Update

I've been surprisingly busy these last days, and not so surprisingly stressed and depressed. Even now that I am typing, I would much rather be curled up under my duvet dozing or watching old Doctor Who episodes or reading fanfiction. But I have decided I should be sociable, so I am siting with my grandmother watching a documentary about meercats and updating my journal so you don't all start worrying something happened to me. And I have news. 1 On the Paris job front, I got accepted into the second round of interviews! I had it earlier today. I think it went very well, but on the other hand they are interviewing at least a dozen people so I think the competition is very stiff. Which doesn't bode well. I am good at talking and selling myself and coming across as capable and likeable. But I am not good at ruthlessly pushing myself forward and brazenly telling people that I am the best. Anyway. I have a week or maybe a bit longer to wait for them to finish up all the interviews and decide. I hope there won't be third interview! 2 As for my present job in retail, things are once more up in the air. We have yet another head manager. The last one started out all energetic and optimistic and in about two months he gave up and asked to be transferred to another store. And I still never found out what happened to our first head manager. He was pretty useless anyway. Managers! They all seem to be rather soft if you ask me. The new manager has started of very determined and serious. He really wants to shake things up. He's going to radically change the layout of the store and switch around everyone's jobs and timetables. Hm. He better not make me a salesperson! If he does, he'll be a complete idiot, and that doesn't bode well for the store. Lets see how long he lasts. 3 My sister and her boyfriend found a house! It's house-share with three other people in a cute house with a garden in Wimbledon. The house is nice. The room is very nice, and has its own bathroom. And Wimbledon is rather a nice place too. I am very happy for them. Now all my sister needs is to find a job. Lets hope things work out for us, because things are looking really really bad for Greece. There are days when I feel more afraid for my friends and family back in Greece than I do for my homeless semi-employed self.
