yesterday was a super day! i interviewed with the historic Harrison Gray Otis House, and i think it went really well. SPNEA runs i think most of the historic houses in new england, and i met with the regional director of southeast new england and the head guide for the Otis House. they were both really nice, and the first thing the regional director said when we all sat down was that it seemed like what i did at blandwood is almost exactly what they're looking for. i thought pretty much the same thing when i read the ad. after the more formal interview part, anya, the head guide, took me through the house so i could get a feel for the house and the family and stuff, and it was really fun. i like her a lot, and i like the house a lot. it's really beautiful with some great history to it, some good stories, and it's been restored so nicely. i really want this job. i'm excited about it--hopefully i'll hear from them on monday or tuesday about it.
and after the interview, i decided to take a different way home--jorn and i had gotten off at Charles/MGH on the red line to get there, but the house was also supposed to be close to the government center green line stop, so i decided to see if i could find my way there. and so i was walking up cambridge street, and suddenly i thought, wow! i know where i am! it's the first time that's happened in boston, that i've started in one place and ended up somewhere else. so i was all excited and had a nice "yay boston" moment. which was a lot more exhilerating than a "whatthefuck, greensboro?" moment, let me tell you.
anyway, i'm still tired, though i'm feeling better now than i was when i first got home. jorn and i were talking about going out for a "date" tonight, but by general consensus we've decided that our date is going consist of chinese delivery and angel dvds instead of dinner and a movie. teh.
on the agenda for this weekend: battistini and steve are coming to town on saturday night, maybe around 6 or 7, and we're going to get some food, and they're spending the night here, and on sunday we're going with some of sarah's work friends to the boston folk festival. should be lots of fun.
