Embarrasing Gaff #2

[ladymirth]

See? I was right. The fun continues.

My prospective emplyer blew up at me when I called to tell her I was coming to see her today. "Aney darling, don't call just come!" she snapped (never trust a person who calls you 'darling' while snapping at you). Um, she told me to call when I was coming? And then she texts me not to call her again because she is a very busy person and maybe I can work somewhere else! 

It's not exactly a dream opportunity lost, because it was just a freelancing job at one of those snooty society magazines that covers rich women's extravagant tea parties, but one of my Dad's friends set up the interview for me, and Dad wanted me to give it a shot. So now he's going to be pissed. Joy. 

11.30 am. Wonder what other debacles today will bring. 

Also, I am feeling the consequences of restarting going to gym with a full-scale workout after three and a half months of sickness and inactivity. I feel like I was run over by a freight train. Ouch.

Ouch.

Well, maybe you should come in, apologize for the misunderstanding, and see if you can patch things up.

Or maybe you can find something better suited to you.

Good luck. And hope the rest of the day turns out better. :)

One of her secretaries called me a couple of days later and told me that I was welcome to come and work there without speaking to Miss Biatch. I suppose she felt sorry for me, or felt bad since it was one of Dad's friends who recommended me. I politely decilned. I'd like to work at a place that selects me on my own merit and not because my Dad's friends pulled strings.

Oh man. What a bitch. I'm glad you won't be working for her.

I am too. My boss is much nicer and less self-important. I guess all bad things happen to led toward a pleasanter outcome.

Hey! I wandered over from un_sedentary's Livejournal, and saw the Draco/Harry manip on your profile you said you didn't know who to credit. Thought I'd help you out. :) There are quite a few people in fandom having problems crediting her work.

On LJ, she's known as eneada. I would recommend very highly visiting her Slash Gallery (http://eneadart.narod.ru/main1.html) (where this art is from), as she has tons of amazing manips just like that. :)

Thank you for both the info and the link! Will credit right away. =)

Ugh what how contradictory was that. Maybe she will realise her mistake later if you go see her...
