the allergies, too; my neck always feels stiff when my allergies are acting up. Weeeeird combination of symptoms, but there it is.

Tea is definitely in order. TV is possibly so - I might have to watch a movie tonight or something, since I forgot to pick up the Buffy DVDs on Friday.

[coralia13.livejournal.com]

I'd love to hear what you think whenever you get a chance to watch them! Ah, my old fandom. Talking about it in your other post led me to dig out my season 2 DVDs and watch four episodes in one sitting. Yes, it is that good.

[rivendellrose.livejournal.com]

Sounds like fun! I've seen bits and pieces - "Once More With Feeling" several times, and I have the soundtrack, and then a few normal episodes, none of which left a terribly strong impression on me. But I've heard enough good things about it that I'm really looking forward to seeing the whole thing.
