Good news X 2

This afternoon (1:44 pm to be precise) I got an e-mail inviting me for an interview for a job I had applied for in London. The interview is at 2 p.m. next Friday. One week away. I will receive a writing assignment at 5pm on Thursday (my birthday) that will be due at 9 a.m. the next day. Wow.

So I go online to try to find a cheap fare to London. No can do. You can usually get a round trip for less than 50 pounds, provided you don’t take the most popular flight times. I was getting fares more in the 150-200 range, which is a bit steep for an interview. They agreed to let me interview by Skype. Whew.

In another positive development, I got a Biometric Residence Permit, which looks like a driver’s license. This means my visa has been approved!!!! Such a sense of relief. I’d hate to have to leave the country with a few weeks notice.
