A rolling stone gathers no moss - apparently
I keep finding jobs I want to apply for in various locations around the world. At the moment I have three projects ongoing (well, ongoing in the sense of being in my head); MS research in Vancouver (current status - still at the e-mailing for forms stage); Forensic Anthropology and body recovery, based in Hawaii but working in Laos/Vietnam/anywhere where American servicemen have been killed in action (current status - e-mailing referees to get references); and last but not least, working on recovery of remains from mass graves in Iraq (current status - thinking seriously about dying, but wanting to go anyway, deadline for applications this Friday).
Looking at these three options (or soon to be two, if we're going to be realistic about my parents letting me go to Iraq) it seems that I should lead a really exciting life. So why is that not reality?!!
Anyway, it's fun applying for all this stuff anyway, and getting excited about where I could possibly be in six months' time. Luckily the MS research and the Hawaii postings have no deadline for applying, so I am not restricted, which is good as I am currently overrun with the most boring job ever; transcribing calls made to mystery shop a place in England and assess them on their telephone service. There are 334 calls waiting to be transcribed in my database; I have done 183. At the rate of 5 per hour. I am going mad. MAD I tell you!!
Today I went to an audition for a 'Glacier Girl' to be in some random series of beer commercials for next year - well I was bored when I saw the advert. In actuality, I got off the bus, walked to the bar, saw that it looked like a bit of a dive and there were lots of old guys playing pool, looked harder and saw lots of obviously-under-25 year old girls in too tight tops looking to impress the "celebrity" judges, got back on the bus and went to Safeway to do my food shopping. I wasn't that bored.
