SO many things!

1. First off - I have a job! Eeeee! I had three interviews on Thurs and Friday and I was called with an offer on Friday afternoon. It's a grade higher than I've had before (same pay, sadly), but it's with the county council working in their social care operational support team. Woohooooo!

I think I might get offered another one - they specifically called me for an interview because they work with a lot of American ex-pats and well, I am an American ex-pat (although I don't really call myself that). Weird thing though, during the interview they asked if I was okay working some late nights here an there for events and possible trips to London. I said, sure, because I'm pretty flexible.

The guy then actually asked, 'So, you don't have children?'

Um. I didn't think you could ASK that question! I almost said, 'If I was a dude, would you be asking me this question?'

Very weird. The job sounds cool a part from that part, though. It's only maternity cover, whereas the other is permanent.

2. I saw the house we'll be sharing and it's really nice. Our room is pretty big and the kitchen is big enough for a couple of people to cook at the same time. We're surrounded by orchards! Free fruit!

3. I'm really enjoying From Dusk till Dawn: the series. Please watch this with me, y'all. I've already dragged [livejournal.com profile] fringedweller into it. Hot dudes in suits, vampires, South American myths, ladies being awesome, although there could be more ladies being awesome. It's kinda fun. There's also a kinkmeme.

4. I'm on my own whilst le husband is down south and I'm finishing off my notice at work. I've started the epic Life re-watch that I've been wanting to do for a couple of years now. Yays! [livejournal.com profile] aj, get ready for me to fling feels at you.

5. I don't really have a five, I'm just coasting with relief at the moment!

Have a lovely Sunday!!!! ♥

It really is illegal for him to ask you that, and no, he wouldn't have asked a man that. I can only hope he encounters an uncovered man-hole as soon as possible.

I am now up to date on From Dusk Till Dawn. I also sort of hate you. (Not really!). Weird thing is, I had seen the man that plays Seth in something says before I started watching and I completely failed to make the connection. Which is weird, because rawr. Rawr, I say.

While on you own, definitely catch up on NCIS LA. So much Densi bittersweetness! And watch Agents of Shield. many cool ladies, including Sif. It does dip in the middle, I won't lie, but it ends AMAZINGLY. And there's a killer line in the finale that I just love to pieces and want to crow with someone about. Loads of killer lines, actually, but one in particular.

I know it's not legal for them to ask it in the states for sure! Sheesh.

Congratulations!!
And yeah - the kids question is not on.
Free fruit is always good. What kind?

Thanks for the good wishes - hope you enjoyed all of your Sunday! :)

YAY, JOB. Boo, not extra pay, but JOB. HORRAY! And omg, free fruit! The Parents are already making plans about their fruit yield this year as they got floated out on a tide of fruit last year. I'll poke for extra recipes and whatnot if you're interested.

Also, oh, man. LIIIIIIIIFE. That show wrecked my dumb face. I rewatched when I went to CO a few years ago, but should probably poke it again. MY HEART.
