:(
I have decided that Sunday is the end of the week. Since, y'know, it's Friday and there's still no word from Nice Ice. And they said they would email/call by the end of the week.
So, yes, the end of the week is definitely Sunday. *nods*

Croupiere (m/f)
I mean, really, people? Croupiere?
First of all, since we're in Cro, it should be krupje. (Actually, it should be djelitelj, but fine, whatever.) But if they're insisting on writing it in a foreign language (I'm guessing they were going for English here), they should at least make sure that the word is written correctly. Especially since croupiere is the armour that protects horse's ass. It really irks me when people are so careless that they can't even write a teeny tiny ad without mistakes. And if they're making mistakes, then they should at least be consistent. Because crouppier? Really?
I finally got an email from Mediatranslations. They're keeping my CV and will contact me if/when they need another subtitler. I'm fine with that. Right now I'm really hoping that I'll get that rink job. And I can't believe I'm so excited at the prospect of cleaning (among other things) a skating rink for 2 or 3 months. *smh*

Vague much?
There's this ad. Some firm needs help in (at?) their (the?) showroom (whatever that is). It's a part time job. I guess it has something to do with helping their team with presentations and... folding clothes? Idk. OK, there IS some sort of a short description, but how about some details, ppl? Like where, when, for how long? Or is that one of those jobs where you don't even have to apply if you don't know what they're talking about? It kinda reminds me of that joke- Psychic wanted. You know where to apply. *rolleyes*
I guess it's a step up from ads like 'We need workers'. But not by much.
I really hate vague ads. Are they supposed to intrigue us and make us wanna call and find out more? Because when I see an ad that doesn't say much, it only makes me wanna ignore it. And that's exactly what I do. Every time.
