So far, civilian life is pretty laid back.
I am unemployed, relaxed and get up at around 11 am each morning to a day full of recreational activities with and without my amazing girlfriend, and while spending my time with Michal is amazing and really gives me something to look forward to when I wake up, I think it's safe to say that I am getting a leeeeeeeetle restless.
So what about getting a job, you ask. Good question!
On the day I was discharged I interviewed for a job at what looks like a fun and promising start-up company. The job offered was pretty far from being dreamy, but the pay was supposed to be good and the environment looked like I could fit in easily.
As can be deducted from the earlier paragraph, I got the job but soon found myself drowning in work so I had no choice but to stab my boss in the face with a spork several times and set the offices on fire.
Wait.
I wasn't accepted because a more attractive candidate came along.
(A person I would very much like to meet one day. Seriously. More attractive than me?)
Anyway, after that happened, I decided to just drop everything and fly to the states for a month or so.
I've been wanting to fly to the states for quite some time and now that I am no longer under the army's rule I can just go without pre-arranging everything and being stressed for time.
Shortly after making this decision (and also choosing my academic future---I am going to study marine biology, an almost life-long dream of mine) I got a phone call from a friend's previous boss asking me if I'd be interested in a 5 day gig as an instructor in an RPG summer camp (World of Darkness meets Zealazny's Amber Chronicles) that pays quite well.
I jumped on the opportunity, as the payment would help me with my trip and savings, and am going to be watching something like 22 geeky kids as they pee in swimming pools and troll for XP under fluorescent lights at the end of the month.
Temporarily reassured about my immediate financial future I got back to boring my surroundings with my flight plans when earlier today I got a phone call from some other friend's boss asking me if I'd be interested in a job at some sort of computer hardware factory near my home.
Seriously, it feels like jobs are practically pushed into my hands. In this economy.
So I have a job interview this coming monday, aaaand, if I'm accepted, I'll have to hurry up with my trip as they'd want me to start work sometime in september.
So!
I am coming to America, passing through London, sometime in the next two months!
The plan for the trip is as follows;
I shall arrive in London and spend a day or two there, after which I will fly to San Fransisco and the Bay Area, where I would like to spend at LEAST three or four days.
From there, I will fly off to Dallas, Texas and hopefully meet many LJers whom I've been in contact with for years in person.
After that, I'll fly to New Orleans and spend something like a week, maybe less, there.
After that, it's off to New York City with me, where I plan on spending a week also and then return home to the loving embrace of my fellow Israeli countrymen.
IF! YOU! WOULD! BE! INTERESTED! IN! MEETING! UP! WHILE! I! AM! AT! ANY! ONE! OF! THESE! DESTINATIONS!
TELL ME!
Leave a comment,
email, message, pigeon, whatever,
but LET ME KNOW.
I do not know when or if I will ever make such a comprehensive trip across the American Continent again and it would be a shame to miss you.
See you there!
