So, I've been applying for jobs here in Japan. My current contract is up at the end of the month, and then I'll be in Austria on vacation, and back in Japan just a few days before my work visa expires -- stupid one year visa.

Have gone to one interview so far, though I haven't heard back from them in a while, and I'm in communication with/have interviews scheduled for three other positions. Some of them are eikaiwa schools, while others are ALT placement companies. To be honest, the ALT jobs look more enticing, but I'm nervous about learning a whole new job style and facing large classrooms. Ack. Pay-wise, there's this part-time ALT position that pays more for 15 days a month than I get now, which would be nice, but it means working at a high school. And I'm barely out of school myself. And did I mention the class sizes?

Anyway. That's my excuse for not posting for a while. I have found a few more tentacle recs to add, and I'll eventually start my next rec list, for either domestic!WAFF fic or epic-length recs (by my definition, which is usually a minimum of eighty thousand words -- I read really effing fast). I tend to be a lurker in fandom, and I'm trying to change that. Sigh.
