Squee-gasm and Days 2 and 3 of Harry Potter Meme

I just heard word that the Department of Vocational Rehab opened up a position and they asked me come in for an interview!

I can't even begin to describe how much this fills me with glee because not only is it a job in the field I got my Master's in, it's a state job with loads of nifty benefits. It's also the job I've been vying for ever since I found out it existed. If I get it, I'll be working with people who have disabilities and helping them find jobs and stuff. :)

I am a little frustrated that the interview process itself won't be starting until Sept. 10th, but I'm not going to let that get me down.

I'm still going to do the interview with Aprilaire tomorrow though. Might as well have a back-up plan, I say!

02. Your favorite book

While they all have unique things about them that I absolutely adore, I think Order of the Phoenix is my favorite. I loved the introduction to Luna Lovegood, the creation of Dumbledore's Army, the battle at the Ministry of Magic, and the length of the thing (it's still the longest in the series)!

03. What house would you be in?

I think I'm nerdy and intelligent enough to be in Ravenclaw, but my affiliation has always been to the house of Slytherin. I've always seen more to that house than what we're given in the books (i.e. that they're all self-serving and evil.) I see a competitive spirit, passion for coming out on top, a fierce attitude, an ambitious drive, a love for snakes, and an awesome head of house. I know that, although I'm not a braggart, I do secretly get great pleasure out of getting the highest grade on a test or being the top student in a class. Yes, I'm not going to ignore the fact that there is a selfish aspect to the Slytherin house, but I won't hesitate to say that I've been there and done that.
