job interview
i got a call just now offering me an interview on thursday with a store in edinburgh called boredom free zone its like a mini forbidden planet....well, in the way that it sell film merchadise but it is really ickle and as ya'll know from previous times i HATE interviews as they make me REALLY nervous and i feel that they never really can tell the interviewer how good a person is at a job so could i ask a favour and say on thursday at 1.30 could you keep your fingers crossed for me? 
Im all bouncey and excited right now but i know tomorra night im gonna be having problems sleeping and getting real edgy.....prolly good thing Evil Lawyer Chick has escaped to edinburgh to study.

good luck.
You can do it!!!
Just practice a bit with questions like: why should we hire you, what bring to job..
also think of some questions to ask at end.

Good luck hon - experience counts for a lot so you should style it... and if it gets stressful just wiggle your toes - it's a great invisible relaxation technique

Well technically i cant cross my fingers at 1.30 tomorrow for you as i have an exam at 1.30 tomorrow so if i cross my fingers i cant write....
I know you'll do great hon...how could they not resist you! Just think of all the staff discount ( i know i am 
) Its convient, as in its in the mall next to the train station, the food court is downstairs for your lunch (although no cookie stands so we dont have to have 'that' conversation. and its not too far away from a certain tour.

Good luck hen,
Sorry I missed you in Edinburgh. I had a fantastic time at the festival, and was almost greetin' (crying) on the train back to London today.
I'm sure you'll get the job = nae bother.

It's tempting to post in Irish dialect to show the folly of amalgamating languages 
Blah I don't need to say anything of substance (as per usual ) you'll kick ass like you *always* do at interviews (2 so far and counting since I've known ya)
You're just all edgy cause you know you can't lie in tomorra Or not as much anyway 
Kickin' ass and takin' names - you already got the guy's name, what's so hard about the rest?

Interview went alright i guess there are only three people working in the store one is on holiday, the one in the store was really nice and friendly and gave me lots of tips and advice on how to win the boss over (mention music as he's in a band, make him laugh as he already thinks you're suitable or you wouldnt have an interview, etc, etc) we went into the food court downstairs and chatted over a coffee which was nice but i really dunno how i did, i'll find out on monday or tuesday.
but to all you lot THANK YOU SOOOOOOO MUCH for the wishes and the fingers crossed. **hugs** to all.
