*cries* Mean person said they didn't think their customers would be comfortable with me cos I sounded formal and awkward in my French.

*cries more*

There's a difference between being comfortable and being rude!

Bande de cons. *shakes head*

I didn't get the job at Scholastic, either -- and I'm sure that's because they want a speaker of perfect Quebecois (which I am not). Actually, I almost made the MOST TERRIBLE BLUNDER right in the middle of the interview. The lady had been talking about les romains a lot, and I was about to ask her why I should have to deal with Romans, when all of a sudden reality hit me on the head: she wasn't saying Romains, she was saying Romans (novels) with a heavy Quebec accent. Whoops. :D

Remember that post I made about some people from Quebec hating me on sight cos I was French? You met one of those; they're the worst assholes. Sorry, sweetheart.

I supposed I had not gotten the job at Scholastic, because they had never called me back.

But then they just did, 10 minutes ago: the job is mine if I want it *flails* WAH DECISION TIME! (but am still proud I got it)

:D It's a huge ego boost, I have to say!

I have just sent an email to decline, alas. It's just -- financially it doesn't work that well, and they want me to start NOW. And these are my last months before both girls are in school full time, and I want to spend that time with them. So.

Also, most of the money would be used to pay for childcare, so it doesn't really make sense.

It's not like I don't have any work, anyways. But I have to say, I would have liked the opportunity to kick my current boss in the butt with a resounding "yo! look at me! I'm G.O.N.E. Gone, baby!" But. There's what you'd like to do. And then there are priorities *looks fondly at her girls* Time is so precious, I want to make the most of it.

Congratulations on your book coming out *g* I, hum, I haven't ordered my copy yet cos your financee kinda said you would give me a Special Signed Copy *sheepish grin* Do you get Special Copies, or is it best if I do order one, and then send it over to Get Signed?
