Second time lucky...

So the law firm I had an interview at last week invited me back to meet two of their partners for a second round interview. I'm scared. Have called them but got voicemail thus so far the exact time and date of this gruelling experience is unknown to me.

I really want this. Really really really want this. Its a nice firm, I immediately felt comfortable, everyone was friendly, they do good work and its not overly ridiculous in the hours department. There is no forced socialising and hanging out with work people outside the office. They have a huge range of practice areas and good clients. I want to work for them. I want them to give me a job.

I'M SCARED!!!!!!!!

Next week I have a friend visiting me the whole week - there will be no time for preparation amidst being at work and entertaining her and showing her the delights of London. Somehow I don't think she would consider interview prep one of those crucial delights... hmmm...

So this will be my weekend.

In other news,

The prospect of being blown to pieces on holiday is a worrying one. The prospect of an 8-hour flight with no book, earplugs, moisturiser, bottled water etc is almost right up there with it. However I would rather not have any of those things if it means that terrorists can't bring their explosives on either. This is one of those situations where the irony is obvious - i could get a TC only to be victim to something like this. I realise the odds are slim (on both counts) and the combined odds even slimmer but I am a Mathematician, I must consider these things. How long until they build a tunnel a la Eurostar to the US?

Way-hey, congratulations!

However, in other news:

I don't see the connect here. Books, earplugs and moisturiser aren't big enough to conceal explosives on (and even if they were are easily searchable) so how comes you are ok with being deprived of the liberty to have them about your person?

LOL the connection is that a lot of other stuff is also being banned that could conceal explosives so the point was a blanket ban is something I can cope with.
