I had my first scam interview yesterday. Apparently these are pretty common because my fiance attended one last year while he was looking for a job. The company I was asked to interview for was Global Solutions, but it turns out that the actual company is called Liquidity International, and Global Solutions is the name of their Austin office.

Ugh, I really should be updating my crappy Japanese journal, eiennihongo, but I've been so lazy lately. I need to keep up my Japanese skills, though. Chances are I'll be getting a job/internship in marketing or sales, so I need to go to extra lengths to avoid forgetting that thing I got my degree in. ;) I'm not too upset about not immediately landing a ( Read more... )

I watch FOX for Seinfeld, the Simpsons, and such; PBS for their wonderful but narrow selection of ( Read more... )

Yeesh, my foot got run over two days before A-Kon. There I was, walking to the library, minding my own business, when a woman in a huge black truck pulls out in front of me and runs over my foot! (I had a walk sign AND right-of-way as a pedestrian.) The bitch that hit me left the scene of the accident without giving me any of her information after ( Read more... )

Well, I finally graduated with my BA in Japanese. Now on to finding a job. Yay. I've put in applications at a few places, and I posted on MO's Board asking for advice from some of the seasoned translators there. Specifically Tomato, who (last I knew) works for Funmation. Most of the people on the board are either students or freelance ( Read more... )

I stole this neat quiz from a random journal. It's supposed to test your grasp of the English language. I think I did pretty well. ^^
