Timing, Timing, Timing....

So we just got a call from a Japanese aquaintence with a job offer. Gadmmit! She was kinda my boss a few years back when I worked at bar, and now she works for a pretty decent international company here in town.

They're looking for an interpreter/translater to deal with all the overseas branches and guests that come. I got a double recommendation to get the job, as there's this Austrian bloke in town now on a 6 month transfer. He'll go back to Austria for a couple months and comes back in January. Anyway, have bumped into him and Risa at a yakitori place I like a couple times, have chatted with him and he has seen me chatting in J, so he first threw in my name for the job and then Risa backed the idea, as she know better than him what level my J is.

As it stands, though, I've just started a new job that I like, and couldn't leave them in the winds. Gonna respect this contract, unlike I did at my last job... If only they'd called me in the summer... Did drop the line that I would like to enter a company at some point in the future, so to try me again should anything pop up.

Plus side though, feels pretty damned good to be contacted for a job I didn't apply for. Reputation is starting to get ahead of me, where is exactly where it should be.

Good line from a not so good movie.
