Still no job, still single, still everything (which includes the other kinds of "still", i.e. still healthy, still have a roof over my head, still extremely well-fed, etc.).
I had a second-level job interview today...for a video game company! Like my first interview, however, I found out very little about the position, salary, if there were any other employees who spoke English or would I be the first, benefits, etc.. The good news is, if I do get the job I won't start until January, which means I can go home for Christmas.
The bad news is that they will let me know if I got it or not...in 3 weeks.
This puts me in a bit of a quandary. Should I wait until I find out, then HOPE to find a flight home? Should I just not risk it? Obviously, I'll keep looking for work while I wait, but what to do about the holiday?
A tiny voice in my head says: "What! Go! Fly home for the holidays! You haven't been since Easter! Just charge it! You're not going to be unemployed for long!"
A slightly louder voice says: "You won't get this job, or the next, or the next. You will end up at another crap job that does an even worse job at paying the bills than your previous job. You can't afford it, or the new computer you want, either. Heh heh heh. Just saying."
They are both drowned out by a very loud male and female voice, shouting "you buy that ticket and ve'll kill you. You vill not have a very good time if we kill you" in comically exaggerated Russian accents.
My sister advised me to go anyway, but she does not always advise what's best for me.
Have I mentioned, by the way, how many fricken people I have been running into? A couple of weeks ago I saw a guy at a party who was in my class in high school. HIGH SCHOOL, for Pete's sake. The following week I saw this girl who I acted in a couple of plays in with...six years ago.
I think I need to go back to Japan...
