thewordnerd: Hey, how goes?
evile: hi. Not bad. How's with you?
thewordnerd: Eh, not too bad. Decided to take a day-long break from the
search since things seem to be going well, and I'm kinda sick of
looking at website after website anyway. :)
evile: cool. When is your in-person interview?
thewordnerd: I'm writing an email to schedule it. Either next Thursday or
Friday. Elise is offering me a ride on Friday, so if she's serious
about it then I might take her up on it to spare the frustrations of
STS. They've been calling me the night before scheduled rides and
changing times, which really makes me nervous about working with them
for something like an interview where I have to be there on time.
evile: yeah. that would be nerve wracking.
thewordnerd: . . . which makes no sense to me. If I've called and scheduled
3-4 days in advance then I can't think of why I'd need to have that
changed the night before. Either they gave away the slot which I
specifically called in advance for, or they gave me someone else's.
Last time they bumped pick-up 45 minutes ahead, which still meant
that I was getting there early, but it was cut very very close,
especially as the driver was late.
evile: yeah. that sucks!
thewordnerd: So, is the Church of Tube worshipping this weekend? Might
actually be willing to partake if so; I'm becoming less and less
worried about my finances as these various job things become more
certain.
evile: I am not sure yet. Sweetie will be out of town. I will keep you
posted :)
thewordnerd: Ah, all righty. I think I'd definitely like to join you guys
regularly, though, as it really sounds fun.
evile: it is fun. April (ample on LJ) was talking about organizing
the tubing trip for July 10. I am waiting to see what she comes up
with.
thewordnerd: How much were the tubes that you saw last weekend at Academy,
BTW? I'd really like to buy a pool float, because the pool is really
too shallow to swim in, so if I do go regularly then it may make
sense to buy a tube and have it serve double duty.
evile: they varied. The one I want is about $25
thewordnerd: Oh, that isn't too bad. Was that higher-end, mid-range or . . .
evile: No clue. I wasn't really paying attention to the prices of the
ones I didn't want.
thewordnerd: Ah. That isn't too bad, though. The float that I was
considering purchasing cost like $10-$15, so it'd only require an
additional 2-3 rentals to make that worthwhile. Hmmm.
thewordnerd: That is, if I bought a tube instead of the float.
evile: yup, that's pretty much what I'd figured out.
evile: I will definitely need to work in another trip to Academy
before the weekend.
thewordnerd: Sorry, was just sending off emails to ghe ghostwriter woman,
scheduling my interview time and seeing if Elise could get me there.
Back now.
evile: that's cool.
thewordnerd: Think I could tag along? No worries if not, as it certainly
isn't a huge deal or essential or anything. I was just thinking
recently that a float would be awesome for the pool, and now that I
can actually afford one, and ever since you wrote about buying a
tube, I was thinking . . . :)
thewordnerd: I don't really know where the academy is, so it may be way out
of your way to grab me.
evile: I am not sure when I'll have the time, but I'll definitely
call you when I know.
thewordnerd: Ok, sounds good.
