It's official now: I have a job.

[hmpf]

So relieved!

I've sort of known for two weeks, but I just got the final confirmation that I can come in and sign my contract next week.

It's customer service, with an insurance company. Basically, I'll be one of the people you call when you need to report an accident. If I can polish up my French a bit I may be able to work in the international division eventually (which involves exciting tasks such as talking to French car mechanics when an insurance customer's car breaks down in France, etc. :D).

I'll be doing 25 hours per week, in somewhat flexible shifts. It'll be... interesting to see how I'll fit my goldsmithing around that, but I'll work something out. I'll have to.

The only sad thing about this is that I may have to cancel my Worldcon plans - I'm not really sure I'll be able to take time off in August.

Félicitations!

(I, too, am polishing French, so if you want someone to practice with, I'm around on AIM if you use that at all?)

I hope it goes well for you :)

[hmpf]

Je ne sais pas si mon Francais est assez bien pour converser, en ce moment. J'ai oubliée beaucoup! :D And also, I don't use AIM anymore... do you have Skype, though? Anyway, merci beaucoupl :-)

Moi aussi, mais parler avec autres t'aider, peut-etre? (It's certainly helped me to some point*, because some people on tumblr that I follow post in French, and it refreshes my memory a little).

*although that sentence is clunky AND partially wrong, lol.

I do have Skype, but not a valid ID. I need to get off my arse and create one (maybe tonight!) I'll either PM you or post it on my journal when I've decided on one :)
