On another note...
Jul. 3rd, 2006 08:02 pmDecision is pretty much made: if the job with the Commission on Human Rights hasn't come through by next week, I'm going to take the Athens internship. I've got proxies in Europe now looking for a place where I'll be able to live in Athens while I'm working there; already I can tell that the travel is going to be a bit of a hassle, because this time I'm not just packing for a vacation. (For example, this will be the first time I've got to take my two suits overseas with me.)
One thing I'm hoping for is that I'll be able to continue the Stateside job hunt while I'm over there; obviously, interviews are not practical, but I asked if I could get information on getting a stable Internet connection there, so I can keep track with email and Web (and, incidentally, keep up with my f-list on LJ. My life is sad and pathetic).
I assume I'll have a telephone there; if so, my intention is to forward my Skype number there, which means that if one were to call my number in New York, my telephone in Athens would ring. (It costs me a bit, about two cents a minunte. Those who call my New York number won't be paying international rates, unless you're outside the US of A.) Those of you who have that number, I expect you to use it, and will be very put out if you don't; those of you who don't have the number, ask for it.
