Happy Obama/EndofBush/Martin Luther King Day!

[fadagaski]

To all America: Congrats!

To the rest of the world: Congrats by proxy!

This day is so symbolic, and memorable, etc etc. It'll be interesting to see what people make of Bush's presidency in 50 years ... and what Obama's presidency will look like from the other side in comparison. I hope he doesn't fuck up too much.

I have fic (two, actually), but as I'm sort of selfish I don't want to post them until the flood of inaugaration posts dies down. Yes, I am just that shallow.

This past weekend I was in Cardiff, which was wet and windy and cold but also nice to see the grandparents again. Despite their differences, and the awkwardness, and all that jazz, they really do love each other. Made me feel all soft and squishy inside. On the way home we were nearly made soft and squishy on the motorway when my car made bizarre noises (due to a bag stuck in the front-right wheel), we almost careened into a Spanish HGV, and then had to emergency break on the last 100 yards of hard shoulder. Fun times. But the car is fine, and nobody died, so it's okay.

One week until I move to Durham, and I have an interview scheduled for the 28th for a position in telesales. I hate the idea of coldcalling, but I'll do just about anything for money. Also have telephone interview with the AA scheduled for Feb 2nd, and there's still ad hoc warehouse work in Sunderland, so I'm hopeful. *FINGERS AND TOES CROSSED LIKE MAD*

:O No one informed me of this momentous day!!!

You must tell me when the next one is planned, k?

[moeshas.livejournal.com]

Oh no! You weren't informed? We planned this on our yahoogroup which was set up for any meetings besides november. you have to check on the nano forum to get an invitation for it (don't know where to get it right now...). We actually plan to meet every month. we'll see when the next one will be. we also had an assignment which belenus gave us... :o)

Ahahaha. I totally fail at social participation. DX

[moeshas.livejournal.com]

Yes, actually you do... ;o) just because there's a tiny piece of water and a few little countries between you and us, you should still be informed... :oP

I'm SO happy you're safe. Even though if you cast your mind back to yesterday's phone convo, it didn't sound as if I was.

*cough*

BUT I AM!

And also GOOD LUCK WITH THE INTERVIEWS!

And if you ever cold call a number that begins with 01623, keep me in MIND. XD

[fadagaski.livejournal.com]

I will cold call you every single day. ^_^

Oh gosh :O I'm glad you're okay. That does not sound like it was much fun at all.

It wasn't all that bad, really. I mean, the Spanish driver very kindly slammed his brakes on to avoid flattening us.
