I´ve just spent too much time cutting two songs short. Gha. I also went for a massage today. My back is very happy with me. And I ironed, made name tags for 61 people (my sis has great skills with scissors) and . . . yeah those two songs were pain.
I might have an interview in over a week. Ironically enough, it´s a Slovak Law firm. Ehm Slovak law? really. I mean REALLY! (yes, it was me who applied and said something about being able to perform equally well in Slovak legal system in my motivation letter.)
I applied for a job in Brno that would be kind of interesting and almost entirely in French. Please, please, interview. After I applied, I found out (kind of by chance) the selection process is run by a person who I met when translating for "my Americans" a year ago. He gave me his business card, in case "he can be of some help" back then. He saw me perform (translating a lecture and following discussion between my Americans and a Supreme court judge from English to Czech and vice versa for almost 3 hours.) The thing is, someone would probably write to him now, reminding oneself in some way but I can´t do these things. Be like, hey I´m applying for this job, do you remember me? I cringe when thinking about it and don´t know how to do it. It sucks. If they call me for an interview, that would be good, I could (in a way) work it there.
My friend also send me a job opening add with ICC. It´s kind of something I REALLY REALLY want to do. IN PARIS! FOR ARBITRATION COURT! UGH! If someone has tips for writing awesome covering letters that will blow people´s minds, let me know. Also a serious question. When you apply by an email and you are asked for covering letter, do you attach it in a separate attachment or do you write it into the body of an email?
That got long.
I was lazy to post pictures yesterday, but here be a process of prettying up and finishing our sweets and cakes.
yes, a cake for a fifty years old man is pink. we are cool like that.
there were two loads of these and I dipped the second one, I had my fingers and hand dripping with chocolate.
I´m not showing you the cakes and sweets that we did not bake (some of them will arrive only with the guests) but the amount is crazy. I still wonder what will be left. The sugar overload will be insane. I´m a driver tomorrow though, so no alcohol past the cheers at the beginning for me. Dealing with my family completely sober. With 60 pieces of them. And folk music. Let´s pretend I can do this. In high heels and with class.

Date: 2010-10-01 09:43 pm (UTC)So I always attach the cover letter and just hit the main points in the email (school, degree, cover letter and resume attached), but that is for the market here. . . . I have no idea how to write an awesome, mind-blowing cover letter though. I am however confused at ICC combined with both arbitration and Paris (I don't know that much about it, but), or is it not the International Criminal Court?

Date: 2010-10-01 09:59 pm (UTC)International Chamber of Commerce. Sorry I always forget about the other one. There is also International Cricket C(something) according to the former ICC Arbitration Court President.
Anyway I was thinking. The deadline for the ICC job application is on Monday. And I know you´ll be totally dead tired, but if I write it up, will you look at it? Or more like I need to talk about this with someone who has done something like this before and idk has maybe a different opinion than people around me that has been guessing just as much as I am all the time . . .

Date: 2010-10-01 10:37 pm (UTC)Of course I will look at it and talk about it with you, though I can't guarantee quality insights.

Date: 2010-10-01 11:16 pm (UTC)I find you amazing being your age and already so skillfull!
I wish you find your own happiness in work and social life, and I'm sure the future will bring you more hardship but always followed by success. One can't go without the other one.
I cross my fingers so that you get the perfect job for what you need and want right now, and I'm still so jealous of your baking skills!
You shall be a very good women model. Working and housewife together

<3 I really do hope I can fight my way to some good job and decent life ;D
and rofl at the housewife thing. you need a house and a husband for hat and I don´t see any of that happening any time soon.

Date: 2010-10-03 12:20 pm (UTC)First - omg, I hope it works out for you!!!
Working in Paris sounds awesome. D:
The pink cake is awesome, too.
I'd be uber-happy to have one like that.
And I hate pink, you know.
And all the sweets look amazing~
I hope you really managed to survive it... Because it sounds inhumane. XD
And next time you need to edit some music, just let me know (if you're not in a hurry and can wait for a few days until I find it in my mail), I've got some pro software for editing sounds /mastering music - that I am also able to operate. xD

lol lol Pink cake tastes super good, which is why we make it and what is the most important I think.
<3
I did survive, my feet and brain . . . are ruling on that at the moment.
I had no time frankly and I needed it to fit time of picture slide show, well it´s done now so . . .
