Note To Self: ALWAYS Double-Check Your Directions

[crossover_chick]

So yeah, the whole job appointment thing didn't get off to a great start -- I thought the place I was aiming for connected to a different street than it did (specifically the one IN FRONT OF Providence Place Mall, not BEHIND it), and had to turn myself around a couple of times before I made it to where I was going. Fortunately everyone there was very nice, and the appointment there went very well. Filled out a lot of paperwork regarding going to work for them and for their client companies, keeping information confidential, understanding that I'll need to submit info for a background check if necessary, all that good stuff. Then I had a meeting with the woman in charge, we went over my resume, and -- and! -- she said that she already had something in mind for me -- a position in the mailroom at Brown University! It's entry level stuff and involves a lot of sorting boxes, but damn it, paying work! So here's hoping that will pan out. (And will justify the blisters I got wandering around today -- ow.)

After that was done, I spent some time at the mall -- had Subway for lunch, then put some charge on my D&B Powercard to play a few games. Then it was time to go back home and change out of my sweaty clothes (seriously, hot today), fill out some online stuff, and check in on DragonVale. A last-minute buying of a Giant habitat snagged me the Twilight Tower -- and they were kind enough to round up the 6 fireflies I had left over into two gems instead of just one. I also got the Gloaming Stone, their "thanks for playing" prize. Still kind of annoyed over the whole "we're not going to be clear on when exactly things end" issue, but I got everything I wanted, at least. Now it's time to decorate my new island and get back to restoring my food supply (massively depleted in my desire to get a Ruby).

No Hearthstone or fic updates today -- I've just been catching up on stuff I've missed and relaxing. Tomorrow we'll see how the job thing progresses. And next week I may be doing overnights at the housesitting gig so we'll see how that goes too. Right now, I'm going to see if I have it in me for even a quick round of RP replies. Later!

I might not have had to spend the 99 cents in hindsight, but what's done is done. I'm just glad that fiasco is over.

Something new is coming according to their Facebook. They say "go out on a limb" so I'm assuming another(!) Plant hybrid. The silhouette kind of looks like a bush or something.

Jimmy won a Gold and Boone is in Air.

In trying for a Cyclops Twitch and Gurgle have decided to grace me with another Electrum Dragon. And no luck on the Gold yet either. The Dream should hatch tonight finally. The Dream came with the name Teddy but as an in joke to myself I named him Aislin (means dream in Celtic/Gaelic) after my unicorn that I named way back when BabyNames.com said it was a boy name and not a girl. :p

I just looked at the Gemstone Island and I seriously don't think Raths has left that pool...well, I'm glad he's happy.

So yeah, that's about it.

Edit: Leaf Dragon, limited Seasonal. Plant+ Water+ Light.

At least it was only 99 cents, and assured you the tower. *patpat* Me too -- events are interesting, but the stress they put on you for collecting almost isn't worth it.

I was gonna say "ANOTHER one?!" but a new Seasonal dragon isn't unwelcome at all. :) *starts work on it* I guess they're just trying to involve the Lights and Darks more in making new dragons now.

Narcissus won a Gold, I've got Attar in Air.

Sheesh, you're almost as Electrum-heavy as I was last month. I approve of the name for the Dream, though. :D And aww, that's so cute! Makes me want to upgrade my island more too -- but I think I'll hold off until my Gem supply is rebuilt.
