Good bye, Title Insurance -- Hello, Future
by leaffin at 08:21 PM on September 01, 2005
Yesterday, after 1 1/2 months of no word, I got some exciting news. It's not something I can jump up and down about just yet, but it could definitely change my life as I know it. I have a phone interview. With some folks who might hire me to do my dream job: be a tour guide in Central and South America.
How awesome is that? I'd get paid to go places I've both already been to and love or where I've always wanted to explore and never had the opportunity. Granted, I'd have to deal with some asshole tourists every now and again, and I'm sure that annoying things would happen on the road like flat tires and puking passengers, but I think I could deal. The positives woudl outweight the negatives for me. I can hardly wait for the interview, and I hope they like what they hear. If so, I could be off for training in Peru as soon as October! Adios title insurance job!

So will you be offering a full service tour package???

Oh, I thought you were going to say your were pregnant. Getting paid to travel is nice too though.
LTL: Even if she isn't offering full service, I'm sure she'll let you imagine she would.

Yeah, Leaf is such a tease. Now, about that night on the beach?

Wow, pregnant. That's some news I hope I don't hear in the next 5 years.
Sorry to disappoint, but on my tours, you're going to have to rough it and take things into your own hands. It's all about getting to know local culture and customs. However, I know of this great massage parlor in this alley in that one town.....
Anna, I never promised you anything of the sort! :::batting eyelashes:::

Yes you did.

Update: Phone interview went very well today. So well that they want to interview me in person! Unfortunately, the smallish Canadian company doesn't just happen to have an office in Madison, so I'm either going to have to fly to Toronto for the interview or hope someone comes within shouting distance of Wisconsin.
I'm very excited and am trying not to be overly optomistic here, but everyone who knows me says they would be crazy not to hire me. We'll see about that, and hopefully I'll be jetting off to Peru in mid-October for training!
