May 26th
Dear Diary,
I got a call today from the Rare Hunters. Apparently, they're back in business, but their business is now different. It's… legal? Or at least that's what the boss said, contracts and everything. They want me back. After 3 years with no job (ever since they fired everyone, actually) and living on benefits, I'm prepared to take any job. Besides, I just graduated, so university won't get in the way. Hip hip hooray, yet another freshly baked student with a useless business degree. At least my mom is happy, all she wanted was for me to get an education, so that's good.
I did decide to take the Rare Hunters job, even though I don't even know what their offer is now. I don't care, really. I'm sick of canned food and it beats working at a fast food joint. Hell, you can barely even find a job in those places; everything is taken by starving students! Although I'm not sure how I'm going to explain the conditions of the job to my mom. Here's the deal: I gotta move to freaking Egypt. Yeah. Egypt. Out of all places, who would even want to start a business there? Either way, I don't know and I don't care what the boss is up to now, I've done some shady shit with the Rare Hunters in the past, so I'm sure it can't be worse. Apparently they're only taking six people there, including me, so that's five others I will be employed with. I didn't think I actually showed enough skill when working with them in the past, I mean our boss, right? Never even met the guy. Or girl. Hell I don't even know. And now that it's a completely different job (according to them), I have no clue why they want me. Maybe it's seriously the business degree? That would be a surprise.
Alright. I might as well go skype call my mom. First I move to England, now Egypt. She's miles from me anyway, so I hope it won't make much of a difference to her. And I'm sure she will be happy I actually got a job. Let's just hope she won't ask what position exactly am I getting.
"I'm sorry young lady, but this is all I can give you for your laptop on such short notice."
Ingrid sighed and took the money the clerk was offering for her beloved laptop. She decided to sell it, mostly because she had no choice. While her new job pays for the trip to Egypt, they don't pay for the rest of her moving expenses. That includes getting many things – extra clothes, hygiene supplies that she didn't yet have or have enough of, a special luggage bag that has the exact measurements the airport allows and so, so many more things. Besides, she'd need money for food and rent to start out. "The job pays well, if I can get off to a good start, I might even manage to buy myself an okay laptop next month. As long as I can use someone else's tech to call my mom and tell her I'm well and happy, it should be fine." Ingrid thought. She couldn't allow these small things to bring her down – so that's no video games for a month, big deal. She was getting a job, that fact alone was enough to keep her happy for a good while. She was moving forward in her life. For the last three years it felt like she was a rock – not moving anywhere, just stuck in one place. And now it's like that rock was suddenly launched from a slingshot – she was moving to Egypt to work in a company that offers a fairly good salary too. Freaking Egypt though.
"I do hope they get some business branch in a colder and less sandy country later. The last thing I want is sand in my butt." she thought, making her way through the mall, crossing things down from her shopping list. Moving isn't the easiest thing, but Ingrid got a very short notice about the job and was given only a few days to get ready before the flight, so she had to hurry. "Whatever I forget I can just buy there, it will probably be cheaper than here anyway."
A few hours later she was back in her tiny apartment, trying to shove everything into the bag she was going to take with her. She left quite a few unnecessary belongings to her roommate, like some old figurines, books and so on. Ingrid could only leave a small letter for her roommate, as she was on vacation that week, completely disconnected from the world, probably rolling around a beach somewhere in Greece. She was fun to be around while it lasted, though.
After finishing up packing her things, Ingrid laid down on her bed. It was fairly late and she had to be in the airport early in the morning tomorrow.
"I still can't believe it. Just one call from a few days ago can potentially change my life. Things may just be looking up for me once." She thought, laying on the bed. She rolled on her side and closed her eyes. "Best not to get my hopes up, though."
Ingrid slowly drifted to sleep. At 6am tomorrow, her 3 alarm clocks will go off, with another one ten minutes after, just in case, so she wouldn't fall back asleep. Tomorrow, she would sign a contract for a well-paying job at a new company and hopefully, one that has a good, fair boss. Hopefully.
AN / Guess who's back
Back again
Lol yes hello read the news on my profile page if you went like "holy cow is she actually writing fanfiction again whaaat"
If you're new though, hello there! I write nothing but fanfics about Marik from yugioh because..well I dunno. I just do. Have a cookie and I hope you have a good time here.
Short chapter for a start because it's late and I don't want to completely juice myself of words. If I do I might get bored really fast again and then booo, no fanfiction.
