Up all night, need psychic support

Regrettable Juvenilia

23:19 / 11.08.02

I'm probably going to be up most of the night finishing an application for a job I actually genuinely really want. It's taking me ages because I'm both lazy and a perfectionist (oh, and neurotic...). If I don't get it done in time, I'm going to be officially the crappest person in the world, and hate myself for the foreseeable future... Not only that, if I don't get shortlisted for interview I'm going to run away and join the army or something insane (well, maybe the Peace Corps), because I hate this jobhunting malarkey so much.

Add to this the fact that I'm working a temp job tomorrow and have to go home and change first in the morning (I'm at the SO's place), then jet across London and deliver this application in my lunch break, and I am officially stressed. And it's too damn hot for 1am. So I'd really appreciate any magical vibes, supportive hugs, prayers or whatnot that anyone could send me right now...

Yes, I'm shilling. Sorry.

Lots of hugs, man. Not sure I have the energy to send much positivity in your direction as I'll probably be up all night myself (again) due to food poisoning, or something. Best of luck with the whole job thing though.

I'm going to the worst club on the planet tonight, full of people who don't understand the concept of personal space. But I'm going to dance like my pants are on fire, and I'll send any and all bootilicious vibrations across the pond and into your lap. Break a leg!

I'll send you spaghetti dinner vibes, Flyboy. I'm a big procrastinator too- not going to grad school this semester coz I flaked out and never got around to filling out the forms. Don't be like me! Be like someone who fills out forms on time!!!

Well I just can't sleep (and I really really want to) so I'll try to be all positive and psychic and throw it at you.

And you prolly won't read this 'till it's over and done with, but... well, one more feeding your hopes over here.

Up all night - me too. Best of luck with the job thing, though. Telling you to relax won't do any good until you hear one way or the other, I guess, but try not to get too negative before you know either way; chances are the place will, as exp says, love yr work.

So?! How did it go? Or are you in the pub? If you are, is that a good thing or a bad thing?

Where are you, Superfly?!

I hope you're keeping it together, Bauer. Now listen very carefully and do exactly as I say.

I really hope you're asleep by now... also that you got it all done on time...

Regrettable Juvenilia

11:16 / 13.08.02

Yes, I got it in on time and still managed to be at work and only feel slightly Bauer-ish... Thanks all! Will know by Monday if I've been shortlisted but in meantime have seen other job ads so am feeling less desperate...

Special thanks to Bio - will check that out...

Good luck, good vibes, etc.

As a fellow job-hunter (after six months of happily writing my own stuff, it finally occurred to me that I am actually unemployed and running out of money), I have decided that job hunting is an RPG. Looked at in this light, these situations are hilarious. Given hilarity, I can loosen up and have fun and do better.

When I get to the point where Daddy You Bastard Sir is actually supporting the both of us, I might giggle less -- but you should try looking at it as the RPG it is. What could it hurt?

Now here's more luck and woo-woo energy to wrap up the silliness. A good vibe/RPG sandwich. Yum yum.

Good work, Flyboy. I really hope you get it. Don't forget to sleep occasionally. Good luck and stuff.

Bauer-ish- When you feel as if your day has been filled with the content of a score of such days, but despite being totally knackered and constipated somehow finding the will to carry on, whilst talking in a husky whisper that makes everything sound slightly perverted.
