All the best Swirly, Interviews can be the pits..
but pray tell me what is an Ivist? and how do you become an Arch Ivist??? is there a sort of basic grade ivist? and then you become a senior ivist? or is it a deputy senior ivist? what are the different grades? I think we should be told!!

Well okay then I'll be an archivologist...how's that...

I'd like to be an ivist though...not many people are ivists...

I think ivists are people who visit things but are a bit dyslexic...

thus archivists visist arches...

Good luck! I'm off tomorrow to do the same. Sadly, working a renfaire based folk band really doesn't pull in the money that it takes to live...

Temp agencies ahoy!

You don't need luck to get a place on an MA, you need money...

Lyndi-loo, is your friend going to Russia, cos apparently they interviewed one candidate last week or so who was off there and I was the first of the official interview day people?

It was all awful anyway...not sure how I did but think it was bad...we'll see, maybe they'll be desperate for people this year!!!

And who is wierder than you EJ??!! I've seen the inside of your mind!!

Good luck with the interview, swirly. You realize that one anagram of "Archivist M.A" is "trivia chasm" ?

not sure that I'm a chasm but maybe some sort of minor gorge...

I think an Ivist is someone who categorizes kinds of Ivy. Or maybe keeps track of Ivans...or Burl songs. In any case it is a Good Thing to Be...

My interview was awful cos they asked me lots of unfair questions that even fully fledged archivists coudn't be expected to answer on the spot...

...so I'm not sure how it went...I'll let you all know in a couple of weeks.

EJ says I can go and live in sin with him for a year and reapply so I'm not stuck for options!
